[QUOTE="The Bell Tolls for Thee, post: 131770289, member: 1812660"] And none of that changes that he really faltered at the end of last season. When WVU really needed him to push into the post season last year he was not the contributor he was earlier in the season. We can disagree as to why, but my belief is he just didn't want it anymore which may be partly due to the frustrations that other teams were really selling out against his strengths. Using other analogies, WVU shouldn't have expected what it got from Slaton, White, or Javon Carter. Doesn't mean that in the here and now commentary can't be made. By your reasoning of bringing up that WVU shouldn't of expected what it ultimately got out of Culver 3 years ago is akin to saying "WVU fans shouldn't have been upset by missing out on the MNC in 2007 because WVU fans were not expecting to be in that position 4 years earlier." As if that makes losing to a 4 win, 28 point underdog any less of screw-up when you have the more talented team. [/QUOTE]
