PS: The approval rating image above is scaled down to fit on the page. By clicking on it, you'll reveal a lot more detail.
A new traditional (OK, it's the third installment, you better be used to it by now) feature this season/year at The Smoking Musket is a coaching approval poll, giving us a better understanding of just how strongly WVU fans feel about the job being done by the coaches. This poll will ask one single question: "do you approve of the job currently being done by Coach Bill Stewart and staff?" This will be the last pre-season poll (here you can find the June and July editions) with a new poll posted after each game of the season. We'll track the results, and hopefully, reach both enlightenment and total conciousness. Which is nice.
So, without further ado, here we go:

I'd only approve of what a WVU coach were doing...
… if he were losing to Syracuse and beating everyone else. So nope. Of course, we might need to put a better team in the Dome to make that more legit :).
Prediction for this Week:
WVU: 30
Liberty: 10
—I look for a decent performance from our defense w/ one interception returned for a TD
—WVU offense to be very average, if not below average
—The team to commit 1-2 turnovers
—The team to be flagged at least 10 times (w/ at least 4 holding penalties)
—A general feeling of malaise and “this is what we’ve been waiting for?” to permeate the stadium post-victory
Where is your seat?
I will gladly stand right next to you and cheer like hell everytime one of your predictions doesn’t come true. I might even bring a blow horn for emphasis.

Are you delusional?
You actually think I would support this athletic admin. and head coach. All of my WVU dollars are currently going to the Health Sciences/Medical dept’s. I changed my allocations after Bill Stewart was named coach. Once Pastilong leaves I’ll also gladly contribute some to Huggy-bear endeavors.
You’ve got to be kidding me w/ that question?
Let me get this straight.
You don’t buy tickets to watch the team you purport to be a fan of because you don’t like the coach? And you won’t support the basketball program because you don’t like the AD? That’s your prerogative, but good good grief. You may as well cut off your nose to spite your face.

Also...
Next time, just vote "no" and be done with the post.

Malaise?
Only if you’re the sole person remaining in the stadium. I’ll be in the Blue Lot drinking my face off.

I do note
That by drinking my face off, I may impede my ability to reach total consciousness. Quite the opposite, actually.

I fail to comprehend this grammatically challenged dribble…..Sounds like someone is already “drinking his face off”. Calm down, have fun and try this JUST ONE TIME…..have 2-3 beers before the game, have fun w/ friends/family and practice moderation w/ your alcohol consumption. You’ll still be able to enjoy!
Your intellectual high horse is a pony.
It’s not my fault you can’t use context to deduce the obvious. Next time I’ll try to spell it out for you a little better so your poor little brain doesn’t have to do so much work.
By the way, I don’t think I’m the one who needs to “calm down and have fun.” I enjoy my time supporting WVU football very much, at least until people like you come around and throw a cold glass of water on everything.

JUST ONE TIME...
try this and take your own advice. Just calm down, have fun and enjoy Mountaineer sports. Please for the love of all that is gold and blue.
The more you post the more I think you are just trying to be the negative voice of this site. Just try to be consistent. You are better than this

Did I miss something?
How exactly does ones approval rating drop 13% without even having played a game? All the meanwhile picking up eight commitments during that time span?
Did Bill Stewart not wear a hat on the sidelines or something? Maybe he used a folksy euphemism?
Oh well…on to September when meaningful judgement will occur.
I've been saying it all along
You can go back to when I started posting, I’ve always questioned WVUColumbus and his attitude and opinion towards WVU.
I wish I could go to all the games and support the team, coaches, etc.. But alas, I am unable to, so the games I do get to in person I show my support. When I can’t, there’s tivo, the radio, internet, somehow I keep in touch.
But to not support the teams you constantly post about, to just have this total Debbie Downer approach, to give your respect to, or your funds to…. Dude, seriously, I agree you should quit posting here and maybe go watch OSU. You’d fit in much better with those fans.
That said, I’m thinking 38-13, JB has 2 td’s passing, Devine has about 150 with a td. D gets a pick 6 and plays solid. Just want to see how well the O-line gels and the special teams does.

In fact
Any and all posts that I make in reference to WVU Columbus from here on out will refer to him/her as Debbie Downer.
I’d use other words, but I keep my comments more fan friendly and leave the hard core stuff to some of you who can use it more wisely.
