Wonder why the anti-WVU ESPN won't run front page articles on this situation. I have a feeling it won't even get a mention tomorrow, yet WVU fans throwing a few things on the floor is the biggest event in college basketball history.
Not to mention the 24 hour sport news sensationalists who have nothing to do but create stories rather than report them.

Its VPI vs WVU. Of course a top 10 team in the BE is gonna get press.
...and why does every fan think ESPN hates their team(s)??

When did WVU fans throw things on the floor? I don't watch much ESPN unless a game is on.

Are you trying to justify what was done at West Virginia??

"It's annoying," [Da'Sean] Butler said. "It really is, honestly. It shows people watching the game from home or from out of state that we have no class. It gives our team and our state a bad name in general and that's not what we're about as a team and I know that's not what we're about as a state. Why even do that stuff?"

Well, let's see...WVU students have also been reprimanded by the administration for saying particularly vulgar things to other players (Turner of Ohio State for one), and their coach took the mic and stopped the game because they were throwing stuff on the court in another game AFTER that.
I'd say WV has earned its poor reputation honestly.
Are you sad because they don't have more company?

Nope. I'm not trying to justify anything because I don't care. I didn't throw anything and neither did 15,000+ other fans in the Coliseum. I have nothing to be embarrassed about.Prescott wrote: Are you trying to justify what was done at West Virginia??

I don't care about reputation nor what others think. It does not bother me in the slightest what the opinion of others is.
I'm merely pointing out the hypocritical double standard of the disgusting media.

You most certainly do care. Your institution is being railed for its mouth breathing, knuckle dragging behavior and you're embarassed for it, rightfully so.

And if you had simply called out your own university students for their boorish behavior, instead of whining about how others aren't being vilified in the same manner, you would have done yourself a favor.

Wow, thankfully you said that. This whole time I've been thinking I don't care, but since you told me I do, then I must actually care.ytownfootball wrote: You most certainly do care.

I am hardly embarrassed of the behavior of 4 fans when 15000 fans acted the way they should.
Not surprisingly you did not comprehend the point of the post.

Why should I call out my own university? I don't care about what 4 students did. Maybe call out those 4 students, but not the university.
I also didn't call out VPI. I was pointing out the blatant and obvious double standard in the media since their behavior didn't make a newspaper.
I didn't know such an easy concept would be so difficult to grasp.

eers, four fans didn't shout loud enough what they did to be heard by a national TV audience.
Not surprisingly you don't understand irony. Got Denial?

I'm not talking about a few naughty words as my original post clealy indicated. I also care even less about profanity than I do throwing things on the floor.
Saying I'm in denial makes no logical sense. Denial means I would say something didn't happen when it did. I simply said I don't care and I don't. You should probably use the terms correctly.
Not surprisingly you still failed to grasp the basic point of the post.

The point of your post for me is simply you don't like he fact WVU is being called out for acting like idiots, and not as much in other cases.
But you don't care...
If you didn't then you wouldn't be beating the drum like a Chief. That = irony = denial
The fact that WVU has a history of this behavior, and an equal history of being proud of it...
To me you whining about the "double standard" = a big can of STFU

Certainly what WVU fans did was wrong. There is none, not one major university that hasn't had embarrassing actions by their fans. In fact 18 different Pitt fans threatened Coach Huggins' life on facebook in the last couple of days.

I don't care about what people think about the incident or our national perception. My complaint is the blatant double standard that exists by not reporting on the same exact thing when it happened at VPI. WVU was lead news on ever station and every sportscaster made sure they gave their opinion.

Yup, and not a single mention of it in the news. Only the actions of WVU fans get reported.

I never once said I didn't care about the double standard. I said I don't care about the national reaction towards the actions of WVU students. There is a difference between those two things.
Try to keep up.
