This is as cowardly a move as I've ever seen. Way to stick up for your kicker, coach.

McAfee didn't want to say anything either so maybe they just want to let the whole thing drop.

You are right that some WVU fans are classless. Maybe when you have a passionate fan base you have more good fans and more bad ones.

WVU has a history of horrendous behavior, much moreso than any other school in the Big East? Why can't your fans online admit that and confront it instead of living in denial?

WVU fans have admitted that some of the "fans" are morons. From the 50+ games I have been to I can tell you it is a small percentage. You are trying to stereotype the whole fanbase and you have no basis to do that. When I go to a road game I expect there to be obnoxious fans from the other teams. You can't interact with them.

The more fans you have. The more drunken idiots you are going to get. It is a matter of percentages. Ever been to a MI-OSU game? Talk about ugly. Throw in the fact that most WVU fans have a 30+ year history of expecting to win and when they don't some of them are going to lose their cool.

This isn't something that is just unique to WVU. The national commercial are addressing poor fan behavior at all schools.

Whatever. No use wasting my breath if you already have your mind made up. So I guess when WVU comes to Rutgers you will encourage your fellow fans to treat WVU fans with respect. You don't want any classless Rutgers fans now do you?

RE: Why won't Rich Rodriguez condemn classless WVU fans?
Few classless Rutgers fans exist. The only incident we've ever had was a small group of Rutgers students shouting some profanity at the Navy team, and our athletic director sent an e-mail out to the entire student body warning them of the consequences and also apologized to the entire Navy team and alumni base.

At WVU, they don't even acknowledge problems exist - as the non-comments by the WVU administration and Rodriguez himself about the McAfee incident have proven. They're more interested in getting the story out of the news so it doesn't affect recruiting. You wouldn't want to miss out on the next potential Pacman Jones or Chris Henry.
