If Chiefs can do it when not WVU?
- Thread starter Cuyahoga Falls Eers
- Start date
I only post on one.
Just need one.
You do more damage to this message board than you do good...
You can't separate your own ego from WVU so you end up shitting on WVU at times.
I don't need to.
They neg reps people who don't belong.
They don't have a problem with trolls taking over
Ding ding ding...more reverting....continue with the false spin.
Yet you are so upset by the fact that WVU was the best team in 1942 according to the OP....
Too funny
Just like this board. It's why you troll here pretending to be a Tex fan. Gold Board rules.
Not upset just showing he is wrong about national title claim. No banner hangs in WVU coliseum claiming a national title. I don't know why a supposed Texas fan cares one way or the other. Get your foot out of your mouth.
Yet you post on this one still...
I only troll the people who deserve it.
Problem with Allen...
He is too stupid to figure things out
No concussion but my arms are tired from smacking you around.
Are you that stupid...
They claim the 1942 NIT title..
They don't need to claim a NCAA NC because the NIT Championship is superior
You are only choking yourself.
You are thinking about NCAA NC when the NIT was superior
1942 isn't 2020...
No shit Sherlock. But no National Championship awarded for NIT. Except once in 1938-1939 season. CFE claims National Championship when fact shows Stanford as Champions.
OP claims national Title. Temple the only team to win the NIT and given the national championship. NCAA started the year after that and was used for naming the champions of collegiate basketball.
But the NCAA NC was worthless...
The NIT was more important.
So therefore like the Chiefs winning the SB WVU won the SB in College Basketball
This has standing.
I wouldn't go as far as OP did but what he said has merit.
This was what the entire discussion was about.
Just switch the roles with the NIT and NCAA.
The NIT was considered a bigger tournament.
It had the teams the Basketball writers in NY thought were the best teams in the country
Like Long Island
Nothing wrong with hope and optimism but this is not the right comparison for it. Comparing an NFL team winning a super bowl to wvu winning a national championship is comparing apples to oranges. The NFL has a salary cap, free agency and a draft system which college football does not. There is nothing stopping Alabama, Clemson and Ohio State from getting the best QB, RB in the same class. The worst NFL team will get to draft whomever they perceive as the best player. Cuyahoga may take some flack from certain posters but he brings it on himself when he starts threads like this with faulty logic.
Who gives a shit about more prestigious at the time. OP claimed National Title and it's not so.
You're still clueless as you base your claim on something such as NIT was more recognized. Except by the NCAA who are the ones that named COLLEGE CHAMPIONS after Temple won the NIT and was named National Champions. No other NIT champion ever was named NCAA Basketball National Champs.

Thanks for the supportive facts, TVZ. Any intelligent fan knows that winning the NIT was a bigger deal than winning the NCAA in 1942. Even as late as 1970 Al McGuire turned down an NCAA bid for an NIT bid, and won the NIT title. That's why the NCAA ruled in 1971 that no one could ever turn down an NCAA bid. Can you imagine anyone turning down a March Madness invitation. Yes, based on fact, WVU was national champ in basketball in 1942, whether you like it or not. No, NOT NCAA champ because that was nothing in 1942. NCAA had to switch its tournament from the Midwest to Madison Square Garden, like the NIT, to get anyone to take notice. Why is it so hard to believe the truth? And why attack someone for stating it? Oh, that's right, Killing The Messenger goes back centuries and centuries because the messenger told the King a truth that he didn't want to hear. At least I'm not bleeding. Progress!

Because you have posted this NIT nonsense at least 100 times on message boards, you clearly understand that others don't subscribe to your theory, and are desperate to convince others that your alma mater was the national champion in 1942. Stanford was the 1942 basketball national champion, and nothing that you or a fake Texas fan repeatedly post will ever change this fact.
Who are others....
A bunch of trolls.
What he said is claimed by numerous people even the university.
Recently they have called it being a National Tournament Champion
I have seen numerous newspaper from WV call it NIT National Championship.
Even the state legislature.
Can't deny this

He isn't comparing it.
He was wrong about the Chiefs as they won the 1962 AFL championshil as the Dallas Texans.
But he is saying that the Chiefs just won their second why can't WVU.
Just hope.
Why shit on and be a jerk.
Especially on a WVU message board.
These other idiots.
They are scum and have miserables lives and hate WVU more than they love their own teams
History doesn’t support your claim. Link the source that confirms WVU was declared the 1942 National Champ.
CFE's exact words:
"WVU won its ONLY national basketball title in 1942, when the NIT was THE national title. WVU won the NIT again in 2007, but it wasn’t THE national title by then."
No qualifying language used above. If you can't understand that the statement above is inaccurate, then I can't help you.

There is no National Championship Banner that hangs in the Mountaineer Coliseum.
