30-28 in the Big 12-2=10. (24-27 against anyone not Kansas University lol.) Wow, what outstanding progress. Now if he gets eight more seasons to get his system into place who knows...might move to three or even four wins over .500!

What record should they have?
We're a state of 1.8 million with no major cities. Never going to happen here. Never!30-28 in the Big 12-2=10. (24-27 against anyone not Kansas University lol.) Wow, what outstanding progress.

Better than that ALLEN. I’ve supported the coach but I’m about ready to turn the page as well. 2 games over .500 in this league is a joke. Looks like the best team in Big12 got handled by God awful Maryland. This may be yet another year of no playoffs. WVU should be better in this league. Only a homer would argue differently. My main concern is what kind of coach would come to Morgantown. It’s not a top 30 job so WVU could do worse than current coach.

What improvement should we see? lol
The sad thing is we could have gotten the Iowa State coach he was right in our back yard. urban meyer wanted to hire him to run his offense. He was 32 at the time he took the Toledo job instead.You want better than .500, you need coaching experience off the get go. True you might not keep them forever but this is the danger of the beast. I'm tired of being set up for a great season then you get dump on when you go get drinks at the bar while she sneaks away.
There must have been lots of sunshine in Lincoln Nebraska when Osboure was there.LOL. What does the size of WV's population have to do with the effectiveness of the football team...which is recruited from everywhere? Good grief...the length some will go to do defend the undefendable. Might as well say, we can't do any better because Morgantown isn't a big enough town...let alone city.
How good is Rhode island, Maine, Massachusetts, Wyoming? Name any state our size that's as good or better than us? Go ahead.LOL.

Lincoln Nebraska is 9x the size of Morgantown! 280,000 people. And if you people don't think kids want to go to big cities instead of small boring ones, you're nuts.There must have been lots of sunshine in Lincoln Nebraska when Osboure was there.
Also Texas has enough recruits in it's own state to field a team. West Virginia is lucky to have 3!LOL.

You cant be that stupid that you think it doesn't! Do you think it's easier to get a kid that grew up in your state and rooted for you their whole life or try to convince a kid that grew up in Florida to come to a school where the temperature gets to -15. It's not rocket science there Jimmy!Look I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt. You can't be dumb enough to equate state population with football success. Really. About as intelligent as the argument saying that if DH were paid more then he would produce more wins on the field.
Oh and great job avoiding naming a school the population of West Virginia that's done as well as us.Look I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt.

Again Lincoln Nebraska 280,000West Virginia = 1.8 million
Nebraska = 1.9 million
They have 5 NCs.
And don't get me wrong, I like Dana personally but I've questioned a lot of things he's done. I'm not sure or even close to thinking he's the answer but don't get it twisted and think it's easy to win here. We've never been great. Never.West Virginia = 1.8 million
Nebraska = 1.9 million
They have 5 NCs.
Might as well scrap the program then. If we can't even do better than average in one of the weakest power 5 conferences. Having a losing record to anyone besides OU and Texas in this conference is ridiculous.
Again Lincoln Nebraska 280,000
Morgantown WV 30,000
Name any state our size that's as good or better than us? Go ahead.
That was my WHOLE POINT AND ORIGINAL ARGUMENT! Size of state and small town. You think you're going to get some inner city kid to come to Morgantown on a regular? Why do you think Huggins doesn't get the same recruits he had at Cincinnati?Your statement had nothing to do with the size of towns.
But, if you want to use that argument, I’ll go there. Auburn, Alabama has a population of 63,000. It is in the middle of nowhere.
We have played for two NCs and we have had strings in the top 25 rankings. We are 14th in most program wins. The size of the state shouldn’t hold us back as it has not held Nebraska back. Can we be an Alabama? Certainly not. But we can and should be a consistent top 15 program in the country. We have utilized the revenue from joining the Big XII to make significant improvements in our facilities. We can afford to pay a coaching staff in the top 15 salary range.
I’m not on the fire Dana bandwagon just yet. He does need to get rid of Spavital. He is a problem. He’s never been successful.
Ok if you want to use your argument we should be just as good as Alabama. What it holding us back?Your statement had nothing to do with the size of towns.

Tuscaloosa, Auburn, Athens, Clemson, Norman, Blacksburg, South Bend, Eugene, Gainesville, Columbia, State College, Lansing, Ann Arbor, Chapel Hill, Knoxville, etc. These nuts seem to be doing ok.Lincoln Nebraska is 9x the size of Morgantown! 280,000 people. And if you people don't think kids want to go to big cities instead of small boring ones, you're nuts.

Sure do considering they are 20 times bigger than our stateTuscaloosa, Auburn, Athens, Clemson, Norman, Blacksburg, South Bend, Eugene, Gainesville, Columbia, State College, Lansing, Ann Arbor, Chapel Hill, Knoxville, etc. These nuts seem to be doing ok.

I believe you were talking towns. However, to further accentuate my point, and your glaring ignorance, None of the states housing these college towns are 20 times larger than WV in population. Only FL is even close. Calm down dude. No need for hyperbole here.Sure do considering they are 20 times bigger than our state
Lincoln Nebraska is in the middle of nowhere. How many D1 athletics does the state of Nebraska produce?Lincoln Nebraska is 9x the size of Morgantown! 280,000 people. And if you people don't think kids want to go to big cities instead of small boring ones, you're nuts.
I'm guessing that from the uninformed, juvenile, argument you are spewing that there are a few things at work for you: 1. Never played a sport beyond last year's t-ball team; 2. don't understand recruiting; 3. never went to a college or university anywhere, let alone WVU; 4. equate your understanding of college football to what you have seen at a high school junior varsity game; 5. have never been outside the town limits of whatever population 500 town you come from; 6. and spend a lot of time on Google trying to "edumacate youseself.". Isn't that about right? lol
They produced 2 blue chippers from 2013-17 a period in which they sucked. West Virginia produced ZERO in that same period.Lincoln Nebraska is in the middle of nowhere. How many D1 athletics does the state of Nebraska produce?
What do you call this fool?They produced 2 blue chippers from 2013-17 a period in which they sucked. West Virginia produced ZERO in that same period.
Why don't you take the time and look at the starting roster of Nebraska's national championship teams. The states of Florida and Texas had a big say in it.They produced 2 blue chippers from 2013-17 a period in which they sucked. West Virginia produced ZERO in that same period.
Alabama produced 58 blue chips from 13-17Tuscaloosa, Auburn, Athens, Clemson, Norman, Blacksburg, South Bend, Eugene, Gainesville, Columbia, State College, Lansing, Ann Arbor, Chapel Hill, Knoxville, etc. These nuts seem to be doing ok.
Once again you evade what you said. First it was towns,but that turned into states, which you turned into blue chips. If you had started with blue chips, that would haveAlabama produced 58 blue chips from 13-17

You’re telling me that at age 15 I watched us play for a national championship in 1988, but will never see it again?We're a state of 1.8 million with no major cities. Never going to happen here. Never!
