Just noticed that WVU has never won any of those bowls. Combined record of 0-8. Time to start changing things!

Where do you get 8 games. 1 Cactus vs Missouri, 2 Liberty vs TA&M, Utah, 3 Russell vs South Carolina, Ga Tech and NC State.

You know how it is, Woody. As bad as our non-Pat White bowl record is, it sure seems like we lost more...ha ha

Those six losses belong to Corum, Nehlen(3), Stewart, Holgorsen

Speaking of Corum, I've always wondered how close his 1962 team came to getting a bowl bid. They didn't beat anybody good, but finished 8-2 with blowout losses to 9-2 Oregon St and 9-2 Penn St.

Does your memory go back that far, Woody?

Actually my memories of WVU football start in 1964. However I have read a story on Nebraska and the Gotham Bowl in NYC for 1962 which was the beginning of the Nebraska bowl run. WVU turned down a bid to that game due to the fact that they would probably lose money on the trip. Nebraska had to accept some sort of revenue sharing agreement. Nebraska beat Miami of Florida in that game. The second and last Gotham Bowl.

Russell athletic bowl might be looking for a backyard brawl action! This was from their Twitter account @RussellAthBowl: If we get a Pitt/WVU #RAB, we can still call it the Backyard Brawl, right? We're in Florida; a scuffle behind the house is standard stuff.

I can remember we lost to Utah in the Liberty Bowl when I was a kid. Milt Clegg was the QB as I recall.
