[QUOTE="mounty99, post: 129448679, member: 1855337"] It doesn't matter how good the Big East was then or the Big 12 is now.....WVU can't control those outside forces. The only thing that matters is the WVU program and it's potential in the Big 12. In 5 years under Dana the program is what it is. What upsets many of the boosters and fans is that WVU is currently under achieving. (yes fans and boosters were upset which is why Lyons had to make a statement in the first place) It's not about some entitlement as fans or an unrealistic expectation to win or be in the playoff every year like some make it out to be. No one thinks that. It's not even about an expectation for what the final record should be. If you really watch the games and understand competition you realize WVU is under achieving over the past 3 or 4 years. Since 2013 WVU is loosing a net of 2 games each year that it is capable of and should be winning. OSU and KSU this year. TCU, KSU & Texas in 2014. Maryland, Texas Tech, Iowa State and Kansas in 2013. It's not about the final record as much as it's about playing to our ability. That was the same issue with Stewart and the same issue with Nehlen through the last half of the 90's. Everyone gets that some on here really like Dana and that he's living up to your expectations. But some of us see the potential for WVU to do better and think if Dana could do it he would have by now. [/QUOTE]
