Yeah, U-Dub wasn't a bad loss. Everyone who knows anything knew that they've had a very good and successful team for awhile now. They get a lot of press as well.

WVU would have been a surprise to the nation last season had a Duke/State/UNC lost to them... until the NCAA tournament and everyone saw how good they were. Now there well recognized as being a force.

I wouldn't consider these "nobodies" though. They're in major conferences and have all been successful.

I'm more talking about the George Washingtons and Charlottes. Teams, unless you closely follow college basketball, most people didn't know existed. They're talented enough to beat the snot out of you.... but if you win it's not something to brag about becuase no one has ever heard of them and you don't hear about them on ESPN.

Similar to ECU in football back in the 90's. You'd have been dumb to play them (Which we did, but didn't want to)

Actually the Texas game is in East Rutherford (K would NEVER schedule a game on a Top 25 teams floor).

Haha yea seriously. It's not like our program is that far ahead of them at all. In fact, with the recruiting they are getting to stay in Philly recently I'd defeinitely put them on our level...
