West Virginia Preview

Let's get straight to the point, my hope of winning is at an all-time low, and there is no such thing as a moral victory in my book. That leaves me with no positive feelings, and zero excitement, so let's get this depressing game preview over with.

Why You Should Hate WVU

1. "Take Me Home, Country Roads" - For those of you who are unfamiliar with John Denver, watch this and get sick to your stomach. If you had to watch that to realize who John Denver was, because you have never heard the song, get out from under your rock and join civilization. Back to the point, as you can see from the video, WVU fans sing this after all victories. How can you not hate this?

2. Idiot Kickers & Pacman - Mike Vanderjagt and Adam "Pacman" Jones are some notable past football players who took the field in Morgantown. My opinion on Mr. Vanderjagt is much the same as Peyton Manning's -

"I'm about to go in and throw a touchdown to Jerry Rice, we're honoring the Hall of Fame, and we're talking about our idiot kicker who got liquored up and ran his mouth off."

Those comments were made at the Pro Bowl after Mr. Vanderjagt made some statements about Mr. Manning. This comment about a so-called idiot kicker may or may not be true, but saying somebody from West Virginia got liquored up and ran their mouth, and that they are an idiot doesn't seem like a far stretch to me.

Pacman on the other hand is famous for his love of strip clubs and squandering a professional career. Or perhaps you would like to remember Adam as I do - being hurdled by Tyler Palko. Either way, both of these men are hated, they are WVU alumni members, therefore as Card fans we can hate them a little bit more this week.

3. 2005 - Do I even need to add to what that says?

Why We Will Might Win

1. Victor Anderson, Darius Ashley, & Bilal Powell - These three players are form a great trio in the backfield. Vic being the all out force, Powell being the power back, and Ashley being the big speedster reserve. We have to be able to use these three, this sets up the pass and burns the clock to keep WVU's offense off the field. Big running game for us = better chance at victory.

Aside from that far fetched reason why we will win, I have no reason to believe we have a shot at victory. Let's face it, the next section on why we will lose could go on for days, and it took me an hour to come up with that reason why we might win.

Why We Might Will Lose

1. Our Offense is Terrible - The Cards rank 106th in Scoring Offense, and 68th in Total Offense. This, if nothing else, is offensive to all fans, and speaks volumes for Koach's decision to call every play. Really working out, Koach, really working out.

2. Noel Devine - I am scared that he can hang 300 total yards on us after watching that tape, rest assured that Mr. Devine will be featured in our nightmares (again).

3. Steve Kragthorpe - Koach cannot coach big games, small games, meaningless games, or any game for that matter. I have no faith in our gameplan, and I am fairly certain that we will be out of timeouts while still in the 3rd Quarter (I'm looking at you Cincinnati game).

Okay, I'm depressed and plan on being as drunk as a WVU fan by the time the 2nd Quarter starts. Thanks Koach for taking all of the excitement away from UofL football. To all of the Card fans driving to Morgantown, heed this signs advice -

GO CARDS!
