Blue/White game

[HOLLYWOOD]

Coach-those are very good posts by you and goodbuddy, get a clue before you come on here and say stupid things because it only makes you look really bad. For Heaven sakes, you have PSU fans making fun of you! All I have to say to your comments is be behind the scenes in a D-I program and understand recruiting instead of just shooting off your mouth on a message board when you have no idea. D-I Football is not Central High School Football but very close to it ha, ha. Get your heads out of the sky and make good posts.

[goodbuddy]

i think i made a valid point. and although i didnt play d-1 football or was i a coaches helper at a d-1 program, i think my comments are accurate about the recruiting. i feel certain that if wvu could get the kids that psu, ohio st,, maryland,,virginia and so on get,,,,they would take them in a heartbeat. im sure that they offer alot of those guys but they cant land them. i know that you dont have to be a big time recruit to be good. psu gets alot out of their walk ons. but you are still gonna recruit the best kids and if a walk on turn out to be great then its a bonus.

i like wvu and almost always root for them. i like their offense and i like the 3-5 and i like rodriquez. i just think they will have a tough time getting national recognition playing in the big east now and i think they will revise the bcs and the big east will no longer have an automatic bid

coach,,,,,brandon snow is probably gonna start at middle line backer this year as a sophmore. just so u know. psu has an excellent group of young lb's

First of all ol buddy, they just did the bcs contract and the big east has a bid for 6 MORE YEARS, second do you have an idea who is head of the bcs his name is Mike Trangese, and do you know what conference he is president of the Big Least as you called it i believe so i highly doubt if he is gonna let the automatic bid go away. Now im gonna talk about recruiting, WVU is gettin back to their roots and recruiting pa again, this stopped when Rod took over, but we get players from the south and we get props because the acc and secc doesnt accepted prop players. If you would like i could name some players that chose wvu over the great psu.

Grant Wiley, All american linebacker, joe pa wanted him to be a full back.
Adam Lehnort, chose wvu over psu a blue chipper out of high school
Ben Lynch, chose wvu over psu and ohio state
Quincy Wilson got offered by about every school in the us

those are just some players now i will talk about our players we got from the south, and we got them away from LSU Oklahoma FSU and Florida

QB Pat White in this years class MR. Football in the Bayou State verbaled to LSU and backed out and signed with us on signing day

Chris Henry offered by LSU, Miami FSU to name a few

KJay Harris offered by Oklahoma

If that isnt big time recruiting I dont know what is, so you better dive back into the net and the encyclopedias and do some research before you start talking about something that you know NOTHING about.

[Coach]

Nice post....I forgot about Prop players.

[HOLLYWOOD]

Nice Post Palerider, Good O'l Buddy is out in space and I wish he would come back onto earth. He is an expert of nothing and a mouth full of everything. We will see who has a better year and gets more out of their players this season ok? a 5-star recruit can be a flop and a 1-star player can be all-american so you can take your ratings and just shove them because they mean nothing. So if PSU gets all these great players then where are the wins at? I see plenty of WINS at WVU, so they must be doing something right right? You will never see a more intense staff than Rodriguez's at WVU anywhere college or pro.

[Coach]

It is better to have so called "better" recruits, which PSU is getting over WVU. The statement you made is the best one you've made though. It is what you get out of those guys that matter. Their HS accomplishments mean nothing and what happens NOW is what matters in college sports.

PSU has its wins, so don't go down that route again please. Having a few bad years doesn't take away from all the great ones no matter how you spin it. Every year is a different year, hopefully PSU gets more out of the players there this year and they do something. WVU is my Big East favorite, and I see them winning 9+ games with that new schedule. If they really play well it could be a BCS disaster. Like it or not the Big East is going to be on the level of Conference USA this year. If a CUSA team goes 11-0 their is hesitation and doubt about whether they should go to the national title. WVU has few tough opponents this year. Pitt should be down, Syracuse hasn't been that tough lately, and BC may be the best BE competition that WVU plays this year. Hypothetical situation...WVU goes undefeated and there are two 1 loss teams from the SEC and Big 12 and ACC even in Miami, Tennessee, and Oklahoma. Should the undefeated Eers go to the title game or should the 1 loss team from loaded conferences go? I'm not being a jerk or anything (IF PSU WAS WVU AND IN THIS SITUATION I'D SAY THE SAME THING)...I'm not sure WVU gets to the title game. Their schedule is just that bad in my opinion.... The other conference schedules are brutal, and I think placing WVU in any of them would result in a 2nd place finish or lower in each. Think about it without being an alumni or anything. I know 0 losses is the key component and argument, but the competition level is FARRRRRRR different. Just a thought....

The best team goes to the BCS title game, bottom line. WVU is going to a good bowl game this year. I don't know about PSU though. I bet they make a bowl but they don't have the toughest schedule in the world either. I love how everyone goes to the schedule and conference now but what about when Miami and Virginia Tech in the conference it was good. Look at the bowl record of the Big East pretty good vs all conferences. I just wish and hope WVU plays Penn St. soon and get this over with, to see who is better. I know who it is too.

[AUSTIN_22:22]

i dont know that the best team goes to the bcs title game. last year kinda proved the flaws w/ that bottom line. the bcs is a flawed system that will be fixed sometime in the future, so even tho the big east has signed that deal w/ the bcs, the current bcs may not be around to fullfil the entire length of that contract. the new big east was formed to be a basketball conference first and football conference second, so it seems.

i try not to get too caught up in which school a prospect picks over another school. there are so many factors that go into the choices that guys make in school. it's silly to worry about some 5-star player chosing wvu over psu. it would be nice if all the 5-star guys were lining up to play at penn state. that is not realistic. i would just like to see that the guys that choose psu are really committed to being the best player they can be while in happy valley. i think that some guys in the past couple years that psu has signed are not living up to their end of the deal.

I am absolutely amazed with this discussion. To compare WVU to PSU, past, present, future, and suggest WVU is better is insane. WVU plays no one. What is the record of the mighty Mountaineers against Big Ten teams in the past decade? Both Wisconsin and Ohio State took them to the woodshed recently. What is the bowl record of the mighty Mountaineers in the past, oh let's say, twenty years? I love how their fans brag up Rodriguez. What has he done? As someone mentioned earlier, if you cannot win at least 8 or 9 games playing their schedule, then why bother. There games are fun, to be sure, but to compare them to PSU in anyway is crazy.

[HOLLYWOOD]

Yeah no need to compare gamedays because WV kills the Lions in all aspects.
