Thanks to the Big East for terminating the relationship today... WVU will have to move on to much greener pastures. I thought that I would miss our "traditional" rivals more but quite frankly I am getting over that pretty fast. Take a look at what this season has to offer:
9/1 Marshall
9/8 Open Date
9/15 Neutral site DC: JMU
9/22 Maryland
9/29 Baylor
10/6 at Texas
10/13 at Texas Tech
10/20 Kansas State
10/27 Open Date
11/3 TCU
11/10 at OSU
11/17 OU
11/24 at Iowa State
12/1 Kansas
Some observations with the above slate. First off it may be the best schedule ever for a WVU squad. I would point out that WVU plays all games on Saturday for the first time in I can't remember how long. WVU gets to play a game in DC (fertile recruiting ground). Likely will be a WVU home-like crowd. 7 total home games. WVU shall have five conference home games. WVU shall get to play Texas Christian, Oklahoma in likely cold weather games. Extremely challenging schedule overall, but amplify that with back to back tilts in state of Texas. Oklahoma State on the road is no picnic. I am guessing the giant-killing Cyclones are looking forward to welcoming WVU as well. To say I am excited about this season would be a huge understatement.

O, this is going to be fun!
I'm personally looking forward to the opportunity to see TWO top-notch matchups between Syracuse and Rutgers.
I would think that Syracuse and Pitt could use the upcoming season's sorry excuse for a conference to decrease the buyout penalty from what WVU paid and leave early. If WVU were forced to play Rutgers or anyone twice because someone left, I'd be pretty furious.
After contemplation and following last nights big win by the basketball team at Pitt, I'm quite disappointed that the rivalry doesn't seem possible in the foreseeable future in football.
