Matt, turn off the game now. It'll forever be 3-0 in your mind.

I took the family to some Halloween thing at Idlewild on Saturday. Didn't see any of the game.

Other than being a frustrating loss, it was a good game to watch. The defense played well - with Long back in the game. I had a fear that TCU would just go wild on offense. That definitely did not happen.
We must’ve started inside inside our 5 yard line 4 or 5 times. And we consistently dug ourselves out of that hole. We started there because their punter had the unique ability to drop punts on the 5 that bounced perfectly.
I witnessed the craziest play where out returner called fair catch but was creamed by a TCU punt team but that guy was blocked into him and they recovered. I’ve not seen anything as odd.
We got called for offensive interference on a drive and the replay showed the TCU defender hanging on Sills’ Jersey.
And Finau-ly a WV int that would have stopped a score was ruled an INT on the field. However this was overturned and I think the non-TCU consensus is that there was definitely no conclusive evidence that our guy was Out of bounds.
What I am saying is the defense played well and we had lots of chances and probably should have won the game. Even though we have 2 losses, I feel better about our team.

Yeah, I definitely think we probably won't finish last in conference now. Have a great chance at bowl eligibility, too.

For a half anyway.
This is a toughie. I know there was chatter on the broadcast and online to catch it, but the rule used to be beat into everyone that if you stand on the 10 and it's over your head Let. It. Go. That punter was just unreal.
On review we definitely fucked ourselves. It's not that crazy of a play - I figure it happens at least once a season at this level. I've seen it in the pros. Our kicking game was far crazier than that play (or depressive, take your pick). We have NO ONE who can fucking kick the ball.
Someone needs to burn in Hell for eternity. That was a shit call.
I don't think he had fully established control with the foot down, but that's my gut feel. I also don't think the replay was conclusive enough to reverse the call for either outcome. If they had called it incomplete initially I don't think there was enough on tape to call it clean.

I think that I would be a bigger football fan if the season was played in the dead of winter and all of the games were away games.
I've got other stuff to do when its nice outside and also the traffic in morgantown for game days makes me disproportionately grumpy.
I don't have any travel plans this weekend, though, so I predict that I will watch at least some of the game.

You'll learn ways around the traffic the longer you live here as a non-student.
Tomorrow's predictions:
15% of the assigned seat holders will forget what color their section is supposed to wear and fuck up the Striped Stadium. Student attendance will be shitty enough that the upper deck section closest to Ruby will be 2/3 empty. Tony will call a play a touchdown when none is actually scored. One of the male cheerleaders will drop a female requiring a trip to Ruby in the second half. Likewise, an alumni band member will pass out from the heat and be taken to Ruby. TV will show at least five shots of Grier sinfully tossing his hair on the sideline. The stupid new Mike Puskar statue will be on camera at least once.

I live in suncrest and work in bridgeport....i get around the traffic well enough...it just annoys me. Like i said, my response is disproportionate to the traffic. I just hate them all.
I guess we should win tomorrow. Might be close but I feeel like we should roll.

I had only included this as a winnable game bc it was at home.
Did we already beat kansas? I think baylor is the only "winnable" game left.
3rd and 24 at the 7. Should punt.

I had to work most of the day Saturday (ISO Audit Monday...ugh!) so I missed all but the 4th quarter. We looked awesome as far as I could see...

Yeah, we're pretty awesome I guess. Ranked again... something like 23rd in both polls.

Next up the Fighting Rapists from Baylor. I know nothing about them but expect to be yelling at my TV well into the 2nd half.

It's fitting since we've been raped both times we went there. 73-42 and 62-38.

They are awful. They are 0-6. They lost to the Liberty Flaming Falwells. Vegas has us as only about 9 point favorites.
I suppose being favored by 9 or 10 AT Baylor is a big number...but they are so bad.

We were like a 28 point favorite that day, before Pat White tragically died mid-game and remained dead to me forever as dead people do, of course.
