What's this?

Re: After all the clamor

As a WVU fan I can say that we need Virginia Tech as well. Frankly I don't care if WVU ever gets into the ACC. If the chips fall that way in the future, fine. If not I'm not going to lose any sleep. I like the Big 12. The fact we end our football season playing Texas and Oklahoma is great but we do need to play the Hokies in ALL sports every year, whether it's in conference or out of conference. Some of the crap you guys post about poor academics and bad fan behavior is way over the top, but I try to ignore it as much as I can. It's a great rivalry for the fans. Playing VT, Pitt and getting Penn State back on the schedule is a good thing for the Mountaineers.

We played Clemson and FSU more often before the ACC. ** -- chuckd4vt 06/13/2017 12:59PM

Not recently... -- gman86 06/13/2017 2:24PM

The current pace is for us to play each once every 6 seasons. -- chuckd4vt 06/13/2017 2:46PM

I like the 9- to 10-team conference model -- Calamitous 06/13/2017 9:22PM

Pac10 used to have the best set up. -- Maroon Baboon 06/13/2017 5:27PM

The 9 game model works if teams are willing to play 6 home games -- VTHokie2000 06/14/2017 10:55AM
