Does anyone in here know what the reference is to finishing .500? I realize that if you finish .500 8 games have been won. I just don't understand what the mathematical reasoning behind ".500" is... help please... no one has been able to answer this question. Thanks... I had a question about football terminology.

I have no doubt that the Mountaineers would beat the Illini this year. Illinois simply blows and I was delusional a month ago. However, I still have a large problem where the strongest argument for a team to be a national title contender is that it has a weak schedule, which is what plenty of prognoticators much more well known than me have stated. This was the exact same argument that used for Louisville last year and it backfired. If West Virginia can beat Louisville in November, then feel free to talk a little bit (although going through a Big East football schedule is still nothing compared to the SEC or Big Ten). Otherwise, the jury is out as to whether the Mountaineers are in the same class as the Florida, Michigan, and Texas teams that are below WVU in the rankings right now, much less the teams that are ranked above them. Since this particular post was linked to by Deadspin already, I have no qualms with you making "this site more prevalent public information" in West Virginia, whatever that means. Thanks for visiting! Tony in WV,

If you know so much about Division I-A football, why aren't you coaching somewhere? Illinois?..lol That just reinforces your ignorance. Maybe you should review some stats. I am terribly sorry, but for what you have said about West Virginia and your "kissing cousins" comment, you should be banned from entering anything, anywhere for others to see. West Virginia may NOT be #1 in the nation, but I guarantee they'd beat the Illini. I'm off now to make this site more prevalent public information here in West Virgina. My guess is I'm not the only one who feels this way about your comments. Have a great day..!! Your slander of West Virginia proves your ignorance.
