I think it was 2001 we were more than that (maybe 35) vs. Miami. I am not 100% sure about the year.Have we ever been 33.5 point underdogs?
I think so. Just some growing pains..Program is headed in the right direction.
Only line worth remembering (my mistake, meant forgetting) is the 3 or 4 TDs we were favored over Pitt.I think so. Just some growing pains..
Metro News reports this:
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Bookies are expecting a bloodbath when West Virginia visits Oklahoma this week.
Circa Sports, the first sportsbook to set a line for the game, is favoring the Sooners by 33.5 points.
It is the second-biggest point spread that West Virginia has ever faced as an underdog.

HOW DID WE LET DANA LEAVE?
Even on the ignore feature, I still know when Buckaineer is posting. All of his posts are based upon the following suppositions:
1. It is an apples to apples comparison between Brown's first season at WVU and Dana's 8th season.
2. Because WVU "competed" for the big 12 last year, it should do so again this year with a competent coach. The graduation attrition is irrelevant.
3. All the players that left WVU after last season were due to Brown. Reported academic fraud or bad attitudes is irrelevant.
4. Any poster currently pointing out Dana's flaws and/or advocating that Brown be given time to show what he can do as head coach was denigrating Dana from his first day here and has always maintained that "any other coach could step right in and be better"
5. Dana was a great coach at WVU despite his atrocious 3rd season of 4-8 with his recruited roster and, referencing #4, it was wrong for anyone to be critical of his head coaching. Yet Brown having an atrocious first season without any of his own recruits is completely fair game.
There is no way to have a meaningful or intelligent conversation with anyone that has that much lack of self awareness. It's like arguing with someone whose baseline premise is water isn't wet or fire doesn't burn.
He also coached in more games than anyone but one coach and won more games than all but one coach. He also took over a program that couldn't win a G5 conference and won it his first season plus a BCS bowl.Dana lost more games at WVU then any other coach than one.
Holgs seemed mediocre to meHe also coached in more games than anyone but one coach and won more games than all but one coach. He also took over a program that couldn't win a G5 conference and won it his first season plus a BCS bowl.
Dana is 10 times the coach, game planner and play caller as Brown.
Dana was a great coach at WVU
Well Wvu won the Big East in 2005 and 2007 and finished in the top 10. something Dana never did. Brown hired koenning Dana hired Joe deforest. You also stated in an earlier post that winning in The sunbelt is different than winning in the Big 12. That would explain why Dana struggled beating the Big boys in the Big 12. He can't even Beat them in the American conference when he had a dark horse Heisman QB.He also coached in more games than anyone but one coach and won more games than all but one coach.

WVU won the Big East the only year he coached in the Big East- 2011, won 10 games, something that has seldom happened at WVU, and also beat Clemson in historic fashion that year.
To claim otherwise brings into question who you actually root for.
We were Big East Champs in 1993, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2010 and 2011.
WVU has 9, 10-win seasons since 1946, 73 seasons (since WVU started consistently playing 10 or more games in a season).
And TWO of the ten win seasons and one of the Big East chamionships belong to Coach Holgorsen.
Not with his work ethic.And TWO of the ten win seasons and one of the Big East chamionships belong to Coach Holgorsen.
2 of 9 is over 22% of the 10 win seasons at WVU.
1 of 7 Big East championships is nearly 15% of all Big East championships-- had Holgorsen coached more than one season in the Big East he likely would have won many more, probably every season.
It is exceedingly apparent who you root for: Whoever is playing WVU, to bolster your argument that DH is a better coach than NB. Pretty pathetic for somebody that claims to be a WVU fan.WVU won the Big East the only year he coached in the Big East- 2011, won 10 games, something that has seldom happened at WVU, and also beat Clemson in historic fashion that year.

Have we ever been 33.5 point underdogs?
I don’t remember Dana and “some fans” thanking and praising Coach Stew for all the talented players that won that conference title and historic bowl game.WVU won the Big East the only year he coached in the Big East- 2011, won 10 games, something that has seldom happened at WVU, and also beat Clemson in historic fashion that year.

??Hmm . . . well, I suppose the Mountaineers could lose to Oklahoma on Saturday?

WVU was actually in a 3 way tie for first in 2011. He didn't win it out right. He needed tie breakers. Same as Bill Stewart in 2010. Stewart just didn't win the tie breaker.
1 West Virginia 5-2 (lost Louisville, beat Cincinnati)
2 Louisville 5-2 (lost Cincinnati beat WVU)
3 Cincinnati 5-2 (lost to WVU beat Louisville)
4 Rutgers 4-3
5 Pitt 4-3
6 Connecticut (4-3)
7 USF 1-6
8 Syracuse 1-6
I believe the next tiebreaker was highest ranked which WVU was 18th Cincinnati was 25th I think. Louisville not ranked. They won 10 games due to record setting bowl win.
Fraud Rod had 3 11 win seasons
Nehlen had 2 11 win seasons
Look, Glad Dana was here at WVU. He was a decent HC won some games but tended to flame out at the end. Dana had 4 teams that should have won the Big 12 but he failed to finish the season on a high note.
Now to Brown the guy you hate. So you want him fired after 6 games and 3-3 record. You want WVU to fall even further by dumping a coach in mid season. Interesting concept.
Hate retaliation reply from Bucky in 5,4,3...
