maybe I should issue a news letter like Rush...instead of how to defeat a liberal, how to defeat an eerdiot. you just mention we've played a tougher out of conference road schedule, they jump all over it like fools, then you filet them.

email follows -

Starting 1997 since that's the first year MU was D-1. We'll start with wvu regular season road games (be careful reading this because I know how you eers hate reality) -
1997 - 1 - 4 (win over 2-9 Maryland)
1998 - 4- 1 (pretty good but only out of conference road win was 3-8 Navy)
1999 - 1- 5 (ouch, only win over crappy Pitt team)
2000 2 - 2 (wins over temple and Rutgers, whoopee)
2001 0 - 5 (ouch, life on the road is hard, includes 45-3 loss to Miami...damn looks like a nonBCS school score)
2002 4-1 (pretty good, but only time they went on the road out of conference, they lost to Wisconsin)

Out of conference only, road games follow.
1997 - 1- 1 (beat 2-9 MD, lost to 6 loss Notre Dame team)
1998 1- 0 (whoopee...beat mighty navy on the road, I'll bet that's a tough place to play)
1999 0-2 (lost to 5-6 Maryland team and....ECU aren't hey non BCS?? why on earth even go there)
2000 0 - 0 cupcake schedule no road out of conference games
2001 0-1 (slammed by Maryland...hey at least they were good this time)
2002 0-1 (lost to 6 loss Wisconsin team)

Now, throw in the bowl games on neutral fields. wvu is 1-3 since 1997 with all three losses to 5 loss teams. (looks like you had to sit out a few, I guess I'll find out what that's like this year)

Total Out of Conf road record 2-5 with only wins over Navy (3-8) and Maryland (2-9)
Counting bowl games record swells to 3-8.

In summary, no ranked wins, only 2 of the three wins are BCS teams and only one of the wins was over a winning BCS team (a 5 loss Ole Miss team). A side note, that win stopped the nations longest bowl losing streak.

Meanwhile Marshall has gone 5-6 out of conference road and neutral in the same time period. (notice I didn't even count this years win at #6 and B12 championship game participant KState which is the highest ranked road win (in or out of conference) for any D-1 team from the state of WV.) I'm sure you'd discredit many of MU's wins over nonBCS teams BYU (#25 at the time), ECU (they kicked your ass), UL twice (there your new conference mates), and UC (they're your new mates and kicked your ass this year). MU also lost to Mich State and NC who weren't that good that year, and beat S Car who wasn't that good in 98 either. Did get a good road win over Clemson who was bowl eligible and went to a bowl that year which certainly is better than both the regular season wvu wins over navy and Maryland and at worst comparable to the Ole Miss bowl win in 2000 (but that was a neutral site).

Look at this year and MU lost to Troy and Tenn on the road but beat #6 Kstate. WVU beat hapless ECU on the road and was pounded by Maryland.

Marshall's out of conference road performance has been better than wvu's. And you know what, I didn't see a ranked win for wvu, much less a top 10.

sodomization.
