Franklin was right ...

Said wvu would run the same (crappy) offense as last year. 1 back set and GG run-pass option. Psu loaded up against the run. Blew up almost every bubble screen for negative yardage and harassed GG all night.

What happened to the TOTALLY NEW 2 back offense Neal/Chad promised? So secretive that practices were closed?

I'm so sick of NB BS. Worst OC wvu has ever had.

I just want to enjoy Mountaineer Football again

I have been watching college football the last couple of weekends.

The matchups haven’t been great but there has been plenty to watch.

The Notre Dame/Navy game in Ireland was fun. The Colorado/TCU game was as entertaining as it gets. Our new conference mate Utah putting it to the Gators was satisfying. And I’m watching Duke pressure Clemson now.

The one thing that would make it better would be having our Mountaineers relevant in the college football world.

At this stage, I’m not even looking forward to the Duquense game. I normally love the FCS games at home. The weather is good and the offense always puts up fireworks.

But it feels like nothing else matters until we get some resolution on the programs direction. If this was an NCAA Football 23 game, I would skip the Duquense game and get to Pitt as that and Texas Tech should finally give us some clarify on our future.

I don’t care who our coach is.

I just want to win. I want to be relevant. I don’t want to be laughed at by the commentators. I want to enjoy Mountaineer Football again. I want Saturdays to be fun.

Too much time on my hands....NB tune

I asked AI to develop an AI song for our coach sung to the tune of the Who's Pinball Wizard...here is the result. Quite apropos if you ask me.


AI song to Brown

Sung to the tune of Pinball Wizard

He promised us a winner,
But he gave us such a joke
His teams are soft,
They're slow,
They're always so woke

He makes excuses
He blames the refs
He's a real clown
WVU fans hate his guts
For bringing us all down

Neal Brown
Neal Brown
He's a losing wizard
He's got no skill,
He's got no flair
He's just a loser
He's just a fraud Neal Brown
Neal Brown
He's just a losing wizard

We want a coach who can win
We want a coach who's tough
We want a coach who can make us proud
We've had enough of Kneel Brown

You're not the man,
It's time to go
WVU fans are united
We're tied of eating crow

Neal Brown
Neal Brown,
He's just losing wizard
He's got no skill
He's got no flair
He's just a loser

Ante Up Folks

Vernon and others often post that WV has no NIL money to compete at high level in football. A common phrase is that we only have so many big monied supporters.” As if that as an absolute and that nothing can be done about. I say bullshit. How many people are Blue Lot members? How many people are avid fans and are willing to own up and help with NIL. What is 10,000 people commit to contribute $1,000 annually to improve the funding for NIL. 10,000 x $1,000 is $10 million. Times $2,000 is $20 million. You mean to tell me that among the fans, friends, and alumni of West Virginia University cannot come up with that kind of activism and support? I’m calling BS! I will commit to either of those amounts right now, but this will only work if organized, managed, and participation of a large number of let’s say “small monied donors.” So Vernon and Keenan, help me get it going. And if we can’t do this, we deserve exactly what we get, and the fans on this board and elsewhere are not what they say or think they are. And that is the truth of the matter!

A few quick thoughts

Going into yesterday's game I thought this team could win six games and had a shot at seven with some luck. That remains true in my mind. PSU is the best team WVU will play and the team did some good things against them at times.

WVU needs help at wide receiver and I think most of you realize I'm not much for making excuses over the last five years but I will say they worked really hard to get some quality receivers in the portal and simply struck out due to NIL deals. I'm not sure what the answer is there but there isn't a tremendous amount of talent in that room, at least not among the players that are ready to step up.

The defensive backs are still a concern. I didn't see the speed or athleticism you would want there but with several new faces, you may have guys out of place or not playing at full speed because they're afraid of making mistakes.

The offensive line got a good push up front but again struggled in the pass protection. PSU is loaded on the defensive line and that certainly contributed to the struggles.

Nicco not getting many snaps will not go over well. I'm not suggesting he's going to leave but if that doesn't change I would be looking to the portal for QBs next year. Well honestly, I would anyway.

I love Donaldon's potential but he's still learning. He'll learn more patience, like not running into his own linemen so often and waiting for the holes to develop. He's the perfect back to have along with others who can offer more speed and are more shifty.

I haven't been as high on Greene as many of but I still came away a little disappointed. It's tough to judge him when he's often running for his life and without great receivers. He missed some guys that were open and his arm just isn't what many of you want to believe.

One thing I will say about yesterday

is the atmosphere at Beaver Stadium reminded me of being at Louisville on steroids. I was expecting them to bring out some rappers to go along with their manufactured and scripted atmosphere.

I also found it amusing and laughed at some State Penn students yelling f you at us when we walked through the student end outside the stadium. they thought they could intimidate WVU fans. LOL.

The over 40 crowd didn’t seem to understand anything about hospitality. Seemed to be the typical NE douche bag.
