[QUOTE="xWVU2010x, post: 129491173, member: 1467482"] I dont think there is enough people willing to do something about it to force an annual home and home on both sides. Pitt in particular is hardly a passionate fanbase, doubtful their boosters get all riled up and force the AD to talk to WVU about scheduling it, especially when Pitt fans generally have a superiority complex when it comes to us. WVU probably has more people big enough that care about playing the game but no way the boosters unite on this issue and try and strong arm the AD into making it happen. Like I said, with only 3 OOC games in this era of WVU football, each slate is very important. One spot is always going to go to the FCS/low level MAC team, another seems to go to a regional opponent, Maryland through next year and soon after we start playing VT, and after VT we have a 4 game series with Pitt, the last slate goes to a big time national opponent if we can secure it, or another low level team depending on if we need the home game in that given year. Its possible we extend the Pitt deal, but that would only happen after we play them twice and whoever the ADs are then both mutually agree it is beneficial to keep it going. [/QUOTE]
