Since the Powers That Be and The Profiteers…….

Postby Mountainman » Mon Nov 27, 2023 8:50 am

……. have managed to take the game off the field and put it in a Committee Room, I am hopeful scenarios such as these actually happen. Maybe then they’ll pull their heads out of their rectums.

I think the 3 unbeatens stay unbeaten and Washington loses to Oregon who takes their place in the 4

You’re probably right, I’ve read where Washington has fallen off as the season progressed while Oregon has gotten better. I also saw where Florida State’s QB is out for the remainder of the season, but Louisville lost to Kentucky last weekend, so who knows???? Maybe those Iowa farm boys get a break or two, or three, or four and knock off Michigan and Roll Tide Roll pulls another rabbit out of their hat in Atlanta, they may have another one in their hat in addition to the one the Tide pulled out last weekend against Auburn…….. I’m just not a fan of Selection Committees.

Good Lord, I saw where my beloved Mountaineers got votes in one of the POLLS, a.k.a. ‘Committees’, with 8 wins. Hell’s Fire, they didn’t beat anybody with a pulse and lost to one team that was already comatose. :roll:

Maybe I’m just getting to darn old……. 8) 8) 8)

Oh don’t get me wrong, If Iowa knocks Harbaugh on his butt I am a happy guy. I just don’t think it will happen.

I have been on the WVU football board for over 20 years...have followed the Eers through the years.

Way back in 1982, FSU played WVU in the Gator Bowl. My wife and I sat next nto a young couple from West Virgina and we chatted during that miserable game (it rained, a 40 degree wind was blowing off of the river). We wemt out for a late dinner together and exchanged numbers..

You know, you never expect to contact each other again. But they called and said we are coming to Panama City for vacation...we met them, took them sailing in the Gulf, and had some good times...we later went to West Virginia and they showed us around...we both got pregnant about the same time, both had boys, and they grew up more like cousins as we spent vacations together.

Now. with the bpys grown and our retirements, we don't spend time together...but we cheer for WVU...through Rod, Stew, Holgy, and Brown...I'd like to see them in the Big 12 CCG.

I hear so few stories like that anymore. :(
They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.

See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.
