[QUOTE="old buzzard, post: 129451896, member: 1078429"] It's not good for the state, the Civic Center was half empty. It's not good for WVU, they could have made as much money in a half filled Coliseum regardless of who they played that night. WVU never plays well in Charleston and Charleston people don't bother to show up when the Mountaineers play there. The only people that benefit at all are the Herdiots who get to use this series so they can thump their chest about how close they kept the game until it mattered. The same could be said about the football series that is no more. Marshall is consistently one of the worst games on the WVU basketball schedule according to the RPI rankings, and their football schedule is consistently ranked near the bottom in terms of SOS....... so who needs the game more ? There is nothing to gain and everything to lose for WVU by playing Marshall in any sport. One of the TV commentators mentioned that the WVU game for Marshall fans is their Super Bowl.......I think that pretty much sums it up. [/QUOTE]
