West Virginia Joke Thread

We all have them. Some more printable than others. Share yours here. I'll start.

A guy wearing a West Virginia shirt walks into a bar with a parrot on his shoulder. He asks the bartender for a beer, and the bartender gives him one. Eyeing the parrot, the bartender says, "Hey, that's pretty neat. Where'd you get that?" The parrot responds, "Morgantown. They're all over the place!"

Even Miami players know playing in Miami sucks

This kind of stuff right here should be saved on all of our coaches phones and replayed for any recruit we go to visit. Even Hurricanes players know that their home atmosphere sucks. Enjoy your time in school some more and go play for a school that actually supports their teams and makes playing in your home stadium fun.

Tyrod Taylor suing Chargers Doctor

LINK

The lawsuit also accused Gazzaniga of "medical battery" and claims Taylor "did not have proper and accurate informed consent prior to the anesthetic injections" and thus "constituted a medical battery."

Good for him. I hope he wins.

WVU Week Pry Presser

As usual I feel like he's saying the right things. Biggest takeaways for me were his thoughts on the offensive side of the ball.

  • Wants us to run the ball better
  • Thinks we have been a little too predictable
  • What we've been seeing the last 2 weeks is what Wells is
  • (Paraphrasing) King should score twice a game

Week 3 Other Games Thread

The weekend got started with Florida State at Louisville last night. Defense optional in the first half, but both teams stepped it up in the second. I thought the Cardinals looked like the better team, but in the end, couldn't stop FSU's back-up QB (Travis went out with a leg injury after a sack) and sophomore 6'7" WR Wilson. That young receiver is a beast - averaging over 20 ypc in his first season.

This weekend, we've got ODU at UVA and Miami at TAMU.

What else are we watching today?

Future Opponents

I just read an article on ESPN stating that Tennessee and Georgia have to cancel their upcoming series against Oklahoma because they will now be SEC opponents. Would y'all like to see us play either team? Would they even consider us? Do we have any openings in the next few years anyways? Any insight would be great! Also if you got to pick an OOC opponent for us who would it be? Penn State for me and that was my answer before we signed Pry.

Virginia Tech a 39-point favorite over Wofford

We opened a 39-point favorite over Wofford (I've seen it at 38 or 39 depending on where you look).

I'm sure hoping that this is a game where we don't have to play a starter after halftime. Getting well-rested and injury-free in preparation for the WVU game five days later would be huge.

Wofford hasn't scored a point yet this season; they've been outscored by a combined 57-0 against Chattanooga and Elon. Hopefully the defense can continue to flex its muscles and continue the momentum.

For the offense, its a huge opportunity for the offense to get things figured out before West VA and the rest of conference play.

Cam Newton once considered picking Virginia Tech

We were definitely lucky to get Tyrod. Pretty sure they were same class (if I'm not mistaken).

This made me smile though - https://www.tmz.com/2022/09/13/cam-newton-eli-manning-tim-gunn-team-colo...

Yea that's right. TMZ on Key Play... Has to be a first! :)
