3-0 after winning in Charlottesville, and the room still made time to litigate private equity and Brent Venables.
The emotional rollercoaster
West Virginia fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
West Virginia went to Charlottesville and left with a 38-27 win, pushing the season to 3-0 and dropping the misery number from 76 to 29, which for this fanbase counts as giddiness. The turning point was the offense finally outscoring whatever anxiety the defense generated, though nobody sounded fully convinced; one fan still took a swing at Brent Venables as "a defensive genius and an offensive terrorist." Elsewhere the board argued about private equity and "evil ass people." Winning has not cured the suspicion, only postponed it.

“My biggest takeaway from this game is that it’s criminal that we don’t play regional rivalries really. VT, Pitt and MD should always be on the schedule. Those games mean so much more than Ok St. or TCU.”
