I'd said from the beginning of this (as in, SU/Pitt to the ACC), that I would miss WVU more than any other school in the BE.  They are a worthy rival.  One that has provided many memorable moments in my lifetime as an SU fan.  I wish they were with us in the ACC, and I think it was a mistake by the leadership of the ACC to not invite them, whatever the thought process was behind that decision.

Looking backward on the past 10 months, I think that had the ACC invited WVU, there would be no discussion about the foothold that the ACC has in the new playoff system.  Throw in Louisville, and I would've been ecstatic.  That would've given the ACC two deep, well-run athletic departments.

Let everyone else fight for ND.  Let's get Miami and FSU to actually carry their weight.  They want to be flagships, start winning like one.  Golden is the right man for the job, if you ask me.  Jimbo's got talent, but can he harness it?  Clemson is Milli Vanilli (sp?).  They have no more cachet or history than SU or Pitt does IMO.  The reason people love the SEC is because they produce solid programs who win.  Starkville isn't a TV Mecca.  Nor are Baton Rouge, Tuscaloosa, Knoxville, Oxford, Auburn, Or either of the Columbias (East or West).

Shut up and win.  That's what this boils down to.  For all of us.  Just wish WVU was by our side for it.  The hillbilly jokes are cute, but at the end of the day,WVU was/is a fighter.
