[QUOTE="CE4WVU, post: 129379552, member: 1424600"] EERs, not sure if you were around this board (pre-Rivals format), but when Dandy Don was losing games towards the end of his tenure, it was just as nasty on the old message board... if not worse. There are quite a few here that have no idea the vitriol that was scattered across this message board (back in it's old format/pre-Rivals system) when the team lost the Insight.com bowl against Missouri and resulting in WVU's 8th straight bowl loss under Nehlen... and even up until Dandy Don announced his retirement towards the end of the 2000 season after the loss to Cuse. One that really was hilarious was the quote for the 2000 season "Shock the Nation"... It was nasty and I am pretty sure Vernon remembers quite well how insane it was then on one of his old boards. Personal attacks, fairweather fan accusations and much more... If I recall, Vernon either banned or was close to banning several that had trouble heeding his advice. One (if he were still alive today) would be B & R, that would be able to tell you how bad it got. [/QUOTE]
