WHY?

Who the hell voted for Pat White? If it was “The Tandy,” I’m gonna ban him, so he can’t lay the wood on anyone anymore.

Leave no doubt tonight! Leave no doubt tonight! No doubt! They shouldn't of played the Old Gold'n Blue.

The #2 qb might be interesting between rasheed, bednarik, hales and jarett brown. I would take Charles hales.

by The 25314 on Dec 18, 2009 3:35 PM EST via mobile reply actions  

I emphatically second Charles Hales

   A qb that never got a fair shake due to the product’s ego.

I lol'd....

….when I Saw this. I was wondering who would vote against Pat.

by ShadyMountaineer on Dec 18, 2009 3:43 PM EST reply actions  

My #2 pick would be Rasheed Marshall. 5th in career passing yards, 3rd in career passing TDs, 3rd in career QB rushing yards, and second in both QB rushing TDs and total TDs.

give rasheed his due

the guy was a two time (i belive) BE offensive player of the year. Rasheed couldn’t throw accurately across the middle but he was a hell of a mountaineer. Dude got a raw deal in san fransisco. What a player.

by eers2snow on Dec 18, 2009 3:58 PM EST reply actions  

He was a one time big east player of the year. In 2004 when there were only 7 big east teams. How did he get a raw deal in SF?

To Rasheeds credit, he was the qb who turned the program around and was very solid and generally mistake free. Rasheed had the misfortune of being compared to fellow Pittsburgher major Harris while he played and then pat white once he was finished.

I can't believe PW #2 is trailing PW #1

PW #3 is also very under-rated by the pollsters on this board.

by IB4WV on Dec 18, 2009 5:35 PM EST reply actions  

I chose Pat #3, which I interpreted as the junior year version of Pat.

I thought Rasheed was the BE POY twice also, but I looked it up and The 25314 is right, it was only in 2004. Larry Fitzgerald won it in 2003, which I probably would have realized had I thought about it. But Sheed did have a nice career, and I’d have to take him after Pat, if only based on the fact that he started for 3 years and led the charge back to national significance.

While I was researching, I came across this bit of trivia—-let’s see who can guess it without cheating:

Name the only WVU player ever to win Big East Defensive POY honors.

by Country Roads on Dec 19, 2009 7:43 AM EST reply actions  

Yep, good work.

While we’re on trivia, how about some help with this:

I was just watching highlights from the Pitt game and they showed WVU’s all-time record in OT games as 4-3. Can anyone recall all the OT games?

Pitt 1997 (LOSS)
Maryland 2004 (WIN)
Louisville 2005 (WIN)
Rutgers 2006 (WIN)
Colorado 2008 (LOSS)
Cincinnati 2008 (LOSS)

I’m obviously missing a WIN in there somewhere.

by Country Roads on Dec 19, 2009 1:29 PM EST up reply actions  

2OT win @ Rutgers in 2000.

Talk about an insignificant game, no wonder I didn’t remember it.

by Country Roads on Dec 19, 2009 1:49 PM EST up reply actions  

I have been in attendance of every overtime game in mountaineer history. Does that make me a better fan than everyone else? Probably. Does that mean all my opinions are facts? I would have to think so.

by The 25314 on Dec 20, 2009 6:28 PM EST via mobile up reply actions  

Actually

That is pretty impressive. I missed Colorado and Rutgers 2000. Would you have been able to name them off the top of your head?

by Country Roads on Dec 20, 2009 6:51 PM EST up reply actions  

Yes

but i’ve thought about it before…i am kind of like the rain man of wvu sports…except more socially awkward.
