I’m working on the F Double now, my penance for the inexcusable TFGD debacle. To hold you over, there’s Dana’s post game presser, where, surprisingly, people weren’t much interested in positive somethings.

That’s probably because their isn’t a whole lot of positive stuff happening, certainly not enough to overlook another uninspired late-season performance and another November loss. He’s five games above .500 as the head coach, but nine games below since beating Texas in 2012 and 2-9 in his three Big 12 Novembers, and I imagine that begins to bother you after a while.

But look, you can spin numbers and squint until you see what you want. What you can’t fail to see are the recurring failures that continue to haunt what could be a pretty good team.

WVU is now 1-4 against top-12 teams this season with the losses coming by 10, 12, 1 and 6 points.

“I feel as though we’re more frustrated because we know what we’re capable of doing and that we can go out there and beat these teams to that we lost to,” safety K.J. Dillon said. “To come up short is not a good feeling.”

The Mountaineers, who were bowl eligible a month ago and four games above .500, will limp into the final game of the regular season at Iowa State next week trying to simply clinch a winning record. They have a three-game losing streak for the third straight season, a stretch the school hasn’t seen since 1999-2001 – the final two years with Don Nehlen as the coach and the first with Rich Rodriguez.
