wvu is a border rival w/ md. they play often, if not every year.
:chickenshit: is what it is....
FSU isn't being questioned on their scheduled toughness if WVU doesn't back out of it's game with us in June this year, leaving us no time to fill. FSU reached out to Oklahoma, who had a week 2 open, but they picked someone up forcing us to keep looking.
Auburn did this back in 99 season when we had a loaded team (eventual national champions) That was the year that was supposed to be the first father son matchup with Terry bowden at AU against bobby bowden at FSU. But Terry got released and then auburn bought out of their contract, forcing FSU to pick up UL-Monroe. Auburn said it was because their was no need for the game and had it's politically correct excuse, but really, it was because FSU was legit and AU was scared.
WVU staff knew FSU was legit this year, and used a new conference excuse to save face. But seeing that they still played a weaker ACC team screams volumes of WVU's real reason for buying out the game.
When does the BCS come out? I'm seeing predictions that have FSU at #8 or so....
