WVU football closing in on national championship game

Even though I'll always be a Kentucky Wildcats' fan I know at least 90 percent of people here bleed "blue and gold" (4.00 / 1)

I think WVU can beat anybody in the country right now.  Pat White and Steve Slaton are very, very good.

The Pittsburgh Panthers, WVU's biggest rival, are having a very down year right now, but I still think they'll be ready for this game.  They would love nothing better than to stop the Mountaineers from winning it all.  It would be

Still I think WVU will win by a rather large margin.  Coach Rod and his players don't take the opposition lightly very often.

Almost everybody I know has WVU shirts on....

with one notable exception:  me bluemcdowell lol.

If WVU does win fact in it all, being a diehard U of Kentucky fan like I am,  I might have to go into hiding right now, and so will all other non-WVU fans.  And I'm halfway serious about this!  WVU fans generally love WVU and nobody else as a general rule.  Every team to them is a major rival lol.

Really it was WVU's defense that is the reason they are 1 game away from 90 percent of West Virginians' dreams come true.  They did extremely well this year and helped WVU pull out some games that WVU's offense and White and Slaton struggled in.

Let's Go Mountaineers!

Well sort of lol.

Well actually 2 games.... (4.00 / 1)

vs. Pitt of course....

then probably against Missouri, Georgia, or Ohio State.

A Ohio State-West Virginia game would be very interesting because both schools generally recruit from the same part of the country, and because it's a border war.

I think Georgia would be WVU's toughest opponent.  WVU handed Georgia's Dawgs a shocking defeat in the Sugar Bowl 2 seasons ago, and the Dawgs and their fans would love to see nothing more than revenge against WVU and spoil their season in revenge for that crushing defeat.

Should be interesting....
