[QUOTE="eers1foru_rivals, post: 129729547, member: 1797561"] Just my 2 cents. I think this speaks more to just how bad the Big XII is than how bad WVU is. I think WVU is exactly where they were last season. The rest of the Big XII is simply down. Oklahoma gets smacked around by Ohio State and Houston because when compared to the really good teams they just don't stack up. And when we face teams who are average or better we get smacked around as well. Just so happens there are a bunch of below average teams in the Big XII this season. And we are benefitting from that. As for the contract, Shane Lyons has to decide if being a consistently average team in this conference is enough. Is it worth waiting for nine other teams to all have bad years at the same time to be in the conversation for the playoff? And if it is not who is out there that would come here that can improve on our play? I don't envy his position.
