In all fairness, we have some in our fan base who are arrogant like this too on twitter. It’s embarrassing.

Utah is favored in this game by a TD. I have no doubts that our defense can give Grier problems, just like they did Darnold, Browning, and Falk. And they will be more healthy for this game. I hope he plays too.

[rbmw263]

for sure. I dont take it too seriously or personally. It just is a great way to get excited to play a ultimately meaningless game. Trash talk from opposing fans

[SkinyUte]

Wow, those are some really douchey mofos. Can’t wait for Utah to knock them down a peg.

Dude just keeps chirping:

My zoob radar is going off on this Christopher Lambert character….

[EagleMountainUte]

It’s kind of cute how he acts it up. 

Excuses for losses, I hate them all because they don’t change that you loss. 

[Puget Ute]

Yup.  Apparently he is one of the people who claimed to have ‘insider info’ that byu was going to get added to the Big 12. He has about 7 years worth of those tweets.

My zoob radar is going off on this Christopher Lambert character….

“BYU Fans had a sense of humor”.

 

Mine’s going off too.

[Utah]

The guy is 100% a zoob. He is their “insider” anytime they talk about the Big 12 wanting them.

You just made this Mormon Ute fan blow water out his nose. Thanks for that.

[MountaineerLegion]

The guy is 100% a zoob. He is their “insider” anytime they talk about the Big 12 wanting them.

I don’t know what a zoob is but I do know he is not “our” insider. He is highly controversial within our posting community with many believing he is just looking for attention…thus his provocative posts about you all.

[shakeitsugaree]

Thank Jeebus you posted this – I kept thinking that there was no way the majority of WV’s fan base could take this clown seriously.

The term ‘zoob’ originated from Utah fans characterizing BYU as a ‘zoo’ where idiocy reigns: Urban dictionary definition

[KiYi-Ute]

We may need to update that definition on UrbanDictionary. It only has us as beating them 4 years in a row…

“Gosh” what gave it away for you?

[ironman1315]

I think it was his praise of BYU fans and the word gosh. And the fact he’s absolutely delusional. Buuuuuuuut, he does reflect the sentiment of some fans I have seen on the WVU fan forums.

[MotherJabubu]

WV trying to sell the idea of ‘keeping him healthy’ for next year. I don’t buy it at all. If his hand is ready to go he will play.

[MountaineerLegion]

If he doesn’t play do you have another reason than we want him to get healthy?

[ironman1315]

Some fans say that he is going pro this year.

[MountaineerLegion]

Word is just officially out he will be returning for his senior season. I’ve been trying to decide if that fact sheds any light on his participation in our bowl game and I can see arguments for each position. I’ll say this though, should he be able to play I think it’s at least a ten point difference in our offensive production. I’ll also say Big 12 defenses are on notice next year.

[MountaineerLegion]

WVU two time 1000yd rusher Justin Crawford will sit out bowl game to prepare for NFL combine…ugh.

[Tony (admin)]

I guess that’s the price you pay for having good players. Selfishly I wish college football players couldn’t leave early, a.k.a. most of our offensive line from last year.

[MountaineerLegion]

Agreed. I can understand a little more with running backs though. They have a very short shelf life. IIRC the average career for an NFL running back is less than 3 years.

His absence won’t hurt as much as Grier’s. We’re very deep at RB but there was a reason he was the starter.

Are you saying the majority of your line only has a year playing together? Or did they get meaningful time last year as backups?

[ironman1315]

Not particularly. A few did, but it wasn’t as a group and it was sporadic at best.

[Tony (admin)]

Yes Mountaineer. Pretty much all new this season.

[MountaineerLegion]

The reason I ask is we run an odd 3-3-5 defense. It has several advantages…

1. Most QBs haven’t seen it and that can make it difficult for them to make their reads, particularly so if we make pre-snap adjustments based on what we see from your offense.

Have you all faced the 3-3-5? I don’t know anything about your QB. Experienced/Poised? Cerebral? Goes through progressions? Pull it down and run it?

2. You can bring pressure from all kinds of odd angles so offensive lines really need to be in sync with each other on assignments.

If this was the first week of the season I’d be more optimistic about taking advantage of your line. A full season working together will definitely help but I still think we’ll confuse them a little.

I think I read that your coach has had a lot of success game planning for bowl games. I wish this game had the typical single week of preparation. A month is a long time to watch game film.

[ironman1315]

We’ve experienced 3/3-5 when going against bronco mendenhall BYU teams.

[MountaineerLegion]

Whelp, so much for an advantage there.
