Luck has done so much to help generate revenue and keep WVU relevant.
Five years ago, playing 'Bama would have excited me, I would see a chance to yet again prove the ESPN talking heads wrong. NOW this game scares me, a lopsided loss on a national stage would set us back, plus taking a beating both mentally and physically, could mean disaster for many games to come.
Looks like DAD has forgotten that WVU opened up the '94 season playing Nebraska in Giants Stadium getting their ass whipped by one of the best teams of the 90's... and, that season's NC.
WVU went on to have a pretty good season... playing in a bowl game against USCe.
More stupid bullshit from DAD...
I seriously doubt a loss to Alabama would have any negative impact on your program. It's a game you are expected to lose from the start, so it's not going to be a big deal at all if that happens.
If you were expected to win and then suffered a lopsided loss, that would be a different story.
Looks like BB has forgotten what Nehlen said was one of his better teams going into the season, a team that he said would have competed for the "title", yet finished 8-4, because they started out playing OSU and taking a physical thumpin. By the way, when did 7-6 become a good season, I thought 9-4 was pure failure.

It is when you get beat by PITT, Colorado, Cinncy USF, EAST CAROLINA and Syracuse as part of your losses !!

A team that would have competed for the title? But, they couldn't beat tOSU on their home field?
OK DAD!
7-6 has to be considered a pretty good season when you play 3 year-end ranked teams, 5 teams that were ranked through the season, and you lose a large senior class that contributed to WVU's second undefeated regular season it is history.
And… oh yeah… don't forget…
The poor fellas on that '94 team had to overcome disaster…

You must not have read Nehlen's book.......... Both teams, 1994 and 1998 were mentally and physically beat down by playing Nebraska and OSU, and it cost them through the season. Why can you not read what is written, rather than just jump??????
Look at the next three games in 1994, BB, that "good" season, a two point win against Ball ST, a loss to Rutgers!!!!!!, and a loss to Maryland, THEN an ass kicking by VPI, it took a month to get back on track.
I have Nehlen's book in my den. I do not see any reference to either game in his book.
What have I not read????????
