Who couldn't have seen that coming?Why am I here? To talk sports, of course. Yet, its difficult to do when all one gets to read is constant whining. The question must be asked though: why are you on here when all YOU post is there is no hope, no upside, and no future? Every post. Every day. If this was just me saying this you could call me a liar. But, its not just me. Maybe you should consider maybe taking a good, long look in the mirror?Let's discuss accepting mediocrity, shall we? Of all the teams in the Power 5 conferences, WVU's education ranks DEAD LAST! By a healthy margin. That applies not just to the athletes, that applies to every student enrolled there. You've been adamant about this, attacking the "student-athlete" for not being "student" enough. What's funny though is that you don't realize this also applies to you and every other alum.Because of this, I'm going to explain what "accepting mediocrity" really means. It means that educationally, you have a LONG way to go to even get to mediocre. Now, did you accept this when you were a student there? Did you transfer to a higher ranked school - one that was well above the average - to get out of that cellar? No?So, you failed in your educational choice because you were unwilling to accept mediocrity. Perhaps you worried that if you went somewhere even mediocre you couldn't have hacked it? Perhaps you didn't even get accepted into any university above the norm? Whatever the reason, it falls on your shoulders.Finally, here's your answer to that ridiculous question about my "accepting mediocrity". One difference between you and me is that I have the wisdom to know that with regards to the things I can't change, such as win-loss records in football and basketball, I accept them for what they are for us fans - for entertainment purposes only. That way, I don't have to constantly complain, call names, and act like a child when someone disagrees with me on a message board. I can simply rebut their arguments because that's what educationally sound, mature adults do.</blockquote>
