Morgantown – One of the good things about being a dinosaur is not writing a story on Monday, but enjoying situations where almost instantaneous reader reactions to what was written may appear on Tuesday I was able to stay for so long that I could. I wrote a letter on Wednesday and sat in the postal system until it was delivered on Friday.
As I want to get some kind of response to my feelings about the West Virginia schedule, assigned to a game previously announced by the Big 12 Conference and given Rich Rodriguez’s first season and given it a shape and shape on Tuesday. , I will provide it. A roadmap for second career success.
First, it offers the demonic scheduling of Rodriguez returning to the crime scene – to be performed on Saturday, September 13th, facing Pitt in a backyard brawl at Mountaineer Field.
Or, in the shorthand for transcribing the date, the game is set to 9/13, but considering WVU and Pitt played last with Rodriguez as coach, Pitt is already latching heavily. The facts were recorded as 13-9.
I’ll talk about the signs.
Or is it an incentive?
It was the first time I jumped off the page, but not the last.
As wise observers study the schedule, one of the first things they see is Goodbye Week. This is a theme that was properly handled by Greg Hunter from Blue Goldnake. Later in the season, before the final game – they weren’t really an advantage or disadvantage.
However, placing the first one on the weekend of October 11th came off in such a way that it served a dual purpose. Half of them were welcome, and the other half were evil.
Coming that weekend, the league not only managed to put two road games in a row for the climbers, but also on Friday October, it was a trip to BYU in Provo, Utah. 3 and a trip to play Central Florida in Orlando on Saturday, October 18th.
We made it less grueled to go on a succession of game trips to Provo and Orlando. The distance between the two venues is 1,906 air miles or 34 hours by car.
That’s the good news.
It’s bad news and this is unwelcome news for WVU fans. This means Mountaineer Field will be open from September 27th to October 25th at the heart of the football season. The designated homecoming game.
From the end of September to the end of October, when such football and tail withdrawals are underway, it’s as good for the spirit of whom in a town that loves football as WVU exists. I don’t understand.
However, the game is most intriguing in what we consider to be a rather Hoham non-meeting movement between WVU and Ohio University, besides the backyard brawl that is off the board in this year’s plot.
Now, if it’s Ohio, yeah, maybe I could explain why it’s not only being played, but also being played in Athens, Ohio.
Athletic Director Shane Lions appears to have abdicated in favour of Lenbaker (looks like Gordon Sie’s best athletic legacy). The first of these three games allows for the first game to be played on the road by mountaineers.
Now the Lions were never known for their ability to read the future well, but this was 2021, but the country just came out of COVID. Ohio University had just replaced Frank Solich with Tim Alvin and was about to make it into the 3-9 season.
Alvin was on the Ohio staff from 2005 to 2220, shocking everyone when Solich retired. The job was given to Alvin. Alvin built a group of five powers after that first struggling season, becoming 20-4, 10-3 and 10-3, winning two Mac titles.
He led his team to Cure Bowl last season, but resigned before the bowl game and took a head coaching job at Charlotte, missing out on the chance to beat Jacksonville State.
Ah, yes, last year the coach at Jacksonville State was Rich Rodriguez.
Now, Rodriguez has to deal with Ohio U. on his home field. He almost put together through the portal and slotted the week before the super electric revenge game with Pitt.
It’s set to be a trap game, especially since the Bobcats are WVU’s oldest rival, and is one of the series that dates back to 1897, even if there is one.
WVU has led the series 14-3 and has not played since 2001.
This was Richrod’s first victory as a climber coach.
