OMG...another expansion what if post. However did hear that Canada was thinking about expanding by annexing Montana and the Upper Michigan area.
What, specifically, about this subject bothers you so much?
Why are you so absolutely fixated on making sure no one discuss the subject of expansion in WVU's conference even amidst news and revelations about the matter?
This is a message board after all--so what troubles you so much about ANY discussion about this?
this board is pretty dead, I think almost all topics especially with regards to sports, pro or college, should be allowed. I don't know why this main board is dead. Go to other teams rivals pages and their free boards are flooded with content. I was on UK board once reading some stuff, it was their football board and it felt like they went went through multiple pages in 1 game. Yet on here, we can have posts a week old or older on the 1st page. Very slow moving, barely any discussion. I posted a few threads on baseball last few days and not 1 reply. This board is dead. Perhaps, Blue Lot is different but this free Mountaineer Message Board is dead.
Its been killed by trolls--few Mountaineer fans visit the Mountaineer boards anymore because when we post, we are immediately confronted with nonstop personal attack and derailing attempts, and other threads are a rinse, wash, repeat of attacks on the AD, coaches, players over and over and over.
Sad, truly pitiful that some--many of whom come from outside--have been able to destroy a means for Mountaineer fans to speak to one another like other universities enjoy.
Yep that's why I stopped paying. Not worth the hassle in getting upset. Used to visit these boards daily. Now maybe weekly.Its been killed by trolls--few Mountaineer fans visit the Mountaineer boards anymore because when we post, we are immediately confronted with nonstop personal attack and derailing attempts, and other threads are a rinse, wash, repeat of attacks on the AD, coaches, players over and over and over.

I guess a true wvu fan spends his time starting one expansion thread after another instead of paying attention to the 10th ranked Basketball team which has more relevance at this time then the endless rumors we have been hearing for the last 3 years.Its been killed by trolls--few Mountaineer fans visit the Mountaineer boards anymore because when we post, we are immediately confronted with nonstop personal attack and derailing attempts, and other threads are a rinse, wash, repeat of attacks on the AD, coaches, players over and over and over.

If they personally don't like a subject VOILA!!! they don't have to READ OR COMMENT.

But can you talk about anything other than expansion?Funny how some "fans" simply spend ALL of their time bashing real WVU fans on message boards--oh, that is when they aren't bashing WVU's coaches, and players, and AD--INCLUDING the current top ten rated basketball team. Or derailing threads.
It's also quite amazing that they don't realize on a message board its possible to talk about more than one subject at a time, or that when NEWS comes out about subjects related to WVU's athletics, real WVU fans might want to discuss those things--and that their negativity and trolling doesn't add anything. If they personally don't like a subject VOILA!!! they don't have to READ OR COMMENT.
Surprisingly, no one really cares about their trolling rants, but some real WVU fans are actually interested not just in what is happening right now at this moment, but long term in WVUs athletics and there are MANY things happening all the time.

Why don't you learn the difference between news and speculation. The articles you post are not news they are speculation and stop calling people liars. The articles you have posted turn out to be nothing but lies in the end. The truth is the big 12 missed the boat on expansion.Yes, only posting to attack WVU fans trying to discuss ANYTHING related to WVU, attacking players, coaches, the athletic department and university in your other posts makes you a troll.
There is nothing wrong with WVU fans discussing issues affecting WVU's current and future.
There is ALOT wrong with attempting to derail any conversation WVU fans have with anything WVU.
Byu has had an inferiority complex ever since Utah landed in the Pac 12.
