First of all, it has always been my understanding that we could cheer for whoever we want to. I've never cheered for WVU over MU, but when the two aren't pitted against each other I have always cheered for WVU (except the last couple of years in the Rodriguez era, glad he left). Does that make me any less of a fan? does that make the money I give to MU any less valuable? Does that mean when I buy tickets to MU games, that it doesn't count towards the total attendance? Does it mean that my MU degree doesn't count, because I like WVU too?
"We are.......MARSHALL!! We are NOT Marshall and we root for wvu when we are not playing them. Do you honestly think they root for us ? Let's get real here. I say GO HERD OR GO HOME!"
I don't know really anything about the people on this board, but these type of statements sound exactly like the fans from other schools you all hate and whine about all the time. I know a lot of WVU fans who cheer for MU when they are not playing against WVU. A lot of them, come to MU football, basketball, etc.. games a lot. My father for example, a die-hard WVU fan, has been to about 4-5 WVU games in the past 20 years, and about 30 or so MU games (football, basketball and baseball), and he has at times been a member of the Big Green too. Sounds to me like he roots for MU when WVU is not playing us.
