Do not know if any of you saw this but front page ESPN
Good for WVU and Big XII
Seems like ABC is backing the Big XII in a big way this year. Ratings have a lot to do with it.
The more we watch our football the more they tell our story

It's funny that regardless of Grier's on the field success the media is more interested in discussing his life off of the field. Regardless it's good pub.

Early game on national television is a chance for Grier to speak on the field

National auidence with an early start could make one of these QB's a much bigger name
I am sure ESPN/ABC will promote this game as the battle of great QB's. Maybe one can enter his name in the Heisman race.
Especially considering Barkley may disappoint.
2 Heisman canidates from the conference would speak volumes.

I bet Coach McElwain is thinking he let one get away. But it's understandable McElwain didn't recruit Grier and probably didn't believe Will's story. Florida Gators and McElwains loss is The Mountaineers and Holgrosen's gain.

Also I read the sidebar article about David Sills V. Cudos to Coach Holgrosen for being honest about Sills chance to become QB at WVU. I'm also impressed at Holgrosen being supportive of Sills desire to go try playing QB at CC level but leaving the door open to him at a WVU.

No matter what though McElwain comes across as the bad guy who doesn't support student-athletes. Especially ones he didn't recruit. On the other hand Holgrosen is a Hero.

Plus he has a thing for sharks.

He is an Interior West guy from Montana in Florida. He doesn't fit in. That is the biggest problem with him.
