the big east is pathetic

first they have all of their "top" teams lose week 1... Now WVU is down 2 scores in the second quarter to marshall.

You could honestly put the mwc 1s vs the big east 1s against each other and I dont' think we lose a single game til we get to the wyomings and new mexicos of the world,,, even then I think they have a chance.

wyoming could certainly beat villanova, who will soon be big east... Pathetic.

It was my secret hope that Hair was working a deal to combine conferences with the Big East and we'd have the MWC division and the Big East division, and our conference championship would determine who got the BCS bid. It would be a perfect plan, because the Western teams would completely dominate.

so in under 2 weeks it appears that pitt, uconn, cinci, and wvu could all have losses.

Ugh I cant believe the winner of this conference automatically gets a bcs bid

21-6 Marshall in the 4th quarter.

Marshal just got a fumble on the 15 yard line. They are manhandling WVU, their highest ranked team. Maybe they should have invited them to the conference too.

manhandling, yes. But marshal just lost the ball on the 5 yard line. WV is still breathing......barely.



I don't see the marshal defense giving anything up though. Good for the herd. What a background for this game.

would a WV win make the big east a better conference? does anyone care?

how many prevent defenses will be broken before that system is just given up?

Marshall blew it in countless ways tonight.

absolutely.

And now I can't even stomach to watch the utep houston game because of the "announcer". Sorry ladies, the booth is not for you.

West Virginia should still drop out of the rankings

Yeah, the only thing more pathetic than the Big Least is Marshall's ability to close out a game.

They didn't even blitz on the two point try. The dline just stood around watching. Both teams are poor excuses for d-1 teams and too bad WV pulled that out cuz they had no right to win it if not for Marshall giving them the game with such poor efforts. You can't take plays off and they were. Just plain sick. I'm with some of you, I don't even want to watch the next game because of how poor that one was and especially because of the announcers. This rivalry has been going on since the turn of the century oh but this is only the 10th meeting - once a decade does not make it a rivalry you dolts!

Amazingly pathetic game there wow. And the punchline...WVU stays ranked ahead of us for at least another 2 weeks no matter what. This system sucks.

Yeah, right. West Virginia will be lauded for their "clutch" play and will be rewarded in the rankings for pulling out a nail-biter on the road. Never mind that the team they barely squeaked by got absolutely trashed by the Buckeyes last week.

Unfortunately, "Should" doesn't = "will" in the BCS.



Even if BYU annihilates Air Force tomorrow, WVU will still be ranked ahead of BYU come next week, I guarantee it. The BCS will not have a top 25 that doesn't have at least one team from each conference.

USF from the Big LEast is playing with Florida... the game's tied with the 2nd quarter almost over, and the only reason Florida even scored is because they got an interception inside the 50. Did I mention that USF can't seem to throw the ball at all? If they could, they'd probly be up a couple touchdowns on Florida. What an amazing performance.
