Texas Pregamer: West Virginia

OK, can we just put this to rest already? WVU, you are not our rival. You are not even the rival that we tell everyone isn’t a rival but still cackle gleefully when they nearly lose to the Miami Dolphins of the SEC. Wooooooo pig eie-eeee-eeeeeeeeeeeheee (or whatever sound a dolphin makes). The Mountaineers of Morgantown (the Arlington of the Appalachians) have slapped the ‘rival’ label onto the Longhorns despite the fact that we think about them so little that I forgot this Pregamer was even due until an hour before publishing time. It’s really just a case of redirected rival angst though. They don’t play their real rival, Pitt, anymore and they even discontinued the “friends of coal bowl” with Marshall. They seem to be running away from fossil fuels and Pittsburgh faster than a female Democrat in the same bar as Ben Roethlisberger Antonio Brown Roethlisberger.
