So after an easy victory last weekend, the 2-0 West Virginia Mountaineers will host the Maryland Terrapins this Thursday. So what do you guys think of this match-up? Can WVU go to 3-0 this week? Anyone going to the game?

Whats all this thursday stuff. WVU is going to win of course. Is it going to be on TV?

its eithe ron espn or espn2, thurs at 730 and i love night games, its usually real loud. And maryland always seems to be pesty with wvu decent bit of rivilvary between the two.

[mervinout]

I dont know if your people know this or not. But steve slaton when he was being recruited verbally commited to maryland, but they ended up pulling the scholarship offer. they say that got commitments from two many rb's and needed more o-linemen.And slaton has stated before this year that he really wanted to attend marlyand before he even started getting recruited. I got a feeling we will see 180+yards and two tds from slaton this week.

Oooh... did not know that, mervinout. Revenge game for Slaton, eh? Watch him go for 200+ yards now against the Terps! Game's tonight; I'm especting a fairly convincing WVU win here, not a blowout but something like 28-10. How about you?

[mervinout]

ya thats wat im expecting too. The serise between marlyand and wvu is at 21-21-2 obviously in the favor of neither

[mervinout]

slaton= not fair

schmidt is a great change of pace and is a beast

and 4 turnovers by our very young def even better.

45-24 but the game was over at the end of the 1st 28-0

slaton best player of the day

195 on 21 carries, 2 tds

Were running out of couches over here! Nybody got any extras?

Big win, but I can't say I'm impressed - too many penalties and mental mistakes by WVU once they got the big lead. Coach Rod needs to get these guys focused on finishing off their opponents, because they just don't have any killer instinct at all right now.

[mervinout]

if they wanted to they could but when wvu has the big lead they dont go for the death blow, they grind it cause no matter wat they will stay ahead, and there by far better condtioned the majority of d1

You want nasty,wait for the Pitt game, I've never know a WV coach to grind a team, except for Pitt.

You call it what you want, i can't on here. I just wish we could of had a coach Rod years ago, a coach that vauled each player. Not many agree with me, probably no one, Nahlen screwed WV, by playing favoritism. There were times when I felt the rest of the players just said the h*ll with it, that guy so great let him play all 11 spots.
