[QUOTE="The Bell Tolls for Thee, post: 132221548, member: 1812660"] So it is impressive that this team is the first team to beat Oklahoma in conference play even though by your own admission it is likely all the prior WVU teams would have also won had they played the 2022 Sooners? Based upon your own statement I think we can agree that the reason WVU finally beat the Sooners in conference play this year is because the Sooners have fallen far from their usual quality as opposed to WVU rising to meet the challenge previous OU teams posed. I mean WVU didn't rise at all, they fell and yet the Sooners had to fell even further to be in the same ballpark as WVU this year. Sounds like that is more a negative indictment on Oklahoma than it is a positive one for WVU. It is a significant win in terms of program history, but it isn't an impressive win in terms of individual team performance. Conversely to say how WVU beating VT in 2003 was not significant in terms of program history, but certainly was in terms of individual team performance. [/QUOTE]
