Worst 10-win team ever?
- Thread starter Joan Deerfield
- Start date
1) Virginia was 9-5 in 2002. They weren't great, but they did play a powerhouse schedule and beat two 11-3 teams in consecutive weeks. We're still waiting on Holgorsen's second victory over a team 11-3 or better.
2) The Northern Illinois team who beat Maryland in 2003 was 10-2. Their loss to GT was not great, but Maryland did manage to beat a 9-4 Clemson plus 4 more victories over 8-5 teams. That resume dwarfs ours this season.
You can keep trying to tear them down all you want, but the schedules are proving you a liar.
BYU solid win. Nothing great but I definitely always respect a win over BYU. I'd rather talk about Penn St and Clemson though if you want to pivot away from WVUs joke schedule. That would be way cooler.
In fairness Pitt played their worst game of the year with a lot of players out for all or most of the game. I was surprised NW ran so well. That's the one area Pitt has been solid. The 3rd and 4th down conversions by NW were crazy. Pitt pissed away about 20 points. Made one mistake after another. Refs were a bit shaky. They were Big12 LOL and I can see why you guys ***** a lot about them. ACC crews aren't great but that crew was well below the line. Other than that definitely a day for both of us to forget.
BTW the deference between the two of us is that I was in an airport bar in NY rooting for WVU!!!
You are right Rich Rod inherited 7 win team and lead them to 3 wins with someone elses recruits and Dana took a 9 win team a improved them to 10 wins and an Orange Bowl championship.
10-2 with a MAC schedule that is a better loss that Oklahoma or OK St or Miami you are high
When Dana took over wvu he took over a program that had went to 2 bcs bowl games in recent memory and a team that had won at least 9 games in each of the last 6 season's. something than Rich never inherited. You're just butt hurt that Dana will never elevate the program to the level rich did.
The same amount in as Rod has at three schools without Pat White. He turned one of the winning-est programs in the country into a dumpster fire. But fanboys like you think he was a star . He caught fire because he took a player no one else wanted at QB , kind of like Howard. and a special rb that the home state school didnt want. Then he magically stated winning games after Miami , Va Tech and Boston college left and were replaced by Louisville , Ucon , Cincy and USF . Yeah he was a stud . Boston College was kicking his ***
Well after 5 years in the big 12. Acc/Big east teams are still kicking Dana'a a$$. Dana hasn't won any Bcs games with his own recruits. He had the chance at a new years six game this season but he failed to recruit a serviceable Division 1 QB something that previous coaches where able to do in the big east.
Never said it was a "better" loss, but you are being dishonest by citing it as if it were a terrible loss when it wasn't.
P.S. That same Oklahoma St team we lost to this year got beat by a 6-7 MAC team, but I guess somehow that's not as bad as the 2003 Maryland team losing to a 10-2 MAC team is it?
Have fun with this nitwit, Colorado. I am done wasting time with him. :flush:
You never ***** and moan about winning 10 games in a season. It doesn't happen very often. Bowls are another story. Wvu has historically struggled in bowl games (something like 5 or 6 games under .500) for whatever reason. But I'll take double digit wins in a season any time.
It's a fair question, after the embarrassing bowl game we might not finish in the top 20 as a 10 win team.
