Where Would a Bobcat Victory vs WVU Rank on Your All-Time Fanhood List?

Posted: 6/18/2025 10:11:48 AM

Now granted, this isn’t apples-to-apples, as I’m a lifetime WV resident, most of my family attended there (I got a Masters there as well) and are diehard Mountaineer fanatics—but this would be #2 All-Time for me considering the variables (not to mention NIL making the gap even larger as I think WVU is #27 in their collective).
Where would this rank for everyone if we could get this one, or not an All-Timer if
you don’t have the WV roots?

I would probably put it behind the win at Penn State in 20212, but certainly at the top of the list that follows.

The wins over Minnesota and Illinois were nice, but those are programs that have been lower tier in the BIG for a few generations.

I don't have any personal or family ties to West Virginia but as a G5 program, any win over a P5 program is a good notch in the belt.

The win over Iowa State in 2023 was probably the highest quality win from a national relevance standpoint the Cats had earned in a while, and this would maybe leap in front of that, although I think the Cyclones have been on a better run as of late than the Mountaineers.

What I would love to see is many 'neer fans who live in the Mid-Ohio Valley or other points closer to Athens come to the game, love their experience, and maybe come back to watch the Cats more.

It'll be the best win we've had until the following week when we beat Ohio State.

#1 for me will always be the 2024 MAC title game.

Recent victories...

1) Pitt - Walk-off pick 6 vs a ranked team at home? Don't get better than that. Frank game one vs a Pitt team that went to the Fiesta Bowl the year before, with 1st year Dave Wanstedt)
2) Penn State - OU scoring 21 unanswered points in the second half to secure the victory in front of 100,000 stunned fans.
3) Iowa State - Got em right before they got good in 2024. But right after we beat them that game they went on to be TCU, Cincinatti, Baylor in the next 4 weeks.

4) WVU - They're not very good, so it's a good time to pounce, but Rich Rod's 1st season back should be interesting. I think it's gonna be awesome for the city regardless, but would be an insane weekend if they won.
