For many West Virginia fans, the 2007 season mentally occupies a space of tremendous frustration, anger and bitterness. That bitterness and resentment festers not just because we lost to Pitt, but also everything that transpired in the aftermath. Losing to your arch-rival is a punch in the mouth; losing an opportunity to play for the national title in the process is a hay-maker to the gut. Throw in Rich Rodriguez leaving to Michigan, a perceived betrayal made worse by the nastiness of the legal battle that ensued between him and the University? Yikes. But to really put a bow on top of all of that, the West Virginia Mountaineers spent the next four years slowly declining.
