Coaches Poll has WVU #8 in the country Pre-Season
By MountaineerBob on Aug 3, 2008 in Football, Rankings/BCS/Polls
The first “official” pre-season poll was finally released. WVU comes in at a respectable #8 although personally I feel it should be more like 4. We beat the shit out of Oklahoma 8 months ago. WTF!? Do they really think that not having Dick Fraud on the sidelines will make that big of a difference? Do they not see how stacked we are on the O-line? Do they not see how much the players love Coach Stew? Guess not.
