trade,you are absolutely right. Fact is, I feel sorry for them. The only way they can feel good about themselves is tout 0-12. They are in now where land with uspams situation and threads like this draw them out of their lurking status like flies. Just a sample, hilljack who married his cuz in Richmond, cuntree roads, the renowned da wee wee, All we need is the really stupid one who always had da wee wee on his back.
Good point. Go watch the tape the big east announcers acknowledged the horrible calls while moss was mugged. Also replay would have helped us on fumble screw job. At the end of the day, we out gained and our first downed wvu in our first D1 game with 4 turnovers and blocked punt plus home cooking and mighty hillbilly u had to come from behind in the fourth Q
My response had nothing to do with whether WVU is scared or not. Cousin posed the query of how MU and ISU would do playing each other's schedule.
Now personally, I don't think we would do well in the B12 playing with our current resources on a weekly basis. But give us B12 $$ and I think we could be near the middle of the pack. Certainly better than ISU or Kansas. And ISU would probably be one of the better teams in CUSA, with B12 $$. Give them CUSA $$, they probably don't do very well.
It's not a fair question unless the $$ issue is addressed.
Head to head right now I think we beat ISU 6 or 7 out of 10 assuming it's home and home on an equal basis.
Not really regarding visiting your board and coming away feeling better about ourselves, at least from my viewpoint.
However, I come away feeling a bit chastened.
Thinking that maybe somebody here would NOT use PSU, Alabama, USC, ND or whomever as the measuring stick for the MU-WVU discussion, I'm let down again.
So, yeah, we're not OSU, Michigan, LSU or FSU but there are others out there that we do well against, some of which their partisans maintain otherwise, damn the facts.
And I remind you that you will have another chance in your bowl game to make your point that you are better than us by proxy-----UCONN beat us once.
First of all this is a Marshall board. Second let this sink in, we don't need to play you. Let me say it again, we don't need to play you guys. I am happy to play Purdue 1-1 and Louisville 1-1 and Pitt 1-1. I know it hurts your damaged ego to admit it but a team that is 25-25 the past 4 years is in no position to demand anything. Now go away!
Marshal is a CUSA team - a lower tier G5 conference. WVU is a Power Five team. The Mountaineers lose money by playing in Huntington. There is absolutely nothing about the series that benefits WVU.
As for being afraid. Yes indeed. So afraid that Virginia Tech, Missouri, BYU and others were scheduled just to avoid the powerful Thundering Herd.
I've heard that Holgorsen's problems come from the paranoia he has that WVU will be forced to play Marshall again.
A very well connected source tells me that both Nick Saban and Jimbo Fisher have declined interest in replacing Holgorsen because they don't want their career records besmirched by loss after loss to Doc Holiday's Herd.
I've even heard one WVU BoG member say that Dr. Gee would drop football rather than enduring yet another embarrassing loss to Marshall in football.
The fear is real. It haunts Stewart Hall to this very day.

@tradebait is correct about topics like this being click bait for WVU fans.
Locking this thread now. It has run it's course.
