Heartbreaking defeat an all-too familiar tale for West Virginia fans

COMMENTARY

GRANVILLE, W.Va. — Gut punch. All-timer.

You could discuss where West Virginia’s 11-10 loss on Sunday against Texas A&M ranks among the WVU athletics’ long history of setting their fans up with hope only to pull the rug out faster than Bryce Blaum’s walk-off grand slam left Monongalia County Ballpark.

That would be a one painful discussion, though, one that generations of West Virginians are quite tired of.
But one that has been had enough times that Mountaineers fans have become more accustomed to expecting heartbreak than preparing for celebration.
