Texas Tech v. West Virginia: The Carlen Trophy

[SaikenPhase]

Carlen was one of the most successful coaches at both schools,

Lets get this "Trophy" game going!

Record at WVU- 25-13, 1 Southern Conference championship (1967), Peach Bowl Victory,10-1 season, 17th Nationally.
Record at TTU, 37-20, 1973 11-1 season, Gator Bowl victory, Ranked 11th nationally

Now that is a good idea.

 

[Buster68]

that would be a nice tribute and start of a tradition.

There was the Ben Schwartzwalder trophy when we regularly played Syracuse while in the Big East conference. A great idea in starting a new tradition in our new conference where we have a similar situation concerning the late Jim Carlen...

Has anyone submitted this idea to the AD's of each respective school? Vernon?

As a freshman at WVU when TT stole Jim Carlen, I am still hoping for revenge this weekend!

I like trophies. Let's Goooooooooooooooo Mountaineers!

How about the Carlen-Denver trophy to recognize the ties from those two to the two respective schools.

Then of course is the Holgorsen connection.

When I was at WVU, Bam Morris' girlfriend was a WVU women's basketball player. Can't remember her name, but she was from Texas.

Rich Rodriguez almost took the Texas Tech job before coming to WVU.

The connections are endless.

Rumor has it that his wife got off the plane in lubbock, just an hour or so before the presser, and said no and got back on the plane.

I believe that Hance {Tech chancelor] has contacted WVU about some sort of Battle for John Denver.

Hance was a frat brother to Denver when he was at Tech.

Hance all but said he is not a fan of WVU and would have rather had Louisville in the conference than us.
