can anything suck worse for a Mountaineer fan lately? WTF. Don't coaches stay anywhere anymore? He will join Saban as my most hated coaches.

Mounteer basketball is looking good early season, however.

Good riddance I say. I don't want this "I love WVU but let me keep visiting other schools every now and again" crap all the time.

WVU, what would you say...


Head coach bailing on your team + disappointing end to the season, not beating pitt to goto the NAT. Ship' = Bet vs WVU in bowl game??

There is bigger news to this.

Terrel Pryor - nations #1 QB prospect is now on Michigans list. He runs the spread. He called up Rivals this morning and told them to add Michigan to his list. He had a talk with Rich, and they want to go together to Michigan to create something special. It's still early, and nothing has bee signed but this could be borderline larger than Rich getting the job.

Would you want to live in Morgantown?:monsters-


You have a point, but Michigan is as depressing as it gets with all the unemployment and foreclosures and property value losses. At least he can take his big salary and buy an entire neighborhood.

You may get 2-1 on a moneyline shot. I would bet WV without points. Coach bailing or not they can still win this game at least 4 times out of 10. The players still want to win.

when a coach bails on the team it usually doesn't mean good things for that team in their bowl game. I believe its something like 10 losses out of the last 12 games where a coach has left for another job.

Do you expect the number to move higher than 7? IF so I still see value in the moneyline. Tough call considering WV's last game, but they have played well in Bowls as of late

ya I really don't have an opinion on the game. At least not yet. Just pointing out that it's usually not a good sign when a coach leaves. I really don't know how I feel as a Michigan fan. I really don't like the offense he runs but maybe the change will be good.

I'll give Rich this: at least he had the balls to personally tell the WVU players insted of putting a note in their lockers like Petrino did.

the parts of Michigan he will be living is top notch, just ask some of the Michigan posters here. The suburbs around Ann Arbor are real real nice. Everytiime the Tigers bring a free agent here they are stunned how nice it is in the suburbs. I would have to think it is as good a place to live as WV.
