Most of the year you felt WVU was not receiving respect, should have been ranked higher, when really in the end it looks like they were ranked just about right. This loss can be used as a building block of an unfinished season. Would be nice to see the Big12 back to being a more respected conference. The B1G 10 went through a lot of years recently where it was OSU or nobody. To me college football is better when each conference has two or three teams who you feel is capable of winning it all or could win on any given day against anyone. Exactly. Yea, we got the shit kicked out of us. But, 90% of that falls back on having a below average QB. In turn, leaves our defense in the field way too long. Next year, with a lot of experience and key pieces coming back and finally a real QB, we'll be a more complete team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HokieStone Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 By the way...is the "SEC is the best conference" narrative finally dead? They are a 1 team conference at this point. They're 1-5 (I think) in bowls this year. The ACC is something like 17-12 against them in the last 3 years. Yes, Alabama is still a juggernaut...but the rest is decidedly average (which may inflate Alabama's perception...we'll see). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to away games and not felt very safe. Against South Florida in 07 or 08, was the worst. Yet, I must admit it gets pretty bad in Morgantown sometimes. I've witnessed oranges being thrown at Syracuse fans from balconies on the hill to the stadium. And once we gave refuge to a OSU fan who ventured into The Pit (where all the students hang out and get drunk, my buddy lived in apartments right beside it) late into the game while we was taking a whooping. He was lost and couldn't find his group, he spent the night with us and thanked us a 100 times. I admit there are some bad fans at WVU games, 99% Are just there for a good time and will treat anyone with respect everytime. That shit is embarrassing.

Joe Pesci Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I didn't watch much of Okla St vs Colorado last night, but what I did see was Okla St. thoroughly laying the wood to the Buffalos.

He'll go to the Raiders and become wealthy enough to own a few Belks, ala "Neon Deon" theiving a Dilliards a few decades ago?

Ded As Ned Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Not only that, the team was there on a shopping spree paid for by Belk as sponsors of the bowl. Each player reportedly had a $450 gift card to spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sperry Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 OU had a star defensive tackle sent home from the Fiesta Bowl about a decade ago for stealing a coat from Burlington Coat Factory. Stoops sent him home on a Greyhound . He then had his career ended by a cheap shot by two offensive linemen on Tyrone Willingham's 0-12 Washington team. Speaking of which, I think there's a decent case to be made that Tyrone Willingham is the worst coach in the history of college football. He went 0-12 at Washington. That's pretty hard to wrap your head around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, he was a senior, so he's out of eligibility, and apparently one of the top rated TEs in the upcoming draft. So, once they dismissed him from the game...not much more they can do. In a crossover that would appeal to this board...I was just driving home from work, and had the radio tuned to Espn, which is covering the Music City Bowl. The commentator - Anish Shroff, I think - talking about the Tennessee QB said "he's as sharp as Valyrian Steel". It caught me off guard for a second....

Something that was remarkable about that 0-12 Husky team was that they lost their final game to a Wazzu team that was even worse. A Hitler tribute was made.

That was a awesome game though. I was yelling for Gavin to just get down, so he breaks a tackle and goes like 65 yards. Francois definitely looked like a freshman tonight, but the kid is legit and I'm excited to have him for a few more seasons. A good way to end the year and I'm glad Cook and Walker had huge games. I'm gonna miss those dudes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ded As Ned Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Game day is finally here! Woke up at 7am and thought "4 hours til kickoff" and there was pretty much no sleeping in after that. I don't often have beer for breakfast, but when I do, it's for an 11am kickoff and UK's first bowl game in 6 years. GO CATS! BEAT TECH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Seswatha Jordan Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 You guys think Peppers just pulled a Fournette without having the balls to actually do it? Leonard Fournette just ruined CF for me. I'm gonna be really upset if this becomes a trend. All these great players sitting out bowl games for risk of an injury. I mean, I can see how their protecting their wealth, but come on, you have to make it through 3 years of football and show durability to be considered a true first rounder. Many a player has dropped because of injury throughout their career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
