[QUOTE="3xWVUenginEER, post: 129318968, member: 1476506"] "Don't bring up Big East / Big XII crap" You had to have worked in the newspaper industry to make such a totally ignorant statement. This intelligence is partly why that industry is dying faster than shopping malls and people 40 and under wont read them if the cost is free. Look at something called SOS. Jeff Sagarin is pretty famous for it. He's published in the last major newspaper still clinging to profitability outside the WSJ. He knows his stuff. You could learn a lot. Well maybe. Dana has played SOSs tougher in the Big XII than any WVU coach. For instance last season, the SOS was like 12. Year before that was ranked 8th after the regular season and before bowl season (we didn't play a 13th game). First season in Big XII the SOS was 29. His first season @ WVU in 2011 vs the Big LEAST was like 57 and WVU went 10-3. Bill Stewart had 3 seasons that had ranks for SOS of 47, 31, & 60 from 08-10. Dick played schedules at WVU from 01-07 that ranked 35 (toughest and 3-8 was the result), 54, 56, 65, 43, 37, & 45 in terms of SOS. Nehlens last season in 2000 when he went 7-5, the SOS was 19. BTW Donald Eugene Nehlen averaged a 7-5 season at WVU and went to the college football HOF. Hmmh I guess the SOS does matter! Its why Boise State and other MWC schools can win 10 games a year, but since the SOS typically ranks about 100 or higher, they're not getting a lot of respect. Same is true for schools that play the sisters of the poor and brothers of the blind in the other G5 conferences. Unless you're drunk or trying to just stir stuff up, you're as out there as Fufari. Try thinking. Its not hard. [/QUOTE]
