Two things. First, I'm really excited about ODU coming in. It's a 3 hour drive and "they'll be fine."
Second, win 10 games a year and occassionally go undefeated, or nearly, over a 20-30 year time frame, we'll be right where WVU is now. Their clear lack of class aside, that's a place I'd like to be. In other words, win, and the fans will return, and grow, and the facilities will follow. It will take a long time. But it took a hell of a long time after 1970 for the program to get to where it was in 1999 too. Winning consistently + patience equals long term success and growth. Look at WVU...as much as it pains me to say it, but that's the path they followed. It's not like they were a powerhouse in 40-50 years ago. They are close to being now.
