My Sweet, Sweet Mountaineers

What has happened to you? When Rich Rodriguez left, that was supposed to remove the shackles from an offense ready to explode. Bubble screens were gonna be a thing of the past and vertical passing and motion were now going to be chic.

Well, the offense is now bumbling around like they did in the 90's. Big recruits are pulling their names from West Virginia University, in fear of what people will think of them if they have their names linked to such a disaster. Pat White looks like a QB that can barely lead a team to a bowl berth. Noel Devine has been kept in check for most of the season. What a tragedy that is in itself.

Not only that, but the entire Big East is in shambles. The most notable OOC victory for the Big East is an OT win for USF over Kansas. Not that impressive, they did it on their home field in a night game. For God's sake, Pitt looks like the frontrunner for the conference. The same Pitt that lost to Bowling Green and edged Buffalo with an inspired comeback.

So what do we do now, as Mountaineers? Stop whining. Stop posting blogs like these, stating how we are the worst team ever, stop calling Coach Stew an idiot (even if he is).

Another thing, enough with the conspiracy theories. ESPN does NOT have a hidden agenda to keep the Mountaineers out of the limelight. You want to know why ESPN talks about ND, USC, and OSU more than WVU? They have the biggest fanbases and more history on their side. Get real. There are more people tuned into College Gameday to hear about those teams than there are WVU.

So while we quietly hope Bill Stewart is fired every night, keep supporting the 'Eers. Remember, 4-2 is not so bad. If the offense starts clicking, the defense is already ballin. Maybe Mullens will obtain the ability to call more than 3 plays per game and also gain the ability to use Pat White and Noel Devine effectively in the backfield. It's been known to happen in the past.

Until next time....

LET'S GO!!!
