I think so. I think we would have won big and would have broke a big run. Neal didn’t take any chances with Nicco and kept it very vanilla. Honestly? Why not? He put Pitt in the situation to make plays and they couldn’t.
My guess when I read cheap win, is winning when the rival team is down and out like Pitt is now and VT was last year. You want to play and beat your biggest rivals when they are at their best especially when you dont play them much anymore. Or at least some people do. It is uncalled for to call people names for thinking different than you. What really is the point of it? If it bother you don't post. You don't see the people who are over neal brown hounding the climb trusters and calling them names.
Or you can wait until we have a winning season before telling the people who already have losing seasons 3 of 4 years to point to when they’re allowed to bitch about Brown. If you notice, I don’t feel the need to tell you or WVUFanForever what you’re allowed to think about this team. If you have nothing to contribute other than “we won, stfu”, then we’ll just see how the rest of the year goes. But IMO we are an unimpressive 2-1, and now we go into conference play where Brown is 14-21.
you can think what you want. You can say what you want. I honestly can say I have no clue what your specific opinion is and my STFU wasn't necessarily pointed towards you. But on a WVU fan board after a good win, I am CONTRIBUTING a fact that it is a good win and the coach did a good job. It is objective based on fact. It is also objective based on fact that Brown needs to win this year and he knows it. Point is, support the team, make constructive comments about the coaching based on fact and not hatred as you wish and enjoy wins. Or misintepret my comments again. I don't care.
We scored 17 points despite starting in Pitt territory 5 times. Our drive chart is as follows:
I believe we did enough to win with a QB that wasn't expected to play. If we would have lost, your question would be worth asking. It isn't at this point, IMO
PSU has three All Americans..lets just see how many teams rush for 100+ on them this year..WVU is the only one thus far..last season they held 9 teams under 100 including Ohio St and they are better this yr..next up..... Iowa for them
Psu also has 14 starters returning from a team that won the Rose Bowl. They will be competing for a top 10 finish and possibly a playoff spot if things go their way. Nobody we play from here on out is as good as that team.
Pitt scored 6 points total...with 23 plays combined in those 2 drives.
Was Pitt's win considered cheap last year? You are wrong on the setup deep in an opponents territory 5 times.
What record do you give us if we continue to have only 1 good offensive drive per game in the Big XII?
Who said anything about winning the rest of the way?
What record would you give us if we scored more points than our opponents.
It’s possible to enjoy a win and laugh at Pitt’s failure while recognizing we are not good. Don’t understand why certain posters can’t accept team criticism just because we won.
but we are good..lost the starting QB and still found a way to pull it out...WVU can run the ball on anyone because this is a top five offensive line.. NCAA limits practice time..20 hrs per week includes film sessions, strength and conditioning , and maybe two hours per day for just practice. no more pushing sleds until dark.Nicco got very few reps with the ones but he has this week
Name all the Great teams we will play in the Big 12 this year where we will need to light up the scoreboard.
ISU, who we don’t play, is probably the only team in the conference where we could duplicate the offensive performance we had against Pitt and win.
It's pretty clear you haven't seen many Big 12 teams play this year.
These dudes are mad. You cant offer constructive criticism on here or they turn it into a 10 page thread. One sentance is all it takes and you are a bad fan, negative nacy, bad day in bagdad, etc. It feels like 4th grade all over sometimes...
it's Baghdad Bob..not bad day..the minister of propaganda...actually I like yours better... good name for a metal band
Its not a bad metal band name. The fart knocking daddys is the only band name I would use at this point in my life though. Good thing I dont have a band anymore. It would be named after Neal and his staff.
You are 120% full of it lol. Reality is that fans who offer constructive criticism get bashed even if their criticism is based on reality, and even if they also praise certain things. On the flip side, no one bothers the climb trusters for trusting the climb at all. Whiners whine, and for whatever reason, Neal's supporters whine more than he does. In the end all it really does is make people not like Brown even more. So if you want people to like Brown more, perhaps its you who should stfu. These threads wouldnt drag on if y'all just let people state their opinion without getting your panties in a bunch and attacking them for it because they dont see eye-to-eye with you lol.
I support the team and during the season, the coach of the team wishing them the best. I am realistic knowing we are a mid level Big 12 team in the conference and expecting perfection is idiotic. I will offer constructive criticism as quickly as I offer praise when warranted. I won't attack others for an honest opinion as I enjoy the conversation. So you are hating on the wrong guy.
you have never praised Neal Brown for anything ever..you called him a clown two days ago..well speaking for the clown..Scoreboard Bitches!
He had a good 2nd season where he cleaned up the mess left behind from DH and then he and his agent put their hands out, took the money and tanked the program. But he did have that good 2nd season objectively speaking.
That is the definition of not being a fan.
How is it constructive criticism if all you are doing is making up names for the coaches and players and fans that follow WVU. Everyone knows it's been below expectation. Neal probably should have been fired after year 4 in my opinion. He wasn't, so I'll support the team and hope for the best. I don't see super success this coming season even after this win. I also don't see any team on the schedule they can't beat except Oklahoma. Will they beat those teams? Not sure about that because history has shown differently.
