xavier grad here also from wva...for those making fun of wvu

[john in california]

and passing along the stereotypes, please note that xavier is in cincinnati and cincinnati is, by and large, a dump, as is most of ohio...cincinnati is probably the best city in ohio, but that is like being the tallest midget in the circus...cincinnati is the butt of jokes across the country, sort of like detroit and cleveland...think of this next time someone like bifftannen decides to castigate west virginia and use such things as the tired toothless references...like cincinnati or ohio has room to talk...i lived in cincy for 13 years and given the choice, i'd take morgantown, w.va. over it hands down...

also, making fun of patsy ramsey is just low...i am from her hometown and you cannot describe the hell she went through...classy move, biff...you make me proud to be a xavier grad...

John,
I fear WVA and Huggy Bear. I remember a couple of years ago when Bob Knight's Texas Tech team was upset by them in the Sweet Sixteen.
Still I believe that Sean will devise the better game plan, that is unless Jerry West regains his eligibility.
BTW, who will you be rooting for?

Is everybody in W. VA. so damn thin skinned..man I live in Kentucky and I could care less what is said. I guess I should be offended when someone calls Hamilton, Oh, Hamiltucky. I'm sure there are many beautiful places in W. Va...but your always going to have those stereotypes. Maybe we should get into the your mother jokes.

[letsgoxu]

man, the people from w.va who have been posting are extremely sensitive. I'm from Detroit, a city you mentioned as the butt of jokes and couldn't care less what you have to say about my city.

Seeing the sensitivity of people from West Virginia on this board and the Michigan boards after the hiring of Rich Rodriguez is mind boggling to me.

ok...touche...just mentioningit...the slam on patsy ramsey was out of line, though...rodriguez is a completely different case than say, john beilein...nobodymisses beilein...roddy was dissed because he was so dingenuous when he left...plus, he left about, i dunno, a week after he insisted he was going nowhere and wvu was his dream job...turns out, he was talking to meecheegun for several weeks before that...anyway, no one wants him back, either...just not wishing him any luck in meecheegun...and he'll need it...

thad matta did the same thing to xu when he bolted to ohio state, but matta wasn't a homeboy like rodriguez was...roddy's ego is out of whack...he suffers from acute narcissism...

[john in california]

but have been a wvu fan for more than 40 years...so...i am rooting for wvu...that being said, wvu is the only school for which i would root over xavier, so losing this game would be better than i felt after wvu blew a 20-point lead against louisville in 2005 and lost in OT for a trip to the final four...as an xu fan, losing to duke in the elite eight in 2004 was almost as disappointing...the refs cost xu that game...imgaine that, refs giving duke the calls at the end?

That's your opinion. Most people who know college football would say he made a career move based on moving UP the food chain of college football. Michigan or West Virginia? No contest.

The behavior of some WVU fans was unforgivable.

Xavier grad here...what's your handle good buddy?? What a lame a$$ title for a post--who are you, BJ and Bear?? Just "git" some flapjacks on the griddle, throw on one of "dem" checkered shirts and throw on the John Denver 45.....everything will be all right.

The 'Nati a "joke"?? Ohio a "joke"?? This coming from the state that gave us that Klan member, eeeerrrrr, Senator Robert Byrd? C'mon Elmer, but I bet you mouth is real purty, banjo boy!

dickrod has been a classless turd since he became part of tsun, it started by calling a high school recruit to tell him he was now the coach of michigan...before he told the wvu team, he proceded to destroy the bulk of wvu football personnel files and is in the midst of a heated lawsuit over remaining financial obligations

as a OSU fan i have always revered michigan, Michigan has been one of the classiest programs in college football, and i undestand carr can't beat tressel but in making sure they got a big national name they lost touch with the integrity of the program

rrod reeks of ncaa violations and is already 1 down to tressel...see terelle pryor
