Yep. They crushed us almost every year. Not as bad as you guys vs. Nebraska/Oklahoma, but close.

That was the best team we played most years. That's what you asked.

From what I'm looking at there says you haven't played them since 1992 and haven't beat them since 1988.  See, this is the kind of things that go through our mind when we hear the repeated "But 3 BCS wins!!!`"!" talking point.

WVU is a much improved program from the Penn St. "rivalry" days.

The Pat White/Rich Rod teams (three straight top 10 finishes) most likely would have won at least one conference title in any conference outside of the SEC. Last years Orange Bowl team would have been 7-5 in the Big 12. We were in the Orange Bowl only because our conference was terrible and our team played the best game they could possibly play against a weak BCS opponent in that Orange Bowl. It's an accomplishment, but it's fair for others to discount it's value as a bragging point. The 2005 and 2007 teams were legit top 7 or 8 teams in the country and the new Big East as a whole was in the middle of a decent run. In 2006 the Big East had 3/8 teams in the final top 10.

in the early 90's when we were just trying to make a name for ourselves. No one respected us then just like no one respects West Virginia now due to them playing in the Big East these past 10 years.

Remember in the early 90's when our fans used to do crazy things like tear down goalposts in other teams stadiums? West Viginia's program is there right now, just trying to get someone to notice their newly found success.

While we never went as far as our new Hilljack friends(burning couches, beating pregnant women etc) its sort of the same thing right?

If they keep winning we may just have no choice but to kick Michigan off the pedestal we are on and give West Virginia a hand up(but not before pulling it back and saying PSYCHE!).

I'm not sure about the newly found success thing. We have over 700 all-time wins, placing us 20th amongst the winningest programs in the nation, with more wins than schools such as Arkansas, Florida, and Texas A&M.

Who was they best team you played in a typical season while you accumulated all those wins, though?

Penn St.
Pitt when they were winning national championships.

..for the most part.

go on.....

Well 99% of the fans are great and hospitable, and some will offer yall food and drinks. There is however some fans(mostly, if not all students) that think its hilarious to start dumb crap with opposing fans..so if youre thin skinned when it comes to stuff like that be prepared i guess.
Yall should have a good time though..except for the game.   
If anyone is looking for a bar to go to Friday night i would suggest Marios Fishbowl or Keglers btw...

Both of those bars are way off the bar scene and overrated. If you're old and just looking for a couple beers, go to one of those places. If you're looking to get destroyed and be where the action is, just head down to High St. That's where the typical college bar scene is at.

Are there cabs?  How do you get to the bars after the game?

I ran into a West Virginia fan out here who told me the place to go was Bent Willies.

Just walk downtown after the game. It will be quicker than sitting in traffic. It's a bit over a 1.5 mile walk downhill.

Found this on Google image search.  I'm not sure what it means, but it appears to be some counties attempting to secede from the state that seceded from the other state that was part of the states that seceded from the US.

Jesus don't these people get along with anyone?

Those counties were not in WV originally, but after the Civil War they decided to join WV to avoid federal occupation. Returning Civil War veterans were not allowed to vote on the matter which was controversial because the counties would have stayed part of Virginia if they had been allowed to vote. The case eventually made it's way to the Supreme Court and the ruling went WV's way since the federal courts weren't exactly sympathetic to the Southern states at that time.

Not that what I said has anything to do with the picture.
