Sportsmanship

[Erik4Cy]

WVU fanbase are mostly good sports, just like ISU. Both will always have a bad egg here or there, but it's starting to feel like a mostly friendly, fun little Big XII rivalry. Viva la Riot Bowl.

On the field? Seems like things have been much nastier with some Texas schools (UT, BU) in the past. ISU/WVU feels competitive, but not disrespectful from both sides. Had no problem with anything I saw last night.

WVU did not offer Rocco out of high school. He admittedly was not a super-highly-regarded recruit, three-star on 247, but seems odds for a "legacy" guy.

I saw an Oregon player spit in the etes of an Ohio St. player .

And he was ejected from the game

And that would have been before NIL was a big deal.

The rumors apparently involve last offseason.

No clue about that, on their board they had someone post why they did not get him, and quite a few people said they had him in, but the kid that is their backup now was higher rated and the staff was not impressed with Becht to take both of the them.
Quite a few pointed out that the kid they did not take just beat WV and the kid that they took instead of Becht is still sitting on the bench, while Rocco is getting better every game.

Given that Rocco has a green dot, how did that affect getting the play in?

Am I missing something?

The lights were still flashing with under 15 seconds left on the play clock. ISU was already lining up. Tough to read a defense when the lights go on and off.

According to their board they had Becht in for a visit, but the QB that they took that year was higher rated and once they had his commit they stopped recruiting Becht.

I'm referring to last year. Rumor has it that West Virginia offered him a lot of money to transfer.

At least neither team needed five injury timeouts like the KSU defense needed last night against Colorado. CU fans were booing them like crazy!

If anyone cares, it happens at around 30 seconds left on the game clock in the 2nd quarter (@Cyhig is correct, it's about 15 seconds on the play clock). Broadcast clearly shows Campbell pointing it out to the sideline ref

 

[cyclones12321]

Oh... and when we're actually trying to just kill the clock at the end, which is good sportsmanship, their head coach keeps calling timeouts. I was SO glad CMC decided to throw the fade to Higgins just to put his foot on Neal Brown's throat and show him who's the boss in this game.

Man I was hoping that ended in the end zone to keep Higgins streak alive

Speaking of sportsmanship, or lack thereof, how about WV flashing the lights on and off while our offense was trying to get plays in from the sideline last night. That should have been a penalty IMO.

I was wondering what was going on… thought it might be something with one of the cameras!

All I know is that CMC was pissed. If he's pissed... I'm pissed!

I thought so too. I don’t remember the stadium lighting ever flashing out and back on in an NCAA or FBS game.

 

[hoosman]

Campbell’s interaction with Brown after the game lasted about 3 microseconds. Doesn’t seem like Brown made many friends yesterday.

 

[Rabbuk]

Neal brown seems like not a good sport

 

[carvers4math]

I think it was 2017 when they pointed lasers at our kicking team

 

[awd4cy]

I hope our guys talked lots of **** to them after they throughly beat that ass.

Should have at least stopped the play and told the crew not to flash the lights.

Its all the rage lots of stadium lighting is like that now, I think JTS is scheduled to get the same upgrade in a year or two.

Good it's badass.

Knoxville Raceway has the coolest light show out there.

They would have been dumb not to try.
