I just saw the WVU football schedule
4 tough games- Maryland, ECU, and Virginia Tech.

And Pitt because it is an intense rivalry no matter how bad the teams are.

It's nice to have Temple in your conference. Heh.

1. I Would Replace BC For ECU As a Tough Game....
ECU was 1-11 last season and although they should be improved WVU should be able to win that handily. It's a shame what happened to the Big East but WVU can't concern themselves with that. They have a much easier road to the BCS with Miami gone. BC should have a pretty decent squad this year but they have not won a game in Mo'Town since 1986 and I don't expect them to start this year.

2. ECU usually plays WVU hard
Edited on Tue Aug-17-04 05:17 PM by Cobia
Anyway BC is picked second in the BE and then they jump ship to the ACC next year.

We will be getting Louisville and Cincinatti in the future.

5. Let's gooooo Mountaineers!
Ah, for the days when we played Penn State every year.

Okay, so we usually lost. But when we did win, we got to riot in Sunnyside!

Sunnyside is a shadow of its former self. Mutt's and Dr. John's are still there, though.

GO MOUNTIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7. Does Temple still play at Soldier Field?
The opposition up there is not near so bad as the injuries from that turf.

8. You meant Veterans stadium, I think,
as Soldier field is in Chicago.

Well, Veterans stadium is gone now, right?

Info online says they play at "lincoln financial field." That's the Eagles new digs too, right?

9. Oh...You Mean Veteran's Stadium In Philly...
no, they tore the Vet down...Temple and the Philadelphia Iggles both play in the new Lincoln Financial Field (below)


Temple is not a real good team...but...they have a terrific QB named Walter Washington...Temple has one running play...QB draw.

11. Oregon State has the toughest schedule
So says College Football News. Not good news.
http://www.collegefootballnews.com/2004/Preview/2004_Schedule_Strength.htm

Schedule: at LSU (2.63), at Boise State (22.25), New Mexico (64.25), at Arizona State (23.13), California (18.5), at Washington (25.25), Washington State (45.75), at Arizona (34.13), USC (1.25), at Stanford, (37.75), Oregon (22.25)

And Boise State doesn't look too easy either for the Beavs. What with them being pissed off about a close loss at OSU last year (controversial too!) and ruining their opportunity at an undefeated season. Not to mention it's at Boise on that Stupid Blue Turf!

Of course Oregon has the weakest schedule of the Pac-10. Bastids!
