"After a comprehensive evaluation of our football program, I informed Mike Houston this morning that we are making a change in leadership," said Gilbert. "This was a very difficult decision. Mike has led our program the last five plus seasons with tremendous class and has positively impacted so many student-athletes. After earning back-to-back bowl invitations, we looked poised for continued success. Unfortunately, we have not seen the results we all want, and a change is needed to move the program forward. We have high expectations and those are not changing.”

That was the comment of my nephew.

He’s a Chillicothe, Ohio kid. I started taking him to games when he was in junior high school.

He is like most Ohio kids in that he’s a 0$U fan. But he’s been to enough games at both WVU and 0$U to know that the atmosphere in Morgantown is far superior to that in Columbus.

He played at an Ohio athletic conference college until he messed up his shoulder. Getting married, having kids, and moving to the Cleveland area prevented him from getting the chance to attend a game with me.

As we sat there waiting for kickoff last night he turned to me and said, “this is a special place.”

We left with about 4 minutes to go. We both had enough.

I know Nicco hasn’t practiced/repped as much as a starter BUT does anyone think things look BETTER for next year?

It’s hard to believe but I think we take another step down next year! 🤦🏻‍♂️

We have to move in a different direction.

Two picks, 4.5 yards per pass play, and a crapola QBR ain't gonna get it done when the other guy is rocking 10 yards per attempt, no picks, and almost a 100 QBR.

at home? What a disgrace.

If you’re not convinced we need a new a coach after thumping I don’t know what to tell you!!

We finish 8-4 beating a bunch of trash and people will feel vindicated.

I’m having a good time!!

To put Iowa State in the lead 38-35

Did that dude pocket everyone's money?

They just sang it in London at the Patriots/Jags game.

I’ve noticed

1. Many many many missed tackles
2. Wide receivers with the drops - maybe because they don’t get contact during the week?

Am I full of it or do my assumptions have merit?

.We all love him…right?

UGA qb throws for 175 and 0/3 yet they beat #1 by 15

Guess good coaches find ways to win…

To no ones' surprise, our Mountaineers fell flat on a big stage, and a big game. Not an opportunity for a signature win, but a big important game. I watched the game completely sober, and I just don't know what our identity is, nor does the team, from all indications. Another opportunity for a big game this week.

Is that too harsh?

Quote I saw online last week.

“There is no edge. There is no urgency. There is no innovation. There is no killer instinct. There is no mental toughness. There is no calm in the chaos. There is no pursuit of excellence.

They are soft. They are complacent. They lack discipline. They are overwhelmed in adversity. They succumb to physicality. They make excuses. They accept defeat.”

--West Virginia head coach Neal Brown said that they were a beat up locker room. They had a lot of injuries and didn't play well. Kansas State is the best team in the league.

--Brown said it was a rash of head injuries with four of them in total.

--Defensively they did some good things and didn't play a lot of snaps in the first half. The interception on offense by Greene the first one was a bad pass. But he felt they showed some real character the next two drives.

--Brown isn't sure when Garrett Greene got hurt during that drive when he missed the fourth down throw. Even if they tie it up he isn't sure if they had enough gas in the tank in the second half.

--The first explosive play they were in quarters coverage and they just got ran by. On the angle route to Giddens, it was a good play versus that coverage and they executed it well but they should have been able to get it down.

--Brown knew that Wyatt Milum was out after he didn't play that last drive but he didn't know Jahiem White and Garrett Greene would be out until they got in the locker room.

--Kansas State is first in the conference in rush defense and it was one and a half to two but they had a good play they just didn't execute the fourth down. He doesn't want to be too hard on the players because he isn't sure when the injury to Greene happened.

--Kansas State were completing passes at four or five yards and turned it into chunks of yards as the players weren't getting to their landmarks.

--West Virginia wasn't really productive when Nicco Marchiol came in but it wasn't all on him. It's tough to say but they weren't really productive in the second half.

--West Virginia has to put this game to rest. The Mountaineers haven't played as well both both Iowa State and Kansas State did a lot of the same things. Brown said they have really good guys in the locker room and they're disappointed. They need to get well and give themselves a chance and practice smart this week to get well to try to put together a game.

--It's next man up. They don't spend a lot of time talking about the guys that aren't going to play.

--Brown said that the score is the score and they soundly beat them in the second half. But he isn't trying to defend the score. But they're pretty beat up and the team is severely down but he doesn't believe they'll have an issue getting them up to play. They got beat by a better team right now. They've played a tough schedule and are showing the signs of that. They've had a lot of physical games and it's tough. He's really careful to criticize the players because this is a tough game.
