in Big 12 Media Poll...behind all but Texas Tech and Kansas. Of course the Mountaineers were also picked for 8th two years ago before rocketing up to 6th last year. Let's Go Mediocreers!

I say give Brown 2 more years and make a change. Just to be fair and let him get 4-5 years to show what his program can do. I’ve already formed the same opinion as you, but I’ve been wrong before. Frank Beamer was terrible for nearly 10 years before he got it going at VT

Not even close to right on this. He had two winning seasons in first six and then went 37-11 in years 7 through ten. He was 61-51-1in first ten including the difficult front six.

You know...you don't have to stay a Mountaineer fan since everything Blue and Gold upsets you.

I feel he needs 7 wins or more this year or he's done. Beamer was only terrible for the first 6 years.
