The choice was to honor him.Do you think they went fully old school (if you call 80's-90's old school) because they are honoring Nehlen? And don't forget, Nehlen basically came up with the flying WV. I find that very cool.
…. and a good choice it was. I laugh at all the back and forth about RichRod, Stew, Holgersen and Brown. Together they all take a back seat to Don Nehlen for what he did here. RichRod took us to the “next level”. Ha! Choking away a shot at a national championship game fell short of what Nehlen did. He played for the outright title in 88 and a share in 93. Most of the posters here weren’t even born back then. The football program we all see today is all based on one man, Dandy Don.The choice was to honor him.
