[QUOTE="doneagain, post: 130750869, member: 1396145"] I liked Dana. It wasn’t until after he left that I realized how stagnant we had become as a program, and I am not talking solely about wins and losses, but the feeling of “believing we can” had been replaced with “hoping we can.” There are only 2 blue bloods in the B12 football. The next tier after that is Oklahoma State and WVU. Recently TCU and Baylor have raised their level, though both have had ups and downs. Texas Tech is tier 3 consistently. And so on and so forth. What I am getting at is right now WVU has a disadvantage in resources, branding and perception in comparison to Texas and Oklahoma. Only WVU can close that gap. Most years WVU is probably playing for third place on paper in the Big 12. But WVU has shown in 88, 93, and 07 that it can make a serious run at a National championship about once a decade. The realistic goal for WVU is to shoot for consistent 10-win seasons with a build up for a serious run once in a while. I believe Neal Brown is capable of that, if he truly buys in and stays committed. [/QUOTE]
