[QUOTE="MountaineerWV, post: 129383745, member: 1763401"] I guess I'm at this point: Seems like most everyone is "OK" with us being where we are at. They are just thankful we are in a power 5 conference. But, my question is pretty simple.....if our fans are now in the mindset that we have no shot of winning this conference because we don't have the "players" it takes, and probably never will, then why are we here? We would have been better off in the AAC. Seriously, we would have. Closer travel for our fans. And teams we can compete with and win championships. Don't get what I'm saying confused, I'm not saying we should be there. I'm saying that IF our fans don't think we will win championships in this league, then being in it just to say "hey, we are in with the big boys" isn't what I want. Because when the season comes to an end year after year, we are either 5-7 (no bowl), 6-6 (crappy bowl), or 7-5 (less crappy bowl).....and usually playing another disappointing team just so we can be disappointed further.
