[QUOTE="Samuel S, post: 129449170, member: 1754664"] It's not just "good for the state" or good for people in SWV who can get to Charleston more easily, it's good for WVU, and for reasons some of you throw out without a clue as to why such a game helps us more than the other patsies. Yes, we face a fired up team because it's a huge win for them when they occasionally prevail. That's good for us to play a team with exceptional motivation. It's better preparation than playing patsies taking a guarantee and hoping not to get embarrassed. Playing on a neutral court with split allegiance and a big game atmosphere more closely replicates conference tournament and NCAA games than playing other patsies on a dead neutral court or in front of a small and bored home crowd. People with half a brain would understand that. that the game might somehow benefit Marshall more (but does it when they lose, as it usually does?) does not mean it is not a better game for our program than many others we play each season. As I said, the foolish lengths people go to to justify not playing them actually helps one of the reasons why we should. Even if you are posing negative nonsense about the game, you are talking about it and betraying your interest. Is anyone dead set against playing Kennesaw State and attempting to give reasons why we should refuse to schedule it? Stupid cowards who are afraid of losing are the only people against the game. Huggins is not really against the game and we are not going to cease playing it. He just likes to put D'Antoni in his place. [/QUOTE]
