    Now we know why we opted out of the NIT

    You folks need a Midol. Two days ago when he was leaving for Iowa, it was A-OK. He was "going home" and everybody was wishing him nothing but the best. Now, he's a bum. For going to a storied program in arguably a better conference and a better paying one at that. Wow... how terrible. Woe is...

    Not fit - still eating at me

    Potato brain still better than the alternative.

    As mentioned before, nothing wrong with testing the waters. Especially when the overwhelming majority of them will be playing at a level below next year. Why not go there and get playing time rather than riding the pine here.

    Nothing wrong with testing the waters. Most of WVU's transfers end up playing at schools a division lower anyway so that shows you how good they were in the first place. I've yet to see one WVU can't live without - CJ included.

    GAME THREAD West Virginia Football vs Memphis - Scooter’s Coffee Frisco Bowl

    As you stated, bowl games are meaningful - to the players. To the fans - mehhhh. Two exceptions apply - you're in the playoffs or you're on the uptick after years of not making one. It's basically just supply and demand. If you made a bowl, say, in the 90's and before, that was indicative of...

    Wren Baker - Sell-out for money

    Wrong! Nick Saban is the best candidate but I see your point.

    Wren Baker - Sell-out for money

    First, I never made that point about Rod. At any time. That is an assumption you are making. My belief is this - was Rod the BEST choice for the job and on what criteria was that based upon? That is not an unreasonable question. If the answer is WVU has a very narrow and limited budget for the...

    Wren Baker - Sell-out for money

    Before I can answer, it would depend upon the definition of "success" you want to use. Super Bowls? Championships? Winning seasons? Hall of Fame career? Longevity? Overall record? You establish the metrics and we will apply it to both of them and see which one measures up the best. For the...

    Wren Baker - Sell-out for money

    Coached in the NFL. Suppose there is a stud recruit that both WVU and UNC want. Belichick goes in to the living room with his Super Bowl rings, calls Tom Brady, tells the kid he knows how to get him to the NFL because he's been there and won that. What does Rod bring? Don't slouch on the...

    Wren Baker - Sell-out for money

    That's what I'm afraid of. In this business, you often get what you pay for. Maybe Belechick comes in, wins the ACC in dominant fashion, and gets a bye every year in the playoff. Then, would the price be worth it? Maybe Rod comes in and does the same? The price would definitely be worth it...

    I'm bought in

    I'm not and never was in favor of the hire but it is what it is. Winning cures a lot of ill will. The problem is that when you put someone on a pedestal, like quite a few fans on here are doing, if it crashes it may take you down with it. But, the results will speak for themselves. Either he...

    Wren Baker - Sell-out for money

    I'm mostly interested in what the details of his contract are. That will tell us a lot. If there wasn't enough money to hire someone like Bill B (UNC) and Rod would work for the lower pay then what Wren did was acceptable - Rod was the best hire for the price (remember, we're paying two head...

    Pitt is at home next year.

    Keep building that pedestal

    Pat McAfee says "something special"......what do you think he means?

    For now... There was a time we all liked Brown here, too :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

    To be honest, my real frustration with HCNB

    Mine with Brown was his inability to put all the pieces together at once. For example, a great o-line, decent running backs, a decent QB, but no receivers worth a crap. The next year, it would be something else like better receivers but a 50% QB. Frustrating... Defensively, it was the same...
