I can't.
We should be playing sPitt, Sandusky State, VA Tech, Maryland, Syracuse or even Moo U.

Maybe if their coach croakes on the sideline it would be interesting.
The game is not even going to sellout and we are a Top 10 team.

Nothing to be excited about. The Big 12-2 is killing our football program.
We haven't won yet and we will not win until there is excitement back into the stands.

I am. I’m going to drive three hours to see the game. I’m looking forward to our offense putting up some big numbers.

Hell, yes!

I was excited about watching WVU play Youngstown.

I'm more excited about seeking what the wiley fox on the other sidelines is up to.

If you can't get excited about WVU football you should be a Pitt fan. No trouble getting a seat for all its home games.

Sure, while I would thoroughly enjoy some of the previous Big East and/or regional matchups, the first Big 12 conference game in which West Virginia is a championship contender is exciting. Plus, an ill-planned bye week was difficult to bear.

Spot on. We need to be in a conference with eastern teams and more of our geographic rivals. We need to win the Big 12 this year. We certainly keep the Big 12 above water. Without WVU football and basketball the Big 12 would have suffered the last several years.

You drink to much.

That would make me the first person to get drunk on Pepsi, my beverage of choice. A 6-pack of beer would last me about 6 months at the rate I drink it. I get high on the Mountaineers.

Admitting you cant get excited is a good first step for you.

While your gf or wife must hate you, there are health care professionals out there that can help you.
Go see a professional.

Personally I will take a win. Flag football is boring.

Boring? You've got to be kidding! There's nothing more glorious than seeing 4 WVU receivers streaking downfield, or cutting toward the middle, and Will Grier finding the open man and throwing a strike within 3 seconds. It brings tears of glory to my eyes every time I see it. And I'm on my way to Mountaineer Field to enjoy WVU out-foxing that wily ol' fox on the other sidelines that I don't trust at all. Such a gentleman and a great teacher of young men, Bill Snyder. This will be a litmus test for WVU since K-State this year is the median Big 12 team. Half the teams in the Big 12 are better, half are worse than K-State, it seems. Tee up the damn ball! I'm ready!

actually we should be playing games against teams in our region...syracuse as an example. not going to happen but much neater to be able to drive to games etc. who can get excited about kansas st, kansas, iowa st, texas tech? when the sports channels collapse under the weight of paying way too much for a mediocre football model then syracuse will look pretty good.

I think the Big12ish has been good for us. I would certainly rather be here than in the ACC or Big10ish, and being stuck in the American would likely have resulted in the stagnation of competitive WVU sports. The only major downside is travel times, but that hurts football much less than basketball and baseball who play quite a few more games and travel a lot more by default.

Big XII is just fine. Those teams we used to play sold us down the road. I very much enjoy watching The Mountaineers play Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, KSU, Texas and any Big XII team.

We will get to see a few of the old opponents in OCC games. That good enough.

In baseball you play weekend series and then you play OOC midweek games.

The schedule is similar to football except you play 3 games instead of one.

WV has the issue of scheduling good midweek games unlike the Texas schools.
I can shake a stick in Texas and knock out 15-20 good baseball schools
