HCNB’s tenure infected the fanbase with malaise & apathy. The program that is our alter ego became an embarrassment. We questioned our investment when the admin seemed content with a less than mediocre program.
Mountaineer fans want to believe in the program again. We are ready to believe & re-invest in the program. But we trusted the climb & were crushed by the fall. We need proof it’s safe to go all in. UVA was a downpayment. A win over OKST closes the deal.
Big game for OKST. Big game for WVU. My humble opinion is the winner is destined for a spot in B12 championship game. The game defies prediction. Home team advantage gives WVU the edge.
What a day in West Virginia! Mild temp - not too cool, not too hot. No humidity. Gorgeous golden sun on a vibrant blue sky proclaiming “it’s a great day to be a Mountaineer!” Everything is bright & clear. Gentle breeze whispering “Get thee to Morgantown.”
Attention Oklahoma State fans, please be advised WVU’s student section usually does not fill up into halfway through the first quarter. Those kids have been partying since Thursday night & need a brief respite to sober up a bit beforehand so they can make their way into MF.
Do you know why the nation is always rooting against WV? Why the 99% are so invested in WVU losing? They know if WVU ever wins a natty the east coast - from NY to Florida - burns to the ground.
If WVU or Mountaineer fans are your targets you need to remember our bitter rivals are Pitt & VT. The rivalry with Pitt is exceptionally mean-spirited. There’s no mutual respect. They hate us and we hate them. Vitriol & animus reign.
We rocked VT’s bus. Shoved Beamer into a trash can. Sportsmanship goes out the window when we play the Backyard Brawl. We want to hurt Pitt as much as beat them. And that feeling is mutual.
So you can’t get under our skin. But you can lose our respect. I encourage smack talk if done properly. Be smart, be funny. Be a credit to the school you want to represent. Be better than stereotypes, tropes, crassness & un-originality.
