GAME THREAD West Virginia football at Texas Tech
- Thread starter Keenan Cummings
- Start date
You know what. **** you Allen you simplistic ******* twit. You are like a petulant child that uses splitting as a technique like children. You place people either all on one side or the other. Black and white without variation. You say all problems are player **** ups and completely separate from coaching. Then when anyone dares to say that coaching at least bears some responsibility for the outcome on the field you childishly reduce their statement into a "fire Brown" mentality. It is really old and god damn infantile, you mental midget.
ehh you can argue that Miami and BC had their 2 best years during Rich Rods time in the BE, plus they were competitive all through the time until they left. Rich Rod had a Pitt and Syracuse and a Louisville during their competitive years in the BE as well. Other than that, it wasn’t as competitive top to bottom except in 1993.
Had to refrain from from posting yesterday to let the emotion settle down. With a few games under our belt now, I feel there are some common themes that could be addressed.
Obviously, our receivers need some help on multiple fronts. First, they seem to be physically weak. Everybody is going to drop balls now and then. Then, there is our receivers. Ours get too many knocked away from them as they catch it. They have it seemingly secured only to fall to the ground with the slightest contact. Second, there is almost no YAC. They catch it, they go down there.
Another problem is there is no QB run game to go with Leddie Brown. If you're going to run the read-option, the QB must keep it every now and again. Otherwise, you're playing 10 on 11. Now, everybody crashes on Leddie and doesn't respect the option at all. Why should they? The QB has kept it twice all year and both of those were in plus territory/goal line situations. You're better off putting another blocker in there and direct snap to Leddie if there is no QB option out of it.
Finally, we have to address the inconsistent QB play. This is on multiple fronts. Yes, there is some bad receiver play in there also. Yet, what I see is for one Doege stares down his primary receiver from the start and eyeballs him the whole way. Another problem is he seems to throw to an area versus to a player. Our receivers mostly have to wait on the ball to get to them instead of him throwing them open. Third, he has the happy feet when in the pocket instead of standing tall. He throws off his back foot way too much. So, he misses on throws he should make. In other words, he misses the gimmes. Last, he needs to tuck it and try to get something positive to put the team in better position in 2nd and 3rd downs. When we're in 3rd and long, we're largely toast.
Well, that's just a few problems...

Miami was still consistently good in the 90's and BC wasn't that much better in 01 and 02 than the 90's. Syracuse was way better in the 90's than RR's days. Like I said, RR time in the BE was no slouch especially that 2 year period when UL, USF, and Rutgers were at their peaks. However, I still think that Miami monster in the 90's and the rest of the competition was a slightly bigger hurdle to a conference championship than what RR faced. Clearly Stewart and Holgorsen faced the weakest iteration of the BE.
Might as well do it now as there is no win insight. But if the receivers are dropping balls then a new QB ain't helping and you still don't have a guy who can complete a pass past 20 yards.
Buzz...you are a moron at times. Comment meaning was team plays...at times...like the worst team in the conference. Get out of the basement some time...have a real conversation and...understand context for God 's sake.
This team has problems and they are great, to paraphase a Chuck Noll quote. But the really sad thing is this program has not established any kind of identity under HCNB.
Actually I blame the fake BLM and SJW movements in ripping the fabric of what he was trying to build. The representing the hard working people of WV mantra is now dead...and few give a crap about the games.
Man, give it up. PLEASE. You act like WVU was the ONLY NCAA team that has stickers or did a video or anything like that. Clemson probably was more outspoken than anyone. Don't think it affected them in a RED STATE!
As soon as you throw away your black pajamas and mask...burn your BurnLootMurder signs...shred your rainbow flags and f Trump posters...agree to increase police funding...and stand for the anthem. Until then...stfu.
