So we’re at that point now where we no longer flip through record books for record-setting offense, but for recent fits of futility. The numbers are what they are and, oh, what they have not been for so many years at WVU. You wonder what happened and think crazy things, like, “What  if the center didn’t snap it past David Ash?”

But don’t do that. It’s in the past (!) and you now look at a three-game season … which, you’ll remember, is part of a five-game season that has thus far flopped. Oklahoma won’t be easy, though I need not tell you that now. Not after watching the previous four losses.

After that, though, are two of the so-called easier games on the schedule, games against teams actually below WVU in the Big 12 Conference standings. Not to say anything should be taken for granted when it includes going to Iowa State on a short week after whatever happens against the Sooners and then playing at home for about 48,000 people against a Kansas team that just won’t go away and so desperately wants that one conference win.

But this is supposed to be fun. Some nights, it has been. There haven’t been many of those nights lately, though you have three left. Won’t you join the Mountaineers in their quest for bowl eligibility?

I was never one to believe the hype, save that for the black and white. I try twice as hard and I’m half as liked, but here they come again to text my style. My edits are in [brackets].

(Also, I’ll put it out to a vote: Should I do the Good and the Bad? I’ll hang up and listen…)

3:34
Dear Lord, please help the Mountaineers not look ridiculous. Thank you. Amen.

3:39
Just like we drew up the first offensive series. Well done.

3:42
No iMac.  No defense.  This staff is starting to infuriate me.

3:42
Gonna be a long [football] game.

3:44
And so it begins……we go down, Geno panics, chaos ensues…

3:45
I think this staff works harder at keeping secrets than actually coaching.  F this.

3:46
Oklahoma State won’t blitz bc it knows WVU receivers can’t get open enough for Geno to complete it.

3:47
I haven’t seen scoring so fast since the Grant Ave. Block Party in ’93!

3:50
Meteorology professors don’t talk about the [fickle] wind as much as WVU. Stop crying & take accountability for this coat-hanger abortion of a season.

3:53
You think Texas wishes it could play WVU again?

3:53
ESPN2 announcer, struggling for talking points already, calls fact both teams use same punter/kicker “interesting,” which it is not.

3:59
I am unclear on what WVU needs in order to be successful with Holgorsen’s offense . . . besides everything.

4:00
Seriously, is WVU expected to ever get an appreciably better QB, OL, WRs, or RBs?

4:00
REMEMBER NOVEMBRGHRGB#@$!#@$!

4:04
This is a team that makes me think Holgorsen will run away at the end of the year if another school gives him the opportunity.

4:04
Okay, I’ll say it. Which QB was the Heisman frontrunner 3 weeks ago and which is the inexperienced junior who was named starter last minute?

4:05
Is Holgorsen doing his best to convince us that the Big 12 is an amazing conference?

4:07
The gray unis must be our kryptonite

4:08
I would offer some solutions, but I’m pretty sure nothing would work… on either side of the ball.

4:09
Good job accounting for deathly gusts by Okie State. Must be T. Boone’s wind tunnel paying off.

4:10
I’m the rare type of fan who will accept a moral victory, such as ABC not cutting away from our game before the end.

4:14
MILLARD FOR STARTER

4:14
Hallelujah!

4:14
In honor of the election, I vote for Millard Fillinmore!

4:15
Been saying it all year. Geno needs to buckle his f-ing helmet all the way.

4:15
#TEAMWHAAAAAAAAT?

4:15
QB controversy!!

4:16
#TeamBenchGeno

4:17
Wife: That was cool! We’re back in it. Me: We have to kickoff. Dog: (Flees room)

4:17
Yackety sax deforest

4:17
Put Millard on kick coverage

4:17
Did the stadium staff play 7NA before that kickoff?

4:18
Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh

4:18
I’ve seen all of these things happen before. How do you not coach against it happening again?

4:19
Well, that was a short lived moment of happiness

4:19
Not to say that was predictable in this apocalyptic season, but I went outside to feed the pale horse carrots before the kickoff.

4:19
Beautiful animal, by the way.

4:19
If someone said our offensive woes start and end with our quarterback, I wouldn’t necessarily disagree with them.

4:20
And Geno shows he’s a head case by going long on his first pass after Millard’s long TD.

4:27
WVU football has turned into COPS: on tv 4 hours every Saturday & features people being brutally beaten with no idea what’s happening to them

4:32
College replay == random-# generator

4:34
4th down? Millard time!

4:35
Sadly, I was hoping they’d put Millard in for that 4th and Goal.

4:35
No surprise Louisville lost to Syracuse. Halo 4 released this week.

4:35
I’m over Dana trying to be smarter than everyone…that’s another horse [carrots] call

4:36
#teamgoforit is not responsible for the content of the advertisement.

4:36
Instead of throwing tantrums all the time, maybe Coach Holgs should do some coaching. Or playcalling.

4:36
Mullen called & said Dana is getting predictable

4:36
I want every fan who screamed at Holgorsen was an obvious improvement over Stewart to apologize to me immediately. That play was the same one each of our

4:36
last three coaches would have called.

4:37
Probably failed on 4&goal to avoid kicking off again.

4:39
Okie st outta their mind not throwing out of end zone.

4:39
If I’m an opposing coach and I get backed up, I’m trying for a school record for longest TD.

4:40
I refuse to question Tavon’s tactics since he’s the only one doing anything positive.

4:42
Sigh. Helmet again.

4:42
I believe in Millardacles

4:46
Steve Wilkos and his officiating crew are doing a good job

4:47
Can’t wait for emergence of PAUL MILLARD FATHER

4:48
Trayvon scores!

4:53
Need more alcohol…

4:54
Are we even going to become bowl eligible?

4:54
This is their 3rd string QB. I’m done with _eForest.

4:54
I’m going to patent a t-shirt. On the front it will say, “I’m wide open because…” And on the back, “Pat Miller was here”

4:55
Again, I want personal apologies. These idiots can’t coach.

4:57
And we’ve got our Benny Hill highlight of the week!

4:57
Yakety Sax!

4:58
Looks like the Benny Hillifier is gonna get some more work this week….

4:58
In a bar watching the game. Strangers at three different tables just yelled “Yakety Sax!”

4:58
This is all on purpose, isnt it?

4:58
I hate this team.

4:59
Ask me about special teams, special teams.

5:01
#TeamJustGetBowlEligible

5:06
Bitancurt reminds us that he is reliable.

5:06
An uneventful, successful 41-yd FGA. What were you expecting?

5:10
The fact that the game isn’t figuratively over yet. . . is improvement.

5:10
God, he sucks a timeouting.

5:11
If I’m Oklahoma State, I make WVU or the clock stop me here.

5:24
If you did a top 10 most embarrassing special teams plays this season, what would be #10?

Deep thoughts by Jack Handy: are we becoming the Mizzou of the B12?

Oklahoma isn’t killing Baylor… Hope for next week!!!

Keep your hands to your Chelf, Will Clarke!

5:37
Hope ESPN goes into this break playing De La Soul’s Me MyChelf & I

5:38
Nice catch by Nehlen. He still stinks. Should be playing at Fairmont.

5:38
Hot fudge sundaes for everyone!

5:44
Austin is a good kick returner and a total disaster of a punt returner

5:44
Yackety [golden] Sax

5:44
Un[truly] believable

5:44
Undisciplined team capable of great things when not facing adversity

5:45
We’re highfiving at the bar. #TeamAirSax

5:45
Nobody has talked about wind in Oklahoma this much since the Wizard of Oz was in theaters

5:46
WVU Special Teams new mantra – “We make the defense look great!”

5:47
Ask me about special teams, special teams.

5:47
Pat Miller with a beautiful hug of the receiver who was playing the ball

5:47
Could you please please please for the love of God ask Dana how in the blue hell there is no one on our team that can beat out pat miller.

5:48
I’m pretty patient, but some folks need to lose their jobs! 3 special teams errors have resulted in 17 gift wrapped points! Merry Christmas, OSU!

5:53
Arlia can’t make plays

6:00
Basic footwork poor all day. Sign of really poorly coached team.

6:00
We need another Millardacle

6:04
Not sure why, but Ok State has quit on both sides of the ball.

6:04
The Bad News ‘EERS are hanging in this one folks!

6:04
That Garvin kid: right place, right time

6:05
I haven’t seen a WVU Garvin run like that since I was standing outside a Gilmer County grocery

6:08
38-34? None of this makes sense except the part where we keep screwing up.

6:11
Oh look WVU left the slot receiver open

6:13
Why do we suck?  I mean, seriously???

6:13
Great use of a timeout there. [Anything].

6:18
Millard would make all these open throws. #TeamMillardacle

6:19
Wide [wide] open.

6:25
That’s a BINGO!

6:25
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

6:25
That is [frighteningly] pathetic to not down that

6:25
Do we need a new special teams coach?

6:26
You have GOT to be kidding me!! Bitancurt gets one right and they find a way to make it a disaster, anyway.

6:26
Ask me about special teams, special teams.

6:26
Noel Kahn and I have a plan. Meet us at Eskimo Joe’s for cheese fries. — A

6:26
What the hell were those guys doing there? Oh. Discussing transfer plans? Carry on.

6:26
So poorly coached it’s hard to believe. Gave up 20 yds field position with 6 guys watching.

6:31
Convince me this isn’t coaching.

6:33
Why challenge? Its not like you’ll need those [otherwise valuable] timeouts later or anything

6:33
WVU fans demanded Stewart’s head for three loss seasons. Seems like we’re gonna have four now. I assume Holgorsen’s gone?

6:35
Dana holgerson — i dont always lose like a brainless sissy, but when i do, it’s on national tv with bedhead and in yoga pants.

6:41
You will never sell me that Oklahoma State won this football game.

6:42
NOW WVU has quit

6:47
Ask me about special teams, special teams.

7:00
Why no “hot potato” play today?

7:00
Nice to see that DeForest brought his special gift of f-ed up coaching to special teams as well as the defense.

7:01
Dana has the potential to be a great coach.  Right now, he is not

7:10
title for sequel: Waiting for a Win. …

7:11
Ok state is not  as good as our special teams made them look.

7:13
Haven’t felt this hopeless since [Coach] Rod was losing to Temple at home

7:39
At least basketball starts Monday

8:06
“you got some ideas? I’m all ears.”
