It is hard to be insecure about all thing UT. You lost, we won and you are on our board. The insecurity is on you weather you see it or not. But your ignorance is blinding.

WV hasn't won yet.
WV will win if the Big XII becomes stable and expands.
Until then WV is pretty much playing for their future.

That is the point.
The general perception around the football game was that it was by far the most entertaining football game of the year.

But...
What WV does afterwards is on them.
2018 is pretty much a do over of the 2012 season.

Look, to Texass fans, they think they are "elite". They think they are up there with the Bama's,, Ohio State's, Notre Dame's, Clemson's, and Michigan's of the world.

But, in reality, they aren't. And, it drives them nuts. They are second tier, just like us, but with more money. That's it. That's all they have - more money and a bigger stadium. But not where it counts.

You want to talk about brand? How about the two largest crowds at whatever you call your stadium have been when WVU comes to town? Not the Texass schools - they can't do it. But we can and we win there.

You want to talk about TV times? Say we don't have the "drawing power" because we play at noon next week? It appears that Texass plays several noon games this year. Maryland - noon. Red River-noon (might have been bigger if you hadn't lost to Maryland), Kansas - noon. Play on FS1 3 times also. How's that any worse than us? Oh yeah, it might depend upon who you are playing.

You aren't Notre Dame and never will be. Nobody outside Texass watches the Longhorns or the Longhorn Network because, and I hate to be the bearer of bad news, nobody gives a crap about Texass. The only reason that's a thing is because Texass has the second largest population in the country. Not because there is anything worth a **** to watch on it.

You want to talk about low rated BCS games. You know the ones that weren't watched? The one's Texass was in because they didn't make it too often did they - with all that money, Texass talent, etc?

To hell with Texass. Sell you and California back to the damn Mexicans for a bean burrito. At least the smell, gas, and intestinal discomfort eventually go away with the burrito.

Texass is back!!! Sure, to being what they always are - not relevant to anybody but themselves and their sick delusions.

Your narrative doesn't work because at the end of the day WV won.
So if the refs were wanting Texas to win they would have thrown a flag on WV's last touchdown.

You can call a penalty on every play in football.
Plus there was a false start on the play as the OT was not fully set on the snap.

Shall I go back and list all the penalties on UT that weren't called? Would take up a lot of space on here. The block in the back on the punt. The holding/not holding call. The 30 second clock runoffs. All at crucial times that allowed UT to stay in the game. I can go on... but alas there is no real need to. WVU won despite the zebras doing everything they could to keep UT in it when it probably should have been a two score win by the Mountaineers.

Guess UT just wasn't physical enough to play with us. Dropped like flies from getting hit by real men. Soft, they were. Soft as cotton. Got their feelings hurt, too from the mean ol Mountaineers giving the horns down sign. Enough to make Longhorns cry.

That attendance record will stand till next September when LSU comes to Austin but WV can reestablish the record in 2020 if it is that important to them.

No moving to 5-1 in your stadium will do for us. Really just stop. You look silly.

That would be funny if WV didn't have a losing record at home against Texas.
Anyway I see you are already counting 2020 a victory against Texas.


That is either hear or there because WV still cannot win a recruiting battle against Texas.
So...if you really want to be taken serious then actually poise a legitimate threat to Texas.

Because for now you are just another team on the schedule

I'm sure. All those coonasses will come to Austin to watch the *** kicking they will give the shorthorns. Why not? Short drive. Guaranteed win. What's not to love.

Of course, that depends upon if Texass can get past Maryland or whatever team of similar ilk they open with.

Let me fix this ridiculous post for you.

Yes, probably are counting a 2020 victory. A trend has been set.

WVU did win a recruiting battle against Texass. Our men beat your ladies this year. That's a recruiting win where it counts - on the field. However, you keep holding on to those Rivals ranking wins there paper tiger.

Been there, done that with the threat. Beat them at home, again, with their all-everything team.

Another team, another loss. See ya next year.

I hate to break it to you but those juniors and seniors are Charlie Strong's recruits.
Meaning outside of the Top 10.

None of those recruits at that game are actively interested in WV.

You win football championships by recruiting well and winning recruiting battles.

This is one of the issues for WV recruiting.
I guess they can recruit their local area by playing Maryland, Penn St, Va Tech and Pitt.
But.....

WV needs Top 20 classes.
WV needs the players in Texas to take their offer serious.
When a player gets an offer from WV they don't even consider it.

You have to accept reality...

The reality is WV needs to grow their brand and fanbase
1) The Big XII stays together and WV becomes an important team to the conference
2) The Big XII fails and WV gets thrown another life raft.

Point is unless WV grows their brand and fanbase neither will happen.

You were put on FS1 again for a 11 am /12 Eastern start.

If WV cannot pull a bigger audience than before the game the Big XII will rethink their decision

And I thought Pitt's recruiting stars arguments were absurd.

We seem to be doing enough to own Texas at Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium

Go home quit embarrassing yourself.

You are taking this a little too far out there

You really don't get it....
Texas has offers from every conference on the table right now.
Everything in the Big XII is coming to an end at the same time.
Either Texas stays or go. Without Texas the Big XII doesn't exist.
So like I said television ratings are important.
Don't be so insecure. It is the truth and not trash talking at all.

Texas leaving? Really? You think they would make more as an Independent? Let them go to the P12 and have to travel like WVU does now. That may be their best bet as they could compete immediately in the P12. SEC doesn't want them, they have aTm for the TX market. B1G? Go up against tOSU, Mich, Wisky, PSU every year? TX would be middle of the pack in the B1G ...... just like they were for the last number of years in the B12. Travel there would be just as bad as WVU. So ...... Where are they going?

This TX attitude is another reason that the B12 needs to expand immediately. Take Houston, Cincy, and 2 of UCF, USF, Memphis and ???? anyone else.

Screw UT..... B12 will survive and have a bigger and better footprint along with many more eyeballs for media.

You actually think the Big XII will still be around if Texas left...
Look at the populations of the states.
This is why Nebraska was told to get lost.

You can't fill the conference with schools that don't carry an audience.
Ask the AAC about their television contract.
That are making 1/8 of what WV does.

Legitimate threat? We just beat you. We left your crowd, your team, your coach in tears. You keep winning the recruiting and rating battles. We’ll keep winning the games.

So, let me get this straight.

Just a week ago, those Charlie Strong recruits were tougher, bigger, faster, more highly touted, and just all-around better players than anything WVU had.

But today, after losing to WVU, they aren't any good? Or should I say good enough?

If those Tom Herman recruits that are freshmen and sophomores are better than the Charlie Strong junior and senior recruits, why then does Herman not play them? Is Herman "special"? Does he not know the objective of the game is to win?

To say that none of those recruits are interested in us hurts us how? Their predecessors that were All-World because they came from Texass (and everyone who knows anything knows that Texass just produces the BEST football players) couldn't beat little ol WVU, why would we want them? They aren't as good on the field as ours, no matter what some chump from RIvals claims.

WVU doesn't need Texass players to win. They need the best players they can get from where ever they can get them. If they are from Texass so be it. If not, screw em, let em go the shorthorns and get beaten down by losses and years and years of disappointments.

What you wrote is actually the whole truth for once.

Texass does carry the B12. Yet, it isn't by the reasons UT fans think - their quality programs.

It's simply because of population. Texass has the second largest population in the US. Same argument could be made of the Pac if USC or UCLA left, or the ACC if the Florida schools left.

It's all about the numbers.

Speaking of the game Wolfman mentioned they were cheating during the first half they speakers down on the field and were pumping music right up to when we snapped the ball. We go on Wills clap and the players were having a hard time hearing the clap due to the speakers, that would explain a lot of false starts in the first half. That is illegal.

California for the most part doesn't watch college sports.

The Big XII is in danger because of the war between B1G and the SEC.
Meaning that the SEC for the most part had the economic advantage until last year.
B1G schools because of their contract with FOX gets more television money.
The SEC is needing to renegotiate their first tier rights.
They may end up going to Time Warner.
Time Warner would be willing to trade MLB for College Football.
To renegotiate first tier rights they need Texas and Oklahoma.
There is a bigger push from Birmingham then the previous years to push the Big XII to extinction.
