[QUOTE="GoWVU, post: 129262332, member: 1457561"] [b]I didn't know about any of that stuff, Vernon...[/b] The original poster has a valid point. I am, and always have been, a football fan first, second, and third. By contrast, yesterday for the first time ever I was trying to search for future WVU basketball schedules. The stagnancy of the football program under Stewart was cited as a reason for making a change, and that was a legitimate concern. However, the results on the field never made me lose excitement about WVU football in general--even though its direction at the time was not moving forward. That isn't the case any more. The Holgorsen era is sapping some of my enthusiasm for WVU football and, judging by the original poster's words, I am not the only one. I no longer care as much about hearing the latest buzz coming out of spring football--regardless of when or how that information is disseminated. No matter what we read, the eventual results will be middling yet again...with more of the same blather by his gang of PR flacks about how he still needs a few extra years to build up the talent base for the alleged rigors of Big 12 play. As a different poster on these boards first mentioned a few months ago, Luck appears to have made something far worse than a bad hire: He made a painfully mediocre one. Holgorsen isn't quite bad enough to get fired, but he also isn't good enough to get us anywhere. Eventually that isn't going to be a positive for business at a school which has been football-first for decades...either Vernon's business or the athletic department's. For the record, Vernon, the Holgorsen-era malaise and the accompanying hijacking of the board in the last 2 years by his attack dogs like Keaton, Painted, wbgvwbgv, and Shipyard ARE the only reasons I have not rejoined the pay portion of your site. I find it hard to believe I am the only potential customer who has made the same decision. [/QUOTE]
