@WVUBarstool And bring back halftime open gates. People don't want to show up? I'm sure the tailgaters in the parking lot won't mind funneling in and taking seats. It's a win-win, as they get to collect on concessions.
@ih8yourteam Placing the blame on the wrong thing. The conference commissioner and presidents *chose* to add more quality teams and did it to themselves while everyone knew the rules of the game — win your conference. Now they're complaining and trying to change the rules. Unbelievable.
@SECTopTier Don't really care. Feel the same way about an NFL division and conference. Some are harder than others in any given year but doesn't guarantee you a seat the table. Win your conference and play the others. It's that simple and what most of the country actually wants.
@CFBNerds Nevermind that an N=1 in college sports is hardly the data point from which to draw the purported decisive conclusion about TT, I'm glad a team like that made it in because it settled the question. That's all that matters here.
@CFBNerds Every year we drift further and further from what the general public actually wanted from the playoffs. More power to you if you enjoy watching rematches at the expense of novelty to close the chapter on the what-ifs.
@coalcountrywvu "Absurd" based on a popularity contest and ESPN hype machine, not by any actual metrics.
It's really absurd that we attempt to prognosticate who's "good" before a down of football is played, and then desperately cling to that original projection as long as possible.
@KangEerRoo - Oklahoma State is what happens when the Sooners have leftovers
- After they fired Gundy, I heard the head coach search criteria on the memo was, "Find a name more generic than John Smith"
- Can't wait to see what the football team at UNT's Stillwater campus does this year
@LucasMilik@KameronAsh2@WVUBagMan We are perennial overreactors. Zac's defense is havoc-based, which means in taking risks, we're going to give up a chunk play here and there. In the moment, it's hard not to have a meltdown and remember the game is bigger than individual plays. I'm as guilty as anyone.
@coalcountrywvu If this game doesn't resurrect the truly intimidating environment that Morgantown can be, at one time of the most dreaded venues in the nation, then nothing will. There is not a single B12 team who has experienced its full potential.
