    have you watched any pac 12 games ? god the officials in that league suck

    Yea, usually wide open games.  But I don't know, is the officiating there any worse than in the NFL?

    YES it is fucking horrid even after a official makes a statement about a play they have to re huddle and reverse what he said fuckers should not even be allowed to do a pee wee game

    The Big Ten could bring in Columbia if academic standing is as important as Dutch thinks, but it wouldn't do much for TV ratings

    I'm sorry your idea of having West Virginia enter the Big Ten was already considered years ago, and the Big Ten dismissed it because of WVU's academic record.

    I understand and now that you mention it I do recall your info on WV.

    It's very noble the Big Ten strives to maintain some standards for it's members. Many years ago at some crappy time slot on Saturday afternoons there was a television program called "It's Academic".  Different college teams were pitted against each other in a "Jeopardy" type format.

    It's no longer on the air because people didn't watch because they were more interested in watching good college football games.

    I thought that was what this thread was about...building strong rivalries in a conference.

    Well, I think that OSU/WVa.  could be a decent rivalry that should be played on occasion.....in or out of conference.    But hell, correct me if I am wrong,   WVa's  biggest rivalry was always Pitt, wasn't it?   Billed as the "Backyard Brawl".   And they don't play that any more, do they?  

    And there is that Texas/Texas A&M rivalry that they don't play any more.  Our regular here wants to put the demise of that on the back of Texas.....but I am not sure about that.   Seems that since TAMU  joined the SEC they didn't want to take on another tough customer out of conference.  

    And the rivalry that I think has truly demised that is regrettable is:    Nebraska/Oklahoma. 

    But, let me ask the real tough question:    Is it any coincidence that since they have gotten very strict on steroid use that the Nebraska program has gone downhill? 

  • 2. Will both Chubb and Hunt carry for 100 yards each on Sunday v. Jags?  Can both of them get to 1000 yards for the season?

    By the way:   Chubb 19 carries for 144,   Hunt   10 for  62.

    For the season:

    Chubb 719 yards

    Hunt  706.  

    With 5 games remaining, its possible they may both make 1000.

    You are right on the 1000 for each we are going to need to run the ball in all of these contest left.

    And they can feast against the Jets and Giants too

    Also there's this to consider:

    West Virginia isn't that good at college football either.

    I remember the year that it was  going to be   Ohio State vs. undefeated  WVa. in the  BCS title game......but WVa. choked in their final game, opening it up for Florida to make it....who then proceeded to rock OSU.    Would have like to have seen that title game matchup.

    Admit it though....you all backdoored your way in.  Florida had other chances, and successes.  That is the only time in my lifetime that WVa. came close to being able to play for the National title.
