It's a 12 game regular season -- sorry for the typo haha. But my point is that there is absolutely no way we can know what type of product is going to be put on the field until September. These Big 12 writers are idiots. If we listened to them we'd win 6 games every year. All predictions are baseless, yet people are in here taking it personally when someone disagrees with them. I find it funny, but I thought it was worth mentioning that the jag in here telling people theyre stupid for being optimistic has nothing more to go on for his "doom and gloom" mentality.

Dude I'm a Blue Lot member ya goof. I don't ignore anyone. Not one ignore since 2002. I'm still curious if you're ever gonna post Xs & Os. AOr opinions about things other than me. I mean it's ok but seriously all you do is act like a wannabe moderator. You and Michael need to get a hotel room. Your love affair makes everyone uncomfortable.
Question for you. Are you that literal and goofy that you take everything I post seriously? You didn't find the MVP post amusing? Dude I got 4 privates laughing about it.
Miami beat wvu because they were a better team from a better conference. Wvu was picked to finish 6th in the recent big 12 media days which is not surprising considering we return the fewest number of starters than any team in the conference. All the difficult games except one are either neutral site or away games. Wvu hasn't beaten a ranked team in almost 3 years and hasn't beaten a team that finished ranked in the top 25 on the road since 2012. The days of 7-5 and crappy bowl games will return in 2018.
Ps its not like the Russel athletic bowl is great
Miami didn't beat anyone last year. They lost to UNC, VT, and ND. Also lost to FSU and didn't play Clemson or Louisville, so there goes any validity of your conference comparison. WVU's preseason ranking means nothing to me.. they were picked 5th last season and are always dogged in basketball preseasons too. I never said we were better, but to say "Miami was a much better team and they beat us mainly because they had better players." Is something I don't agree with. I still contend coaching prep and in game adjustments were the difference makers. Also the fact that we had Skyler Howard touching the ball every play
The fact they didn't beat anyone of significance shows you how weak the big 12 is. If Miami played in the Big 12 they would have challenged for the conference title. Richt isn't the best coach in the world just ask Georgia fans but he is better than the idiot wvu has as coach. Miami has better players than wvu.
Miami lost to Duke (yes they have a football program too). WVU's loss to Miami has no more bearing on player talent than Miamis loss to Duke does. Saying we suck and will continue to suck because we lost to them in a game played in their home state just doesn't make sense to me.
Wvu barely beat a weak Texas team, They barley beat Baylor and squeaked out wins against K state and Byu none which were top 25 teams. The Miami game was an indictment on the wvu football program. The 2016 wvu win total was over inflated and Miami proved it. The fact they couldn't beat duke but were able to curb stomp wvu should tell you something. Giving a lame excuse that the game was played in Florida is bogus. When wvu was actually relevant in the days of 2005-2007 they had no problem going down to the Georgia dome and beating an sec champion. wvu would have been 7-5 at best playing in the acc last year.
Fluffer holgorsens disciples will always have trouble explaining the Miami loss. It was a direct indictment on the current state of wvu football. For years they have told us that wvu's woes were attributed to playing superior big 12 opponents. Miami blew that argument up and Miami hasn't been relevant since they were a regular on our schedule. The disciples have told us how much better the wvu program is today. but the only thing we have to show is a 1 point win against a 6-6 pac 12 team in a bowl sponsored by a low budget motel chain. Im not sure how that equates to the days of 2005-2007.
Except Miami didn't lose to Duke, the Hurricanes beat the Blue Devils 40-21. Furthermore...if Miami didn't beat anyone last year, how is it that they managed to defeat more FBS opponents who finished with winning records than WVU did--including us?
In an earlier post I wrote down their 4 losses, but then got them mixed up i a later post. They didn't lose to duke, but they did get stomped by VT.
Here is Miami's schedule from last season. You're telling me that WVU that Miami beating these teams proves that they are a superior program today? No way we don't win at least 8, Id say 9. And yes, FSU would beat us by 30.....
