Let's Goooooooooooooo, Mountaineers!

[impressive]

Big East champs!

It'll be either the Orange Bowl (in Miami) or Sugar Bowl (in Atlanta this year) for the 'Eers.







(as you were)

Congratulations, IMP.

I'll be pulling for your West "By God" Virginia Mountaineers.

Thanks, Rumps.

They always embarrass themselves (and the rest of the state) in bowl games.

They call themselves the Eers?

*sigh* 'fraid so.

Look at the Bright Side

*sigh* 'fraid so.

Calling themselves "eers" beats hell out of calling oneself "Razorbacks" and cheering: "Suuuuuuu-E pig!" or calling yourself a "Domer" and believing that God actually controls the field goal attempts.

 

[cantdog]

Blasphemer. You mean God doesn't control something?

Sorry Imp, the Eers thing blindsided me. I especially like W Va., since I found out that "mountain" is a real dialect, like ebonics or leyland scots. People who speak mountain are just unintelligible without subtitles, or lots of experience interpreting it.

I don't understand it, myself. It's a blend of redneck twang and southern drawl with nothing resembling structured grammar.

Oregon's 'ducks' finished 5th in the BCS poll, a 10-1 season, only loss to number one USC...but Oregon didn't get a BCS bowl bid this year, something to do the last year and PAC 10 teams....Go Ducks!

What happened to Virginia Tech and the Miami Hurricanes? minor bowls also, I guess...

They jumped ship -- left the Big East 'cause it wasn't high brow enough for them any more.

Hurrah for my native (Texas is my adopted) state!
