[QUOTE="The Bell Tolls for Thee, post: 129421633, member: 1812660"] No where did I say I can't understand why folks are happy with the wins. Hell, I even said I am happy with the wins. There were a lot of critiques and criticisms being thrown around by some posters during the 4 game losing streak. Some were legit and some were overly dramatic. Now that the team is winning, some posters are gloating toward those that were throwing out those criticisms. So the question was, is it just to get a rise out of the guys who were overly pessimistic during the losing streak or are these gung-ho posts reflective of the opinion that this winning streak against TTU, Texas, and Kansas completely mitigates getting handily beat by OU, Baylor, and TCU. My point is that winning these games are great, but these are games that the Mountaineers SHOULD win. I have criticized the recent iterations of the Mountaineer football teams for collapsing late in games and looking pretty gassed before the end of the 3rd quarter. WVU has improved in that regard this season. But getting blown out more often than winning or even being competitive against the good teams in this league stands out more to me than beating a so-so team, below average team, and terrible football team (the term football team is used loosely).
