Over the 4th of July break I was back in eastern Ohio and Weirton, WV, visiting my wife's family. My wife's sister threw a big 4th of July party and there were a number of WVU grads at the shindig.........I was talking to 4 WVU grads about the Big East situation, and interestingly enough they all agreed on adding UL (and maybe UC), but to a man they spoke highly of Marshall as an addition, with the caveat being their hoops program.
Of course it's only a snippet, but sometimes I wonder if you get away from all these internet discussions you find that the average fan (well, actually a couple of these guys gave big bucks to WVU sports) welcomes regional rivalries that make sense.
