That's what that one WVU fan DESPERATELY wanted to sell before & after our game. It was pretty funny to see him twist into a pretzel trying to justify his perspective that we aren't very good either.
Yeah, the couchburners really pi$$ed me off. After we nearly (and should have) beaten them, they were all about, "we were almost beaten by an FCS team. Oh, no, we really suck! We will be lucky to win another game this season."
After the game, I kept telling them on their board that they are going to do better than they thought, that they were just responding that way because they disrespect FCS so much. They pretty much told me to shut up, that I was only there to validate JMU's worthiness, not to cheer them on, and continued to insist that they suck.
Then, they played #11 Texas tough, outgaining them in yardage, and were down by only 4 points going into the fourth quarter. Had Kendall not thrown four picks, they would have beaten the Longhorns.
Then, they nearly knocked off undefeated, #12 Baylor. I kept trying to pump them up and tell them they are better than they think, out of just friendliness and encouragement more than anything, and they continued with the same line, "Oh, you just want to believe that JMU belongs. You don't! We barely beat an FCS team. We suck!"
Then, they beat #24 Kansas St. I didn't even go to their board after that one because four things had already been proven....
1. I was right. WVU is better than they thought.
2. Couchburners don't accept compliments and encouragement well.
3. Without question, our Dukes can play at that level.
4. Mountaineer fans live up to the inbred moron stereotype.
