At the end of the game highlights, the University needs to add "No couches were harmed in the filming of this production. "

Finally got that Morgantown Monkey off our backs.

But anyone who calls for an onside and they're up by 14 still deserves firing.

It's been a while since we won 4 in a row. Feels good. Way to go Dave. I am starting to draft my apology letter. Win 3 more games this season and many of us are going to have a lot to walk back.

Very impressive to get a win in Morgantown! I've been critical of Dave but this team plays hard and plays for each other. Happy for the staff, team and fans!

If you're going to blame Dave for the losses, you gotta give him credit for the wins. But he does make it difficult.

If they finish 9-4, they will have accomplished quite a bit. I suspect he has pretty well won another year though I'd like to see at least one more win and really two. A 6-7 finish would not leave me wanting him back.

Still, they made solid second half adjustments this time. Almost pitching a shutout after allowing 28.

No apology needed. Whatever criticism that was given was deserved.

We were 3-9 last year, hadn't won a P5 game at home since 2022 until the OK-lite win this year and had a stretch of something like 2-13 in conference games from 2022 through the Iowa St game this year.

Kind of like the Holiday Bowl against UCLA...I'm not going to recognize that TD right at the end of the half. We stood him up.

It's hard for me to say which of these 4 wins on this streak have been the most impressive.

The road win 59-35 over TT was really unexpected. Finally beating our rival TCU again felt huge. Then this convincing road win to break the Morgantown curse was incredible.

It's fun to win games.

Great to finally win one at Morgantown. We officially gave up 35, but 14 of that was basically scored by the refs and another 7 came after the boneheaded onside kick.

Winning football games is hard. As long as you win, that's what matters. Plenty to work on this week in practice.

Beating TCU at McLane as the last seconds ticked off is tops for me (so far). But this win is up there because it is SO huge for us and how we killed that curse in dominate fashion.

Man that Colorado game is going to haunt me for a while. Baylor wins that game and we are actually alive in the Big12 championship race.

Here's the thing about the onsides kick: this board, as it always does, plays the result. It was a bad result, so it was a stupid decision. Sean Payton is a genius for an onsides kick in the Super Bowl, and everyone here would have been going crazy if we executed it tonight.

The point is, if they were going to try it, that was the perfect opportunity. Up by 14 and knowing you're getting the ball in the second half, confident in the offense to score at least 14 more points. The worst case scenario happened, and we were still up 7 getting the ball. There is no way he tries it if we were up 7 instead of 14.

So we go in up 7, and our defense responds in the second half by basically shutting them out.

People on this board clinging to the bad execution of the onsides kick need to enjoy the game more. We won resoundingly.

I had no problem with it. As a coach, you sometimes want to push the accelerator to the floor and thats what he tried.
