The Sock 'Em, Bust 'Em Board Because that's our custom

Attention conspiracy theorists

Finally, fuel for the fire that burns deep inside those of you who believe the ambiguous “they” are out to get West Virginia University.

Can a team that has done so much good for the Big East actually be the most hated team in the conference?

After the ACC raided the Big East for three of its teams in 2004, West Virginia put the league back on college football’s map by upsetting Georgia 38-35 in the 2006 Sugar Bowl (which was played in the Georgia Dome). Last season, the Mountaineers routed Oklahoma 48-28 in the Fiesta Bowl, giving the new-look Big East even more credibility.

But the Mountaineers still gets fans’ blood boiling more than any other Big East team.

Personally, I would have guessed Notre Dame.
