Good morning VolNation! I am a die hard West Virginia sports fan. Like you all, every year brings new hopes and expectations into our programs (of course I believe we are going to go undefeated and win the national championship).
This year should be interesting because we have such high expectations and a lot of returners on offense. However, every year when we have big expectations something bad happens. For instance, in 2012 we started 5-0, but finished the season 7-5. We were one win away from going to the National Championship in 2007, but we do not talk about that day. We have a saying in West Virginia that "West Virginia will always break your heart". No matter what the sport it seems like they always find some way to come up short.
In recent years, defense has been our #1 problem. I have no clue what to expect from them this year. However, I do expect them to be better than last year. I don't know how much better, but they have to be. We received transfers from USC and Clemson to help us on our defensive line and apparently they have looked good in practice. Also, we have a freshman 4 star recruit (yes four stars are a big deal for us) that has been turning heads in practice. The linebackers will be solid led by David Long (this guy can play). The biggest question mark will be the secondary and who knows how they will produce.
Every fan base has their bad eggs, but that's what makes college football so exciting. Our happiness is determined by what 18-22 year olds do on a football field. I believe this game will be extremely close. I do not think we will beat you all by three touchdowns (even though it would be nice). I expect you all to be well prepared and pumped up to play. I expect the final score to be WVU 38 Tenn 30, at least I hope.
I just wanted to wish you all best of luck and hope both teams stay injury free. I have a tremendous amount of respect for your fan base. Through thick and thin you stay behind your team. When WVU loses a few games the stands begin to become less and less filled, but you will always see Tennessee's stadium full even if they are 4-8.
If you all have any questions about WVU, please feel free to ask!
LET'S GO MOUNTAINEERS! AND EAT **** PITT!
