Glad RichRod is gone.
Pat White for Heisman.
Noel Devine for god.

Yea I'd be glad to get rid of the guy that got my program out of obscurity too.

WVU fans are bitter.

Yeah I don't understand how you can say you are glad the best coach in school history is gone. He was the man there and brought winning tradition into Morgantown.

He pulled a dick move but you can't honestly say you are glad he is gone, can you?

I don't think the offense will miss a beat with the loss of Slaton. Devine is sick fast. Hopefully he can take the poundings all year.

As an Auburn fan I can't wait to go up there and play WVU. Maybe best thursday night matchup in history of ESPN thurs night games.

I say WVU will go 8-4 losing to Auburn, Pitt, USF and Colorado. Just my picks, I hope they do well post-Rodriguez though, he did them dirty but with coaches these days that is the norm (Bobby Petrino and Nick Saban just to name a couple)

They basically have one game (Auburn) that they probably won't be favored to win. Anything less than 10-2 would be a disappointment with this schedule. Obv @ Pitt will be tough for them. I still can't believe they lost to Pitt last year.

Stop being a fag; Rich Rodriguez is the only reason you even have a somewhat notable team.

Deal.

I know he's a great coach, but it's nice to see we have a guy in there that wants to be there.


No way WVU goes 8-4... sorry that's just not happening 2 losses maximum.


Expect to see the WVU offense better than ever this year.


I think if WVU can get past Auburn they have a great shot at the title game.


I expect a Big East Championship and BCS Bowl this year.

Who is Auburn's new Def cord...One Paul Rhodes from Pitt last yr. I think he was hired just for this one game. Hopefully he can hadle the SEC.

LMFAO AT PITT!!!!!!!!! LOLOLLOLOLOLOL

DAVE WANNSTEDT IS THE WORST COACH IN FOOTBALL HISTORY

lol at Michigan lolololol.

Best start to college football season, ever.

Maybe you missed it, but a lot of people had Utah picked to win that game. It's not exactly a major upset when Utah has a great shot at being a BCS team this year.

It's still Michigan losing to Utah. It's not App St. over Michigan, but it is still an upset.

People (specifically Kirk Herbstreit) had Bowling Green picked to beat Pitt. Does that take anything away from it? No.

Oh, and it is mainly Rich Rod losing that makes it so sweet.

Yea, one team has a legit shot at the BCS this year while the other is going through a complete offensive overhaul where its top QB/RB/2 WR's and Lineman are now playing sundays. If anyone was shocked at Utah beating Michigan they aren't following college football at all. I'm happy they played well enough to have a shot at tying it in the 4th.

Making excuses ftw.

ITS DICKROD assh0le get it right

Its not an excuse, its the truth. If you can't tell the difference then your an idiot. No Michigan fans expect us to be a top 10-15 team this year, unless they are as unreasonablely retarded as WVU fans who are still crying about RR leaving.

The UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN is not supposed to lose to THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH. Period. I don't care if it is the first game of the year or the last.

Obviously Michigan thought it would be an easy game/win for the program or else they wouldn't schedule them to open up their season with, especially at the Big House.

I hate Michigan but you're just flat out wrong. Sorry.

Please, oh-knower-of-all, explain to me then. ENLIGHTEN ME.

Why would a D-1 POWERHOUSE schedule a team they don't think they can beat (and easily, mind you) to begin the season, aside from it being a rivalry, etc.?

Absoutely correct, you don't just schedule someone like that especially when Utah is across the US. MICHIGAN IS A JOKE

You're probably right.

I'm sure when they scheduled Utah 6 years ago, they had a real good idea they'd have a first year coach completely revamping the offense with a shit ton of players who've never played his system, too.

Remember to post when you're broke.

Is King1305 leveling?

Or is he that stupid?

yeah dude 8 years ago when they scheduled this game they were a powerhouse!!! You are a god damn IDIOT if you really think this game was that big of an upset at this point. Seriously all you fools who think SEC fans are idiots just look at this crap.....YOU FOOLS ARE ARGUING OVER MEDIOCRE FOOTBALL.....well done

How bout those Pirates?

LOL.

I agree

I concur. Hideous game.

Good thing the Big East is very weak this year.

Yeah that was terrible, 2008 WVU=2007 Louisville, but big east is a lot weaker so we will still finish 2nd or 3rd in the conference.

sounds about right.

Oh...

I guess they needed to get TO them first, eh?


Oops.

you realize pitt is still terrible

Um, last time I checked WVU fans (myself included) can't really talk much shit on Pitt football...13-9, ya know?

Now, Dave Wannstedt, he's still a terrible coach. But Pitt football owns bragging rights at the moment.

I'm just curious where, on the embarassment scale, does getting physically dominated in every last phase of the game by East Carolina fall into the above equation?

And why would a football powerhouse like West Virginia schedule a team like East Carolina schedule them if they didn't think they could beat them..?



The WVU team that played ECU on Saturday would be lucky to finish 6th in the Big Ten. Not to say they won't get better, but they were absolutely atrocious.

Coach Stewart might be the worst coach in Div.I football, excepting Phillip "Huh huh?" Fullmer. He was ****ing brutal against ECU.

That ECU team is very, very talented.

The way they controlled the line of scrimmage was un-fucking-real. Absolutely dominant on both sides of the ball. If not for a few penalties, it would've been an absolute massacre, score-wise.

Funny you remember that. It's like it cost your team a chance at a national championship or something. Pitt football fans certainly don't have much to brag about...but this is pretty good.

You realize 13 > 9, right?

btw, I hate WV way more than I like Pitt.





Soooo, how's Pittsnogle and Gansey's pro careers going?

The same as Julius Page and Carl Krauser...

We will hopefully be able to add Aaron Gray to that list in a couple of years to that last. He's Garbage.

Someone should just start a Backyard Brawl Trash talking thread.

Why is this so hard to understand?

I think Fryer and I have pretty much the same view. I woulda enjoyed last years 13-9 victory just about as much if Syracuse or someone like that beat WVU.

Football wise my loyalties go as follows...

1. Penn State
2. Whoever plays WVU
3. Pitt
4. Whoever plays Ohio State
5. Whoever plays Michigan




6. Virginia...since I currently live here.

I'm starting to fall into that same mode after all this nonsense with Rich Rodriguez and the knuckleheads on this board.

1. Iowa
2. Florida State
3. Anyone who plays WVU
4. Anyone who plays Iowa State.

I'm not sure how I feel about Iowa pretty much wearing steeler jerseys.

Hayden Fry made it pretty clear that was the look he wanted to model his unis after when he started back in '78. I personally dislike the yellow on the sleeves and wish it was all black. They did go through a period where they had yellow stripes across the shoulders pads that were supposed to resemble feathers that I'm glad they got rid of, but, for the most part, they've been pretty closely modeled after the Steelers unis for the past 30 years.

1) Team I have bet on
2) Team I'd like to bet against next week
3) Michigan
4) Big 10 team
5) Team playing SEC team

I can relate...

1. Purdue (don't waste your time here, I'm used to them losing.)
2. Whoever is playing ND
3. Whoever is playing Penn State
4. Whoever is playing WVU
5. Whoever is playing Ohio State
6. Whoever is playing Indiana U.
