You would think that maybe they would think before they say crap like that. WVU lost a home game in which they were favored to win! But its not there fault......... I like how no mater what we do the trib and the media will slap us in the face but that’s why I love this school!!!!!!!!!

Not me, that's for sure.With all that publicity we got yesterday, I think Doug, Jim, & Co. would be willing to sacrifice a few mil for that kind of exposure.

We got more out of that win yesterday w/ publicity than that I think. We for the most part, upstaged uf-f$u, which would have only happened with us winning. Every national highlight show has done our game in the last 24 hours.

That upset did as much damage as ours (against WVU).If RUT beat cinci we'd still have an undefeated Rutgers and a 10-1 Lou (with their only loss coming to an undefeated top 5 team.Boise st is the team that really screwed us (BE).

The statement about costing the BE some $ just underscores how huge that win really was.

I like how no mater what we do the trib and the media will slap us in the face but that’s why I love this school!!!!!!!!!Holtz should have been thrown in the asylum years ago...is almost unbearable listening to his incoherent, lisp filled rambling about how notre dame and south carolina should play in the national title game every year. He and Mark May basically completely chalked WV's loss up to them just not "showing up", rather than giving us ANY credit for having an unbelievably great defensive sceme for the game. I understand it may have been a combination of the 2, but give credit where credit is due. With that said, i am so happy we got the national recognition we got yesterday.
