Black Diamond Trophy

Who else is looking forward to the VT game? Great way to begin a season playing a old rival. Get The Black Diamond Trophy back VT has had it far long enough.

Below is link to Wikipedia about it for those fans that don't know much about it.

When VT opted to end the series they actually kept the trophy? Seems odd to hang onto a rivalry trophy when you're too soft to defend it.

Indeed I will be attending and yes looking forward to this match-up as much as any in a very long while.

The Herd agrees with your post.

The Herd agrees with your post.

Don't you have to actually win at least one game in a series to call it a rivalry. Your team has a perfect record against the Eers in Football. That is to say no wins ever. Please tell me why WVU should waist its time? What is to be gained by playing your team if all your going to do is be a whipping boy for us every time out.

We backed out because the series was a joke. VT backed out under the guise of boogeyman fans. If VT beat us 12 in a row I'd be okay with the series ending, not sure why the Herd has any interest in us going for 20 in a row.

Let 'em keep it, they are dead to me! No interest in playing any of the backstabbers from the old BE. I would rather play teams from the SEC.
