[QUOTE="mountaineers8893, post: 129258517, member: 2011629"] That's sad.. there's a lot of things wrong with the West Virginia University offering you a scholarship to play a game, and then laugh at the ppl who pay the taxes that support said university. WV can be called many of vile things, most of which are seen much differently when you've lived the entirety of your life here.. but the passion of our fans should never be questioned. We love our Mountaineers, and we all have different versions of what we think is best as far as coaching or recruiting, all of that, but in the end, those who call WV home, whether by choice or default, love the athletic teams who represent our university, and our state, at WVU. I say players who laugh at that notion, while taking a free ride to an education for their athletic ability , don't deserve to be mountaineers. There are way too many WV residents who would have loved to attended WVU, who have talents outside of athletics, or who have circumstances that didn't allow them to attend WVU, such as myself, for there to not be a basic appreciate for the fans that ultimately pay the bills, whether they are alumni or not. I'm glad we have a more appreciative BBall team now, and Browne's words were very touching. I know him and Staten will be remembered as true mountaineers. Is that too much? [/QUOTE]
