I think they'll have a much tougher time on the road than they think in the big 12, they are explosive on offense but remember almost across the board the defenses in the big 12 are designed to stop teams like them. They are really, really good on offense but we've seen offenses like that multiple times a year for a long time.

This is the part I don't get. I realize not everyone in the student section is a huge sports fan, and its more of a social event.

Well, most of these kids would tell you that tailgating is one of the best social events of college, and some of the wildest partying.

Why would these same people who seem to love tailgating and go crazy for it the rest of the year not come back to college a couple days early? It always blew me away how people could/can just be homebodies sometimes. In college, 5 days home was enough for me.

I left because dorms were closed and I was poor, what is the status on the dorms?

In 2004 I was able to get in my dorm the Saturday of the Mizzou game as were my friends who came back. We didn't pay anything extra to do this.

I always remembered that the only time students couldn't get back into dorms was at semester break.

Yeah, the dorms weren't closed over Thanksgiving Break, but the dining centers were so you were on your own for food.

I really hope that with continued success in football that we can get more students to come to the games rather than stay home with mommy.

I really don't understand it. It's college. You get to be semi-independent and have limited responsibilities. Take advantage of it because after you enter the real world, you will wish you had it back.

Always seemed like you were on your own for food most of the weekend anyway, but maybe that was just me.

Problem. Solved.

The Bears lost a lot of talent, including Heisman winner Robert Griffin III, so the Mountaineers should win this game.
I also like WVU's chances at Oklahoma State. I'm sure the Cowboys will reload, but the offense will take a hit with the loss of Brandon Weeden, Justin Blackmon and Levy Adcock.
So that leaves games with Texas, Kansas State, TCU and Oklahoma as the difference between a Big 12 title and going 8-4 or 9-3. It's a bit pretentious to think WVU will win the Big 12 in its first season. The Mountaineers have more to learn about their new opponents then they have to do about WVU.
But it's clear West Virginia is in a better place, and you could say the same about the Big 12.
