It really bothers me that this has become a WVU board. It's why I stayed away. 50% to 75% of this forum is WVU posts. They don't design their entire season around us. Why should we plan ours around them?
First off you don't have to read this board.
Second, these (well my posts anyways) are hate posts against wvu. One might even call it a hate crime with the hated passion I unleash when it comes to them. But hating wvu is not a crime because everyone hates them.
While their fans are arrogant as hell towards us, their "rivalry" with ecu (3 wins in like 15 games for ecu) got me thinking...the arrogant fanbase when they got beat 27-3 at the hands of an awfully overrated team, they said, "whoa! this team beat US!!! They beat wvu!!! WE HAVE TO SCHEDULE THEM!"
They think anyone who beats them is worth scheduling. Since we haven't beaten them we have no case. However, we beat them (much depends on how);
A squeaker 3-7 point victory would make them say, "it was a fluke, we'll see about it next season." We win the next season, they'll begin to wonder if we really can compete, we win again, people will straight up demand we play since the series is suddenly evening out.
A 60-3 victory would bolster this next issue up a few notches they'll have no choice to but look at it. I'm sure ESPN will make note of the fact this is our first victory against them and replay it on the highlight reels for the week. 60-3 victory against them replayed for a whole week would just make them brood, lol.
Psychologically, the ecu game wasn't just a win, it was an embarassing @sskicking. Such a victory convinced the simpletons in morganhole that ecu was competitive. If we won, they'll want to schedule us because they'll consider the W a fluke and just keep poundin' us...unknowingly we've built ourselves up and legally, having scheduled next several games with us, will continue to lose and we'll be the first to 10 before they know it. They'd be willing to schedule us if we beat them, for the next 100 years, just so they can continue to convince themselves that they're better because they're convinced we should never have beaten them and a long schedule would prove it (since they think they'll win out which they won't).
It's an arrogance issue.
