WVU’s worst beating, 20-45




#22 Iowa State 3-2 5-3 overall

WVU won heart-stopper, 38-31 with more players in end zone for the 2 teams than in the red zone on Purdy’s final pass batted down as the clock ran out!




Kansas State 2-3 5-3 overall

November 13 in Wizard of Oz State




Texas 2-3 5-4 overall

Longhorns, as usual every season, NOT baaaccckkk!!! All that oil money with not much to show for it. Texas visits Mountaineer Field November 20.




WVU 2-3 4-4 overall

2-game winning streak that ended 3-game losing streak.




Texas Tech 2-4 5-4 overall

WVU lost 20-23 to Red Raiders FG in final 18 seconds.




TCU 1-4 3-5 overall

WVU won 29-17




Kansas 0-5 1-7 overall

It’s Kansas being Kansas, perennial doormat of the Big 12 that guarantees the other 9 teams win a conference game. Season finale at Kansas for WVU November 27.




6 points kept WVU from being 4-1 in the Big 12! Not exactly cannon fodder or chopped liver in the Big 12.

Remaining schedule, going by the standings:

L to Oklahoma State

Tossup with Kansas State

W over Texas

W over Kansas




The numbers says WVU will be 5-4 or 4-5 in the Big 12. Usual .500 season under Neal Brown at WVU.

My Pacemaker, a day later, finally stopped smoking and spinning at warp speed after watching that glorious dogfight in Mountaineer Field against Iowa State and a tough QB in Purdy!

And Mother Nature was kind, downpours on the road to and from Ohio but just a few raindrops during the game. Great timing by the waterworks!

See I think we beat Oklahoma state at home next week.

What the numbers say is you score more than your opponent you win the game.

The final play for ISU and Purdy was not in the red zone. It was outside the 30 at the 34 or 35. On the so called play where people are saying he had the first down. Well watched again and he was marked out of bounds before extending the ball. They mark you at the spot you step out. You can't extend after stepping out.

2 1/2 weeks ago, Jerry Palm had us slotted as one of the 5-7 bowl teams when we were 2-4.
Now we are 4-4 with Kansas remaining - and he doesn't have us in a bowl.
Make me think his predictions are pulling pieces of paper from a hat.

NOT HAT. FROM THE PLACE WHERE HE SITS DOWN.

Seriously, Seronimus? How can you diss 1922 national champs or me?

Seriously, Seronimus? How can you diss 1922 national champs or me?

How can you be serious when there were FOUR schools that were unbeaten and untied ahead of WVU?

Those 4 also had a tougher schedule.

Because it was before my grandfather was born. It doesn’t count

CFE...I don't have any issues with you but you sound like a spitt fan yapping about their 100 national titles they won before WWII.

IT GRIPES ME WHEN PEOPLE SAY WE'VE NEVER WON A NATIONAL TITLE WHEN THE 1922 TEAM WOULD BE A NATIONAL TITLE IF THEY HAD ONE AND THE 1942 NIT CHAMPS WAS A NATIONAL TITLE BECAUSE IT WAS A BIGGER DEAL THAN THE NCAA BACK THEN. SO I WILL STICK WITH 1922 NATIONAL CHAMPS AND FOOTBALL AND 1942 NATIONAL CHAMPS IN BASKETBALL. ONE IN EACH SPORT IS A FAR CRY FROM PITT'S LYING ABOUT A DOZEN NATIONAL TITLES. PLUS, YOU NEED TO HAVE FUN IN LIFE.

 

[WVUFanForever]

IN regards to football...if they truly won a title in 1922...don't you think the school would recognize it and honor that?

What gripes the rest of us is that you're claiming a national title that is not supported by facts, figures or common sense. You falsely claim to be all about the numbers, but you blindly refuse to acknowledge the obvious, which is that an undefeated and untied season, which four schools had in 1922, is always better than an undefeated and one-tie season where the schools without a tie have played at least as strong of a schedule as the school with a tie. You have deluded yourself into thinking that if you make this false claim long enough that people will actually believe you, but it hasn't worked, and won't work.

It gripes me when you know better than to keep this 1922 football title gibberish going. Anyone and everyone can research it and see that there were FOUR schools that went unbeaten and untied that would have a better claim than you have on the Best college football team in 1922.

Move along.

WVU won the East-West Classic, the equivalent of the Rose Bowl in 1922. Rose Bowl wasn't constructed till 1923.

WVU won the East-West Classic, the equivalent of the Rose Bowl in 1922. Rose Bowl wasn't constructed till 1923.

More disinformation from the Propaganda Czar. WVU wasn't invited to the Rose Bowl, which was played exactly one week after the East-West Christmas Classic, which was played in San Diego. The East-West Christmas Classic was NOT the equivalent of the Rose Bowl.

"It is widely criticized that West Virginia was not invited to the Rose Bowl and did not receive a share of the national championship; their next bowl appearance was fifteen years later, at the Sun Bowl in El Paso, Texas. This was Gonzaga's only bowl game,[4] as its football program was discontinued after the 1941 season."

[westsiderSJHS77]

So it wasn’t a “Rose Bowl” win and that still doesn’t bring WVU above FOUR schools that went unbeaten and untied.

 

[WVUALLEN]

East-West Classic, the equivalent of the Rose Bowl in 1922.

False statement right there. Quit posting bucky like lies.

The Rose Bowl Game was originally known as the Tournament East-West Football Game.​

It is widely criticized that West Virginia was not invited to the Rose Bowl and did not receive a share of national title.

The first Tournament of Roses football game, which was the first post-season football game in the nation, was staged at Tournament Park on January 1, 1902. The game matched the West Coast's Stanford against Midwestern Michigan.
