7 wins in the Big 12 is the equivalent of 9 in the New Big East...

[31Herd55]

Hey, Dolemite...
Now calling you out on lying
Now calling you out on the racist
Now calling you out on the piece of white trash
Now calling you out on the meth remark

But most of all, still calling you out on your senseless babble about the Ears being 7-2 in the Big 12

 

[31Herd55]

Admit it, Dolemite...7-2 in the Big 12 is just DELUSIONAL.

 

[dolemitebmf]

Very classy response there, Dolemite. Just who do you make proud that you give that kind of a reply to someone. If that response makes Yo Momma proud, then YOU might be that racist piece of white trash. Or, do you represent those delusional Ears that think you can have a 7-2 record in conference.

Still calling you out on when you will get that 7-2 record "in the Big 12". So go ahead and Man-up that I was right all along.

You obviously can't count to eight. With eight total teams, how many possible conference wins could WVU have gotten? Is it nine? Let that Marshall education shine as brightly as your meth mouth... As you are an obvious troll, you are now on ignore.

Looks like I struck a nerve, didn't I?

 

[countryroads89]

Good point, 89, on last year's 5 almost 7 wins in conference. BTW like the white helmet...from Peach Bowl in Atlanta ???

And we should have beat Texas last year. Five could have very easily been 8.

 

[43rd Parallel]

Admit it, Dolemite...7-2 in the Big 12 is just DELUSIONAL.

You might want to think about the original post -- are seven wins in the Big 12 equivalent to nine in the New Big East?

He's obviously talking about total wins -- conference and non-conference -- because it would have been hard to squeeze nine wins out of a seven-game league schedule.

Exactly. He can't possibly be dumb enough to not understand that. He is just doing some obvious trolling. Probably not even a Marshall fan.

 

[31Herd55]

That Dolemite can't keep from sticking his foot deep into his mouth. Claims to be a Big Time Ears fan and (get this) said in his last reply to me that there are ONLY 8 teams in the Big 12. WOW !!! Doesn't even know how many teams in the Ears' conference. I grant you that it is an oddity that a conference named The Big 12 only has 10 teams. But, that's not nearly as weird as a Mountaineer fan not knowing how many teams are in your conference. Then the REAL KICKER is that he slams MY Marshall education for not being able to count to 8.

Allow me to use Dolemite's method of counting the teams of The Big 12 ( pay particularly close attention to his #8
1. WVU
2. Oklahoma
3. Oklahoma State
4. Kansas
5. Kansas State
6. Iowa State
7. Texas
8. Texas Tech
8. TCU
8. Baylor

All 10 teams, but did not exceed Dolemite's Magic # of 8...and, now I'm calling you out on naming YOUR total 8 teams of the Big 12. Don't forget my original call out of that 7-2 prediction of your's
And, no, you have not struck a nerve with me but, I have over-taxed the capacity of your last, semi-working brain cell. So, crawl back out of your hole, Man-up to your gross mistakes, and just admit that you have been TROLL-SLAPPED.

 

[31Herd55]

I'll have to take your word for the Texas game last year...I didn't get to see it. I do know you give them all they can handle at times, 89. Lots of games decided on one or two breaks along the way.

 

[31Herd55]

43rd Parallel,
7 wins in Big 12 play would amount to your 3 Cupcakes and the 4 Bottom Feeders. Has the bar been lowered to that now that you are in the Big 12?

 

[WiiWii]

...said in his last reply to me that there are ONLY 8 teams in the Big 12....

Good lord, are you this stupid? Every person on this board knows which conference he was referring to when he mentioned 8 members. His response kicked your ass and all that you had was diversionary bullsh1t. So sad.

 

[31Herd55]

And, I noticed that Dolemite came back on thread after putting me on ignore.

 

[B eer]

We could be undefeated in the Middle American Conference!

 

[31Herd55]

So, 7 total wins during a regular Big 12 season, including non-conference opponents, boils down to wins over your 3 cupcakes and 4 conference wins over the 4 Bottom Feeders... Is that where we're at for Doles 7 wins in the Big 12 ?

 

[31Herd55]

Clue to Pee Pee: The 2 conferences being discussed in this thread are The Big 12 (10 teams) and The New Big East (14 teams).

 

[31Herd55]

Correction 12 teams in New Big East

 

[BOBwva1]

Keep the money, give me wins

You say keep the money give me the wins,Then we would be back playing on a obsolete field and an out dated players room,an the likes, Just let the season play out and then just maybe all you doughters will be suprised.

 

[sammyk]

Have you seen the stadiums that SMU, ECU, Cincy, UCONN, Navy , Houston Stadiums and thay are just as nice as WVU stadium. I am not a Marshall Troll I am not making fun of WVU or anything like that, what I am saying is that WVU could go to/help make a new conference and flourish big time and win a lot more. What has hurt WVU over the past couple of years is that they do not have any geographical rivlas anymore. Plus when Rich Rod and Don N. were good they were getting the bulk of their kids from Florida, PA, NJ, MD, VA and they played teams from those areas Pitt, PSU, Miami, Rutgers, Maryland, VA Tech ect. Now they are still recruiting players from those areas but are playing teams from Iowa, Oklahoma, Texas and Kansas. Do you see the difference here, no one from Morgantown cares about Iowa, most of your student body is from PA/MD/FL/NJ/WV. Not OK/IA/KS/TX. I have said the same thing over on the Penn State board, No one in PA cares about Iowa but when PSU played WVU or Pitt or Miami or Syracuse it meant more . Yea the money is good but if you win you make money too

 

[43rd Parallel]

Correction 12 teams in New Big East

The New Big East had eight teams. You are confusing it with the American Athletic Conference.

Let me put it in Marshall terms. The Big Green played in the West Virginia Athletic Association for two decades before migrating to the Buckeye Intercollegiate Athletic Association. After a few years of independence, Marshall College signed on with the Ohio Valley Conference, then migrated to the Mid-American, which tossed them out for industrial-scale cheating.

After a few more year of independence, Marshall signed on with the Southern Conference, eventually leaving it to return to the Mid-American, which it then abandoned for Conference USA.

These were different leagues, just as the New Big East -- as it was known far and wide -- is not to be confused with the American.

 

[31Herd55]

Thanks, 43rd...I am aware of The Herd's travels through their various conferences...and even the Ears were in the Southern Conference, back in the day. Who were the 8 teams that comprised The New Big East?

 

[43rd Parallel]

West Virginia, Pitt, Syracuse, Louisville, Cincinnati, Rutgers, South Florida and UConn

 

[WarezEER]

In addition to being a lying, racist piece of white trash, you are also a perfect example of the effect of meth on a fetus. Like I said, come back once you have beaten a Top 100 team...

Where are the moderators when you need them? Warez

 

[WESTBGVA]

The step up in competition, going from the New Big East to the Big 12 is worth two wins a year. Seven wins in the Big 12 is the equivalent of nine in the New Big East.

Nine wins wasn't good enough for Stewart, and I was glad that we moved on. Will the equivalent, or worse, be good enough for Dana?

I'll sleep better knowing that..we aren't going to get 7 wins anyway.not with the turnovers..we might not get 5.

 

[31Herd55]

Was this the Big East after VT and BC left? I was never aware that the conference was called the New Big East.

 

[WESTBGVA]

Uhh... we won't even get to 7.

How's he going to get anything close to what he paid for that box car looking house he had built?..that thing is weird..my guess is it will be up for sell next year.

 

[VaultHunter]

Any Marshall fan with half a brain would kill for Marshall to be in WVU's position right now. All time Big12 record included. Your not gonna fool any of us saying you wouldn't so don't even try.

I would rather have a season like this every year than I would go back to being in the Big East/AAC

To the idiots on here talking about giving back the money for wins. I hate to break this to you but WVU is a University not just a football team. Your opinion does not matter neither does mine and WVU is doing what is best for West Virginia University not just the football team.

Accept that and be a supportive fan. Or go root for Marshall and watch Conference USA football.

Yea, the Big East wins were like Canadian money, a Canadian dollar only worth about 90 cents US. That's the Big East exchange rate.

Here is what needs to happen. Penn State is less than thrilled with the BIG everyone knows it. WVU needs to approach them and get into talks about creating a new conference. Now I say keep some of the AAC and dump the rest. I would keep Temple, Cincy, UCONN, Navy, Central Florida, South Florida, possibly East Carolina or Memephis. Then I would make a pitch to Notre Dame one that would make them consider. They have a long history with PSU and Navy, it also keeps them alive big time in the Northeast where a major bulk of their grads reside. Now you have 11 teams, several with quality history and several with a huge upside. Now for the last team, who could it be??? Anyway with a conference with Notre Dame, Penn State and West Virginia in it I think you could rake in some major cash, you would have the NYC market with Notre Dame, Philly and the PA market with PSU and Temple. The Memphis(TN) Market. Orlando(C. Florida), Tampa(S. Florida), DC(Navy) Northeast with UCONN and there is a strong following with ECU in NC, plus the #2 team in Ohio in Cincy. The hard question is who to add as #12,13,14. Dump the Texas teams and others and work the East coast. For teams 12-14 go get Army, now you own the Army Navy game, one of the biggest watched games of the year. Teams 13-14 you have to look at maybe getting Maryland/Rutgers to jump ship and if not can you get Virginia Tech to possibly sway? If none of those you have to look at Marshall/So Miss/Old Dominion

Good Lord. I can't believe anyone would even suggest such a thing but even worse think it had a snow balls chance in hades of EVER happening. If WVU could wield such power and influence we'd be in the ACC, Big 10 or SEC right now. We are in the Big 12 and playing one of the toughest schedules in the country. Instead of complaining about how tough it is we need to Sack Up and get better. And U.S. Fans need to Pay Up and quit complaining. This is an AWESOME conference. Every week is another opportunity to prove yourself. Those that do get rewarded. Those that don't get pounded and stepped on. That's Life!

I'd really like to see some welfare reform from the state legislature. You should be competing at a level where the taxpayer isn't having to float your athletic department. If that means Marshall goes back to IAA, where they belong, then so be it. This state has a lot more problems and a lot better places to spend the money than Marshall's welfare football program...
