We won 8 games last season. Sorry if that doesn't satisfy you but what would, and is satisfying you all that important?

7-6 for life

7-6, 8-5, who cares. Both records reflect irrelevant mediocre football teams regardless of conference.
I happen to care. I think the players on the team cared. I think the students cared. I think the staff and the employees in the athletic department cared.
But you don't care. I think everyone involved will still sleep soundly tonight despite that.
The only irrelevant variable in this discussion would be yourself.
Let me ask you this. If WVU would have won 10 games last year, instead of 8, would your life have been any different? Would it have been any better?
Most "fans" who demand "excellence" from football teams are themselves totally average and mediocre in their personal lives and that's why their demands usually fall on deaf ears.
Less than a year ago there were plenty of folks here asking why we weren't doing what Baylor was, and having their success (despite knowing we've already had that kind of success). Now can I ask, would you still like to be Baylor? Do you still wish WVU would do what they did to have that success?
There's no proven formula to win football games. Sometimes you just need to have the patients to wait until it turns around. RR did great at WVU, but not great at Michigan. LSU didn't win a SEC title for almost 20 years until Saban arrived. If winning were as simple as firing a coach, Pitt would have won the last 4 national titles.
Hopefully we win football games this year, but if not, that's what we got bridges for, ya dig?
but it is important for WVU to hold onto its brand and at this point its slipping
What's pretty obvious is mediocrity doesn't bother you
It's beyond my control and I can still enjoy WVU sports when we are "only" winning 8 games.
I go 12-0 every year in my personal life. Still undefeated.
Your satisfied with being mediocre in football don't worry we got it.
We have discussed it before, but one possibility is that WVU-H wants the land.
I don't think it's imminent, but investing an additional 30 years into the location probably isn't feasible.
I know very small health care systems acquiring adjacent land to their flagship hospitals at a rapid pace. This property really should be in the hands of WVU-H, it's what makes most sense.
Aren't they perhaps halfway finished investing another 20 years into it now with future projects in the works?
LOL - Is that even an insult?
I suppose it's meant to be, but considering that it comes from a grown man who is satisfied not knowing the difference between YOUR and YOU'RE, it doesn't burn deep.

Have you been on campus? The amount of new construction is amazing. Also, private construction is everywhere. Go through sunnyside now looks like you entered a different city.
I don't take any insults from a travelling donuts salesman who dress up is clown outfits during movie premiers that seriously.
Yes, I've spent some time there. I remember when what is now MPS was being built and thinking, "How in the hell will they ever fill 60,500 seats?" I have run Law School hill simply for sport. That was stupid. I guess a short answer would be yes!
We already are playing football at a high level. Perhaps the highest level in college football. .

LOL - As usual, right over your head.
i meant in the last couple years.
lol
Whats over your head is you can't figure it out. You always where a little slow on the uptake but your contradictory statements prove that.
Sometimes you just need to have the patients
No contradictory statements. The B12 is at the highest level of college football. It's a power conference and very competitive. That's playing at the highest level. In the Big East, we weren't doing that. Sorry I had to hold your hand through this discussion, but if anyone ever needed it, it was you.
The SEC is the Highest level of college football sorry this need to be explained to you. The Big 12 really shows its competitiveness come bowl time.
Geez...you must be a doctor. lol
No, just a guy with auto-correct on his phone. But, there (or should I say their) is a guy who liked pretending to be one.
Never said I was an MD it was just assumed by a clown trying to call people out for their grammar but just got owned for his
That's your opinion, and if that's what it is, WVU most likely never play at the highest level because it doesn't look like we'll ever be in the SEC.
So will you never be satisfied as a fan, because of it?
I think the power conferences are the highest level. Those are the teams with the opportunity to play for the national championship and upper tier bowls.
LOL - GOOD JOB!!!!!
Well I guess I can blame it on my cell phone. Patients or patience?
Its funny that someone like yourself who proclaims to be transparent and non biased would even continue to take a position concerning the football programs performance.
Cuyahoga Falls Eers...You get it. Good post. Unfortunately, some on here think being an also ran, or less, is somehow okay...particularly if a Red Bull chuggin', hair blowin' coach remains...the coach. Good programs don't survive on excuses...they get better.
No one would stop you if you did, but we both know I've been laughing about your inability to properly use your/you're, and their/there, and now were/where, for a long time.
I'll make you a promise. If I habitually misuse patients/patience for the next year, I give you my full approval to mock.
Well It wouldn't matter what you misuse you're excuse will always be you're cellphone just as it will for me but just the very fact that you have to bring the discussion to grammar shows your're weakness and insecurities. You're feeble attempts to change the subject away from football performance to a subject that obviously you haven't mastered yourself is obvious proof that you spend too much time on message boards and not enough time listening to mommy when she tells you to do you're homework junior.
I've never claimed to be non-biased. Obviously, I'm very biased towards WVU. I think you and a couple others in this discussion are very biased against WVU, but what does it matter? Our opinions don't mean very much and as we've seen with RR, and BS, our coaches future isn't dependent on what opinions get tossed around on this message board.
I have said in the past that I'm indifferent to DH and that if he gets fired, so be it. In fact, I've actually said several times that Lyons should just step up to the plate and fire DH so WVU can avoid an even uglier situation that could be coming.
