WVU entered elite company with its win last night. With that exciting-last-second 30-27 win over the Bulls, WVU became one of only 14 teams with 700 wins. Think about that for a second. 700. WVU is also one of only 3 teams to have had at least 9 wins in the last 7 seasons (the other two are VPI and Boise State.) As we are sitting in our favorite seats for tomorrow's game let us not forget what our beloved Eers have accomplished dating back to the time they were referred to as the Snakes. We have participated in 2 Sugar Bowls, 2 Fiesta Bowls, 7 Gator Bowls, and 4 Peach Bowls. We have had wins in all four of those storied games. We have had wins over Oklahoma, NC State, Texas Christian, Georgia, Florida, and Georgia Tech on New Years+ Bowl dates. Though some on here think it is appropriate to continue to disparage the Old Gold and Blue the truth is that our program is in pretty exclusive company when it comes to the 700 win milestone. The members of the 700+ Club: Michigan, Texas, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Ohio State, Nebraska, Southern California, Alabama, Tennessee, Penn State, Georgia, LSU, Auburn and West Virginia.
Tomorrow we need all of Eer Nation behind those silly Bearcats. May they acquire their 5th conference win and send us to another New Years Day+ Bowl just in time to begin our next 700 wins.
