[QUOTE="spartansstink, post: 132035346, member: 1488840"] Dude, you and I agree on a lot of things. But, this one I hate to say we don't. Like a lot of other folks on this site, I believe you have your head in the sand. All this argument about "mediocrity". Back and forth hateful banter about what constitutes mediocrity. Look, it gets a whole lot easier when you (and everyone) realizes that WVU is, has been, and always will be the definition of mediocre. A few years here and there of great, a few years here and there of terrible. For the most part, for its entire storied history, somewhere right in the middle, give or take a win or two per year. It's not going to change - no matter who the coach is or isn't, who the players are or aren't, or how much money is or isn't spent. We aren't ever getting a Nick Saban, Woody Hayes, Bear Bryant, or Pete Carroll to come here. We aren't getting 4 and 5 star players to come here so all we'll get is the mediocre ones who have to work hard. We don't have the money in this state to buy a championship. There is no white knight player or coach coming to take us to the promised land. So, its really best to just sit back and enjoy the games. When they are over, they're over. Question coaches and players - sure. Question the integrity of the sport - fine. Realize that its just a game and all about the enjoyment - absolutely and most important. [/QUOTE]
