I suppose they are like any other fans, some good some bad. The most unfortunate thing for me is having a couple local writers who fit into the idiot category. For example, check out some of this article:

"The win set up an ironic scenario where the measure of success of the 2010 football season then depended upon the outcome of a game in which West Virginia was not even on the field." (Because they had to watch Connecticut - you know, the team that beat them
on the field - play for the title later that night.)
"[The Big East] is a league that often has its credibility as a BCS participant challenged, and accordingly the conference needs to have a tiebreaker which assures that it sends it strongest representative. A team's entire body of work, including nonconference games, should be considered."
"Connecticut is rewarded for narrowly beating the Mountaineers and Panthers on their home field, but is not penalized for having lost to the worst team in the league or performing miserably in its nonconference schedule."
"But any objective observer would conclude that when looking at the entire season the Mountaineers were the best team in the Big East, and were the higher ranked conference team at the end if the season. But instead the league will send to the BCS a team which lost to Louisville by 26, Michigan by 20, and to Temple and Rutgers. Give me a break."
But, at least he got this one right:
"We finished in a 3-way tie in a mediocre league and didn't get the BCS bid. That doesn't seem like a "championship" to me."
And here's part of the explanation about why Stewart isn't high on most WVU fans' list:
"WVU has now finished 5-2 in Big East play five consecutive seasons. Doesn't sound bad, until one is reminded that in 8 of those 10 losses the Mountaineers were favored to win."
