Welcome to the Friday Feedback, for which every day is GameDay.
Neat little weekend here with a big game against a team/school that’s become a rival ever since that Elite Eight thing a few years back. Ruining the Product’s look at an unbeaten season didn’t help/hurt, either. WVU really thinks it can win Saturday and is just furious with the way it played for the first 20 minutes of the first meeting this season. Alex Ruoff said Wednesday it reminded him of a high school team. Ouch. Additionally, if Syracuse loses to Marquette in the 2 p.m. game Saturday, the Mountaineers take the floor at 9 p.m. knowing they clinch sixth place in the Big East — to say nothing of better NCAA Tournament positioning — with a win. If Syracuse wins, WVU is seventh no matter what it does against the Cardinals. Crazy how fast things change.
Finally, I guess football season started Wednesday with a pre-spring practice luncheon. The news, of course, was Quinton Andrews’ departure from the team, a seemingly amicable split since Q is apparently allowed to work out at the Puskar Center until the end of the semester. Also of note was the first take-it-for-what-it’s-worth depth chart.
Onto the Feedback. As always, comments appear as posted. In other words, this is an emergency!

“WVU students may begin lining up at the Coliseum Gold gate for the basketball game starting at 3 p.m. Saturday.”
Wait, so if a student wants to get in line before 3, the cops turn him away? Since when are they mandating times to line up for games?
However, I will say that I like the idea of rewarding the students who show up for the 11 AM broadcast. Its a lot better than their strategy of rewarding those who go to soccer games with lower level seats.
How big is the riot that develops when security kindly asks Camp Coliseum to disassemble about 9 o’clock tonight?
