More ‘eers, more beards…
Now that some of the anxiety from the ‘Dark Victory’ of Saturday’s App. State game has ebbed, we can clear our collective psyches and prepare for the next set of Mountaineers. Clearly a bigger challenge awaits, and this promises to be an intriguing football match-up, but history is not on our side.
Mmmmm, I see we have .15 winning percentage against West Virginia…. and that drops by 15 percentage points for games in Morgantown…
West Virginia 17, ECU 3 H: 2-5, A: 0-12, N: 1-0 1970 WVU 28, ECU 14 H 1971 WVU 44, ECU 21 A 1981 WVU 20, ECU 3 A 1982 WVU 30, ECU 3 A 1986 WVU 24, ECU 21 H 1987 WVU 49, ECU 0 A 1988 WVU 30, ECU 10 H 1992 WVU 41, ECU 28 A 1995 ECU 23, WVU 20 H 1996 WVU 10, ECU 9 A 1997 WVU 24, ECU 17 A 1999 ECU 30, WVU 23 N 2000 WVU 42, ECU 24 A 2002 WVU 37, ECU 17 A 2003 WVU 48, ECU 7 H 2004 WVU 56, ECU 23 A 2005 WVU 20, ECU 15 A 2006 WVU 27, ECU 10 H 2007 WVU 48, ECU 7 A 2008 ECU 24, WVU 3 H
So yeah, it’s another tough assignment, another set of Mountaineers and another band of beards to tangle with this week and the football Bucs head to Morgantown as a seven point underdog.
*Last year’s 24-3 beatdown of the Mountaineers was the only season the Mountaineers finished with a winning season after losing to ECU. WVU finished 9-4 after stealing a 31-30 victory over UNC-Ch in the Meineke Car Care Bowl in 2008). The Mountaineers finished 5-6 in 1995 and 4-7 in 1999.
*Beating West Virginia has it’s rewards, as ECU has finished with exactly nine wins in each of the seasons ECU has won (1995; 9-3/1999; 9-3/ 2008; 9-5).
*After playing WVU for 12 out of the last 13 years (DNP 2001) this year’s matchup against WVU is the last on the schedule, at least through 2013. Next year’s OOC slate includes @Virginia Tech, @UNC-Ch, NCSU and Navy.
*A Pirate win on Saturday would mark only the second time in the last ten years ECU began the season 2-0 (2008; 3-0).
