[QUOTE="GoWVU, post: 129339017, member: 1457561"] I agree with some of what 3x said, but not all of it. Games against Penn St are ancient history; I wouldn't care if we never saw that loathsome cult ever again. The BC and Miami series each had their moments, but now feel like relics just the same. I'm totally lukewarm on Pitt, which I guess says a lot about its current status. It always seemed to me that we missed a good opportunity to capitalize on the Music City Bowl and sign Ole Miss to a home-and-home. Even low-profile Vanderbilt would be a nice chance to visit Nashville. How have we never played Arkansas? Basically anybody we never face would be exciting to me. I'd love to see a totally brand-new opponent in an unfamiliar location like Minnesota or Northwestern. WVU hasn't played a sitting Pac-12 school since the 1970s, so one of them also would be a complete change of pace. How about Air Force, since we've played the other 2 academies in the past? Please just keep rotating new schools in new areas to keep it fresh. Don't let geographic proximity, money, and history be the only factors. Novelty is important, too. [/QUOTE]
