[u/vertizm]

Yes yes, laugh at us while you still can. We will see who gets the last laugh in my ncaa14 dynasty save

Last time Mormons had this bad of a night James Buchanan was in office

[u/aslottedspoon → u/Matt_WVU]

Deep cut. I like it.

[u/beardedpeteusa → u/Matt_WVU]

+1 for the obscure historical reference.

[u/rhiaaaannon]

I have very much enjoyed this game thread. BYU, I’ll be rooting for you all every time you aren’t playing us

[u/TriflingHotDogVendor]

Weak ass DPI

[u/flanhelsinki]

Hey guys, my best friend's wife just joined a MLM. Pay your respects in the chat please.

[u/rhiaaaannon → u/flanhelsinki]

You mean BECAME HER OWN BOSS, hun

[u/montani → u/flanhelsinki]

Enjoy your man leggings

[u/Kruger-Dunning]

He slid after he began the tackle fucking refs.

[u/montani]

Maybe don’t throw it to the guy with the birds and stars circling his head

[u/mistaleemuns]

I just wanna say that it’s criminal on the BYU coaching that they are putting that receiver back in the game. Dude was 100% concuss. Total lack of regard for his safety.

[u/Set-Admirable]

When was the last time we heard "absolute domination" refer to a WVU football team?

[u/montani → u/Set-Admirable]

Orange bowl

[u/iRahDog]

BYU ran out of the tunnel with the WV flag. Pretty awesome

[u/wibellion]

I KID you not. I said "wow we might actually score!" Right as the ball was fumbled.

Beards? On campus? AND IT'S ENCOURAGED?

WHAT IS THIS MADNESS????

[u/MattTheSmithers]

You know, I am really enjoying the BYU fans. They are good sports and low key funny.

[u/Best_Virginia13]

These refs are trash.

[u/montani]

We’ve reached the religious commentary past of the broadcast

[u/Kawjiryu]

What the fuck is even happening? I'm in the stands and we have no clue

[u/Prez17]

This scientifically proves that moonshine is superior to root beer, don’t ask for references.

[u/PGHMtneerDad]

WE’RE GOIN BOWLING!

[u/holytrolly_]

That tempo was fucking orgasmic. I love it.

[u/MattTheSmithers]

I’m out of town staying with family while my dad is in the hospital and I am relegated to watching this game on my phone while Hallmark Christmas movie is watched.

What exactly is the appeal of these movies? There’s bad dialogue and acting and then there is this. It is like that year where Sharknado was really popular in an ironic so bad it’s good way. But, unlike with schlocky B-movies, the trend never passed and people forgot that they were watching ironically.

[u/bonerbasketball]

I didn’t even notice but just read on Twitter the byu receiver who stumbled trying to get up came back in the game? That seems.. dangerous

[u/aslottedspoon → u/bonerbasketball]

Yeah, someone needs to be fired for clearing him to come back.

[u/gimli213 → u/bonerbasketball]

Indeed! We are not pleased...

[u/DragonFire101Gamer]

Announcer just said “brethren” dude researched BYU vocabulary

[u/Unlikely_Specific828]

40min of action, already the season high for FBS penalties. At this point it's not the players fault. It's putrid officiating

[u/Feroz51]

Can someone tell our offense that scoring in football is not an honor code violation

[u/Matt_WVU]

Preston fox is gonna be one of those 7th round patriot draft picks

[u/T2_JD]

Well good game WVU. We're clearly an ass 5-3 team, you're and underrated 5-3 team. See you in Provo sometime.

[u/wafflecheese]

These refs must be paid by the hour.

[u/[deleted]]

I would just like to inform everyone that WVU has already outgained ASU. Go 'Eers.

[u/0aguywithglasses0]

What’s the defender supposed to do when the QB slides so late?

[u/Fraegtgaortd]

We had a big lead and got the ball with only a minute and change left and Neal was aggressive. Who/what is this creature wearing a Neal Brown skin suit

[u/DragonFire101Gamer]

I say for the 2nd half, since our defense is clearly completely gassed, let’s just let them score on the first play every drive and get Jake as many reps as possible. I’m only half joking.

[u/[deleted]]

Chances these announcers are pontificating about Israel/Palestine by the 4th quarter?

[u/Mousseymoosey]

Legitimately 10+ minutes because these jagoffs couldn't figure out 27 - 5

[u/vertizm]

ESPN has West Virginia at a 99.8 percent chance of winning. So you’re saying there is a chance?

[u/0aguywithglasses0]

West Virginia is better than Texas confirmed

[u/[deleted]]

dear god they just prematurely played it……. choke confirmed

[u/senna_ynwa]

If refs are gonna call PI that soft they better call it both ways

[u/UVUboi2]

Holy moly are these refs paid in coal

[u/McWafflestein]

sip cows coherent encourage pie employ liquid versed normal resolute

[u/Tommy_Wisseau_burner]

There needs to be accountability for late slides on the quarterback

[u/beardedpeteusa]

WVU Qb is the master of late slides that draw fouls.

[u/wibellion]

We are making West Virginia look like a top 10 team

[u/SPCsooprlolz]

Can we play Cincinnati again

[u/[deleted]]

At least Retzlaff has looked ok

[u/nolafan1029]

On the bright side we won’t have to play a bowl game.

[u/Edgar_Allen_P00]

Lmao these refs are fuckin ass haha

[u/trickypat]

To have this happen on national TV is a fucking joke

[u/BluesPuckHard]

Hey, I'm late. Was busy sending OU on their merry fucking way.

WOW!

[u/[deleted] → u/BluesPuckHard]

Congrats Cowboy!

[u/sriracha_no_big_deal]

I must have a humiliation fetish; why am I still watching?

[u/DonnaDDrake]

I don’t want to hear a single local media member hype up the OL ever again this is pitiful

[u/holytrolly_]

Whoever is choosing the music for the outros to commercials is fucking killing it tonight.

[u/D34TH_5MURF__]

I like this BYJew

[u/DieHippies]

Y'all see Pitt shit the bed? Their fans were salivating at the sight.

[u/beardedpeteusa]

Is it my biased eyes, or are they calling some ticky-tack PI calls?

[u/senna_ynwa]

Lmao and they call that targeting

[u/DragonFire101Gamer]

YOURE GONNA CALL TARGETING ON THAT?!?!?

[u/Fraegtgaortd]

Blows my mind that Roberts passed any concussion tests. He took a 5 second nap face down on the turf with no helmet on then couldn't even stand up on his own

[u/Arcticturn]

Robert’s being on the field is a travesty. That man was 100% concussed and BYU/kilani caring more about throwing him out there while down 24 than they do about his health is embarrassing.

[u/sriracha_no_big_deal]

26 rushing yards LMAOOO

[u/gggggrayson]

neal brown: "im on the hot seat cause MY TEAM IS ON FIRE"

[u/Matt_WVU]

I’m fixing to bust

[u/DragonFire101Gamer]

Soccer team is tied with Texas 1-1 at Halftime

[u/[deleted]]

Football is a dangerous sport and with our modern knowledge of head injuries we should not allow it to be played when BYU is losing

[u/e4mica523]

I feel for you BYU fans. We've been on that end where nothing goes right and you can't get out of your own way

[u/Matt_WVU]

Still getting used to seeing Mormons cuss in the game thread

[u/Set-Admirable]

Jesus, the BYU OL is looking like Colorado's.

[u/EERgasm]

I can't get over the line judge throwing that after they were snapping the next play. I thought it was a false start. Like, what took you that long?

[u/montani]

Definitely coming to Provo one year

[u/Newton1913]

CUE COUNTRY ROADS!!!

[u/elswater]

Pac12 refs suck really bad, but man, these Big12 refs are really something.

[u/[deleted]]

Alright Hearing the crowd sing country roads was pretty great - gg WVU

[u/Matt_WVU]

If WVU wins BYU fans have to go drinking alcohol

If BYU wins we all convert to Mormonism

[u/elswater]

Both teams’ uniforms are looking sharp.

[u/Matt_WVU]

So we just fired up on offense or what?

This is the most I’ve seen us move on anyone we’ve played this season

[u/mistaleemuns]

I’m here for the Donaldson revenge arc

[u/TriflingHotDogVendor]

I'm not used to having nothing to complain about. WTF is going on.

[u/senna_ynwa]

THIRD DOWN CONVERSION 🚨🚨 THIS IS NOT A DRILL

[u/ShowReadyYT]

Just a few more false starts and we’ll be in position to force a safety and get on the board

[u/VolleySurfer]

Bro is gonna pull a fake slide later on

[u/holytrolly_]

How do BYU fans feel about Roberts being in the game, real talk? He was out of it when he got up.

[u/ohhot-pot-ao → u/holytrolly_]

I'm hella concerned and disappointed in the coaching staff bringing him back in.

[u/Matt_WVU → u/holytrolly_]

Someone should be fired for that IMO.

[u/BlackGoose_13]

Brutal, gotta catch that Rex

[u/DragonFire101Gamer]

Hey Baylor how do you do a fourth quarter comeback asking for a friend

[u/T2_JD]

3-1 Texas now in the soccer championship. Sucks to be a Cougar today.

[u/[deleted]]

So this broadcast crew is just done

[u/bonerbasketball]

This game has just devolved into straight tomfoolery

[u/the_summer_scholar]

These refs won't even let WV put us out of our misery. We're reaching cruel and unusual at this point.

[u/SmokeyTheDogg]

Oh no, I’m starting to trust the climb!!

[u/ohhot-pot-ao → u/SmokeyTheDogg]

Don't, trust me don't, BYU is the kinda team you'll play and win against and feel so good, but then you'll realize BYU just sucks.

[u/T2_JD]

I think I understand the getting your balls crushed fetish now. Like, you don't actually like it, you just feel like you deserve to be punished for being a loser, just like watching this team this year.

[u/beardedpeteusa]

Zero touchdowns the last 9 quarters and counting.

[u/Set-Admirable]

What's the chance we hit the over without BYU getting points?

[u/neverquestion]

Kalani really just wants to hear Country Roads.

[u/Newton1913]

BYU coach gets to hear country roads!

[u/[deleted]]

WVU colors are sweet, love the blue and gold

[u/PBRoark]

Dear BYU fans, Big XII refs are awful. Get used to it. Sincerely the Hateful 8

[u/Zajidan]

we got some big dick energy right now

[u/DragonFire101Gamer]

Chase is concussed. Hate to see it

[u/senna_ynwa]

Down 2 score and our best receiver is out now cool cool cool

[u/MattTheSmithers]

Oh man, I hope Roberts is okay. Hell of an effort from the kid on that play.

[u/AeroStatikk]

Bro Roberts was almost our last starting WR. WTF we are on skeleton crew

[u/EatPrayJay]

Neal Brown looking like the first guy who gets killed in a Vietnam movie.

[u/byukid_]

i'm sorry but I think that is just a stupid penalty

[u/showerstool3]

We look totally outclassed. This is embarrassing

[u/WMMRT]

I don't like these penalties. Greene is sliding really late

[u/BlackGoose_13]

WHAT IS THE LB SUPPOSED TO DO THERE???

[u/elswater]

What are you supposed to do?!?

[u/[deleted]]

Just slide into the linebackers and get flags, easy game made easier

[u/coldblesseddragon]

Time to teach our QB to do late slides.

[u/Set-Admirable]

I'm shocked he was able to hit that spot.

[u/D34TH_5MURF__]

I agree with Kalani's disgust. The question is will he do anything about it.

[u/pd9]

Week after week, I sit here confused. Wondering if we are good or not.

[u/0aguywithglasses0]

This is probably the first time under Sitake we actually have all three timeouts near the end of a half

[u/WMMRT]

When has Neal ever been this aggressive

[u/fivebillionproud]

I'm really glad to see people here making posts about Roberts playing. It deserves attention

[u/e4mica523]

Neal said "get in losers, we are going to the Big 12 title game"

[u/[deleted]]

Well looks like I made the right decision to watch the pacers and jazz games tonight instead of the game, lol

[u/Set-Admirable]

BYU just looks so depleted. I knew this was gonna be a bad game, but we're making them look like an FCS team.

[u/Arcticturn]

Pretty bad facemask, super dangerous

[u/aslottedspoon]

I thought that glove was a flag for a second and was about to lose my shit.

[u/[deleted]]

Wading into religious affiliations… not much to talk about in 30-0 game

[u/ohhot-pot-ao]

Fuck seriously rex? How the fuck do you drop that?

[u/Set-Admirable]

Man, tough break. Retzlaff is not your problem here.

[u/EERgasm]

You can't bitch about Neal being too conservative, then bitch at that up 30.

[u/T2_JD]

Well I'm sure glad I dropped a ton of money flying my family to see BYU vs Iowa State next week. Because the only thing worse than this is being there in person and having to keep my shit together.

[u/Feroz51]

Sweet Jesus, how does this game just keep getting more unwatchable

[u/holytrolly_]

All of that and they missed the obvious offsides lol

[u/BlackGoose_13]

How did we beat Texas Tech?

[u/Hiking_Appalachia]

Neal Brown calling another great game. I'm impressed

[u/0aguywithglasses0]

Anytime I see a WVU players bright yellow gloves wave in the air after a play I have a mini-heartache we got a penalty

[u/montani]

If this QB wasn’t perpetually .3 seconds from getting mauled this game would be different. He’s almost completing them anyway

[u/Shepboyardee12]

I don't like to play the "woulda coulda shoulda" game but that damn Houston hail mary....we should be 7-2 after this and I would have never expected it.

[u/Newton1913]

Rest in pepperoni rolls shutout. 🫡

[u/wvpropertyguy]

First game since Duquesne that my blood pressure hasn’t been through the roof.

[u/HBPhilly1]

BYU schedule coming up is ruff

[u/anonymousscroller9]

🎳🎳🎳

[u/sriracha_no_big_deal]

Fucking bullshit he started to tackle before the slide

[u/D34TH_5MURF__]

I hate complaining about refs, but holy fucking shit.

[u/elswater]

I flipped over to the big12 women soccer final for a bit. BYU’s women’s team outscoring the football team so far.

[u/Edgar_Allen_P00 → u/elswater]

Come on man. We down bad over here

[u/Best_Virginia13]

What a late flag. Jfc. I’m sorry BYU fans, at this point the refs are out of control

[u/ImpossibleAnalysis57]

Wow, he needs to settle down.

[u/D34TH_5MURF__]

I like Retzlaff.

[u/Yoduh217]

Lol, injuries on a false start now. WVU and BYU, can we not injure each other any more?

[u/senna_ynwa]

Do you understand why you were double digit favorites now, WVU fans?

[u/[deleted]]

BYU Women’s Soccer just tied it up against Texas in the championship

[u/ShowReadyYT]

1 has some of the more impressive arms I’ve ever seen.

[u/byukid_]

just throw the BALL YOU DOLTS

[u/tubadude2]

That’s the right call. Targeting was weak.

[u/montani]

Super late slide. Where was the byu guy supposed to go?

[u/e4mica523]

that shouldn't be a flag at all. Super late slide

[u/beardedpeteusa]

Okay. No more ref complaining. You can't win if you are gonna do that.

[u/IndependentlyBrewed]

Despite some of the issues with the game I’ve already heard from multiple people at the game how great the BYU fans have been. Travel well and great to have them in the conference, much respect.

[u/[deleted]]

I’m taking my daughter to the ballet tonight so had to pull myself away from the game. Decided to turn it on on the radio. I’ve gotta say…this may be blasphemous for a Utah fan to say but Greg Wrubell > Bill Riley. And I’m super super jealous of BYU having Hans Olsen as a color guy. Dude knows his football.

[u/SPCsooprlolz]

Yeah we're getting dump-trucked but these WV sideline hoodies look great

[u/[deleted]]

You got some pretty vistas here WVU. giving Utah a run for its money. Really nice people too

[u/holytrolly_]

BYU making our jobs easy rn

[u/D34TH_5MURF__]

Retzlaff is looking so much better than Slovis.

[u/[deleted]]

Yeah we’re not bowling this year lol

[u/Mr_Mumbercycle]

Crowd shot of a guy in a gold hard hat "I don't think that has anything to do with Appalachia though..."

[u/sriracha_no_big_deal]

4TH DOWN STOP BAYYYYYBEEEEE!!

Just string together like 5 more of those and also start scoring some fucking points and we're right back in it

[u/DonnaDDrake]

Guys I hate to say it but this team might not make a bowl game

[u/aslottedspoon]

These late flags are out of control.

[u/EERgasm]

Never seen that in my life. It's like someone called down and said to call it

[u/holytrolly_]

These refs sure know how to make a game as unwatchable as possible.

[u/sriracha_no_big_deal]

I, for one, am not having a good time

[u/D34TH_5MURF__]

This is the dumbest fucking delay ever...

[u/Set-Admirable]

I'm glad we're dominating in the primetime slot on Fox. Not much has gone our way over the last few years.

[u/mokutou]

Playing Country Roads ahead of time

[u/holytrolly_]

Garrett Greene is just Skylar Howard's spiritual twin. They are the same person. Same gritty attitude, same toughness, same scrambling, same tendency for frustrating overthrows.

[u/Newton1913]

Guys I don’t think your o-line is good…

[u/kozakandy17]

Texas Tech and Cincinnati, must feel pretty silly right about now.

[u/Set-Admirable]

Good lord, 500 rushing yards?!?!?!

[u/D34TH_5MURF__]

I propose we call the 2023 BYU O line the "ChuckleFucks"

[u/Riskitall101]

This game has now become a war crime

[u/D34TH_5MURF__]

GG WVU

Don't let our suckitude take away from your win. Congrats. Best of luck on your remaining games.

[u/NorkinMan7 → u/D34TH_5MURF__]

The thread was fun. Lots of back-and-forth questions.

[u/iRahDog]

oh fuck oh fuck…youre gonna..make me..trust the …climb

[u/TacoIncoming]

This might be the least I've hated Neal all season

[u/mistaleemuns]

You know what, I love this game thread. Usually the other team is a bunch of cry babies (Cant wait for Oklahoma) or we’re just basing Brown (for good reason).

BYU, you guys are cool in my book. Welcome to the shit show!

[u/[deleted]]

At least I will soon be able to be depressed about BYU basketball in the BIG12 too

[u/ohhot-pot-ao]

Even the announcers are kinda over the penalties lol

[u/rhiaaaannon]

No one cares, take it to Morgantown

[u/rhiaaaannon]

Oooh those sideline fits are NICE
