First......its a bowl game and I'm getting 10 points!
Second........I ask myself...Do these 2 teams belong on the same field?? Answer...YES
Third.....Can West Virginia win this game?????...Ask Syracuse...Ask Maryland
Fourth....Speaking of those 2 common opponents
lets look: West Va 27 Syracuse 6, Fla.St 17 Syr 13
West Va 19 Maryland 16, Maryland 20 Fla St 17
Further, run/pass comparative statistics in those games on Offense favor W Va while Defense Stats are almost dead even v both.
Sooooooooooooo.....I ask myself...what the hell do I know?....Books are at 10...I know that W Va played teams in crappy :rolleyes: Big East like CT,BC,Pitt etc. BUT...maybe a little of that 10 spot is for past Fla State glory and perception of BE weakness........Soooooooooo given I get 10 and the 2 comps that I look at seem pretty even MAYBE I have a little edge with W Va. here

............Have a HAPPY, HEALTHY, PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!!!

only problem is Virginia's strength on offense, the running game, is up against the best rushing defense in the nation...only allowing 2 yrds per carry.

Heard coach Rodriguez on a radio interview and he didn't sound overwhelmingly confident. He talked about staying in the game and keeping it close.

A talent disparity does exist, although not sure 11 points worth.

A$M has a great fan base, don't think fsu is much better than A&M..IMO...

You're dead on Vol. Fair weather fans now. Totally spoiled. I'd be willing to bet the WVU fans will be louder than our fans.
