[QUOTE="michaelwalkerbr, post: 129521546, member: 1601483"] CoalCountry52, we are on the same page, but I set the bar just a little higher when it comes to Mountaineer potential. The 2015 could have easily been 10 - 3 (6 - 3) with a QB more effective at throwing the ball. Five turnovers by the QB cost them the OSU game and we all saw what happened against KSU. The Mountaineers will nearly always be a blue collar team but as Bobby Bowden said," You give me one great player with a bunch of good players and I will compete for the conference championship." The Mountaineers have never had this kind of quality depth. When someone of the caliber of Marc Bulger, Jeff Hostetler, Pat White, Major Harris and others I am forgetting take the helm it's going to be a battle for the Big 12. As a life long WVU fan that watched them go three years as a top ten program with White and Slayton I have to believe that. Watch the Fiesta Bowl win over Oklahoma again or the Sugar Bowl victory over Georgia in Atlanta. CoalCountry52, we can compete. Not every year, but in cycles. [/QUOTE]
