107 Years of Mountaineer Football

[WVUALLEN]

Only 1 season WVU ever lost 9 games.

That was...

1978 (2-9) - Frank Cignetti

 

[Bronco-eer]

So it's never happened?

 

[sg44gold]

So ... this WILL be a history making year.

 

[older gold]

We have never lost more than 9 games and that only happened 1 time.

1978 (2-9) - Frank Cignetti

Our 1960 team went 0-8-2.

Our 1960 team went 0-8-2.

that's 8 losses not 9 or 10.

Why not. Basketball did it this past season.

 

[older gold]

You're kidding.

 

[WVUALLEN]

No..unless you can find a year that we did.

 

[WVUALLEN]

You're kidding.

No I'm serious...see the 8 in the L column.

 

[Bronco-eer]

The only reason I asked is because your original post said only one time have were lost more than 9.

My freshman year 1969 0-8-2. No wins!!! At least Frank had two.

 

[Nova Mountaineer]

that's 8 losses not 9 or 10.

But there were no wins the ties Richmond 6-6 and Boston University 7-7 both at home.

that's 8 losses not 9 or 10.

Worse season ever no wins in ten games trumps anything that can happen now in a 12 game season. I was selling Coca cola in the stands that year (so I could get into the games) and crazy thing is the students still came out for that team. The Richmond tie was ugly plus ten. Went down on the field with couple other high school freshmen friends after the game and threw ball around...a WVU student told us we should have been playing...and we were just kids. He might have been right.

Only 1 season WVU ever lost 9 games.

That was...

1978 (2-9) - Frank Cignetti

with a 12 game schedule

The semantics of 9 losses being the most as opposed to a season with zero wins is too confusing for many.

1978 win percentage: .222
1960 win percentage: .000

So 1960 is the worst year ever of Mountaineer football. Zero wins in 10 games.

Never said anything about worst season ever.

Only 1 season WVU ever lost 9 games.

Rather be 2-9 than 0-8-2 with a tie with Richmond as the highlight lol.

 

[Rootmaster]

Of course this thread discussion might be moot if we beat Kansas and go 2-10.

 

[Cuyahoga Falls Eers]

that's 8 losses not 9 or 10.

That's also winless. The 2019 team already has a victory, to James Madison's shame.

But could be 1-11 or 2-10 which both would mean most losses ever by a WVU team.
