[QUOTE="WVUFanForever, post: 129954569, member: 1638754"] I will reiterate what others have said and that is we have no Big XII rivals and never will. Oklahoma and Texas are always going to be the big games on the football schedule, but we will never have a rivalry with either. If you look at Oklahoma, we would never jump Texas or Oklahoma State as rivals and the same could be said for Texas. We would never jump Oklahoma or any of the other Texas schools. In my view, our best rival and longest rivalry was with Pitt. Va. Tech became a fierce rival after Beamer started having success there but not a minute before. Maryland is just Maryland. I never see much angst between the schools. Penn State was our rival but we were nothing but a win to them. Maybe Cuse, especially after the Marvin Graves incident. I mean you could always list old BE schools like BC and Rutgers, but were they really rivals? In basketball only, we had a good thing with Temple and Chaney but those days are long gone. Basically, to get back to the question, we have no conference rivals and we rarely play our long-standing East rivals. It's one of the causalities of realignment and modern-day athletics. [/QUOTE]
