Fan Reactions to West Virginia's Loss to Texas

Another bad performance by the Mountaineers has the fanbase upset.

West Virginia fell to 2-3 on the year and 0-2 in Big 12 Conference play following Saturday's 38-20 loss to the Texas Longhorns. Although the score doesn't seem that bad, it doesn't tell the full story of how bad the Mountaineers looked in Austin. 

Here are some of the comments from WVU fans on Twitter following the game.

Plenty of games left but not much time to correct course nor room for error. Remaining schedule is our last best chance to validate The Climb. Team needs to bear down or we’re back to Square One in 2023.

Depending on how the rest of the season plays out, Neal gets another year. I still believe he can do it. Our DBs are not good. Sam still can’t catch consistently. Both of these were the game.

Man, I am pulling for NB to succeed. I think he's excelled at recruiting and building a solid foundation for sustained success. Unfortunately, the on-field product just hasn't been acceptable.

Disappointing effort. Never in the game

We won’t win another game this year.

Time for a complete reset and rebranding of WVU football

Let me start by the fact that I personally like Neal brown and the staff, feel they are great people. Can’t keep players out of portal, same in game errors (dropped balls) over and over!

Let’s give the guy a chance

There has just been too much attrition on the defensive side of the ball and it has finally caught up with the team. If you put Tykee Smith, Fortune and Porter along with Woods in the defensive backfield, likely 4-1 if not 5-0

It's time for a change.

It's not the 2-3 start. It's the remaining 7 games. We might win 1. The new doormats of B12

— Smitty (@DLS635) October 2, 2022

I'm looking at 6-6 as a goal now and finding 4 more games to win highly doubtful

I was looking forward to the Texas game to see if our team pulled it together. Defense and offense issues.
Our secondary failed and our receivers failed. Continued disappointment...The rest of the year is going to be a rough ride. The game management antics drive me crazy.

Where are the NB apologist “We’re REALLY REALLY close” people at?

When Kansas gets ranked today, they have spent more time in the top 25 than we have in 3+ years with Neal Brown, and people will still make excuses for him for absolute horseshit performances like we saw last night

— Jack Cann (@JackCann1986) October 2, 2022

Flat, Sun Belt conference football. Year 4 and same ole stuff. I like Neal as a person but we have no identity as a program under his leadership. We started 2-4 last year to end 6-6. We will be lucky to get to 6-6 this year with a strong Big 12. Come 01/01/23 it’s time to move on

— Abandon the Climb (@InsiderWVU) October 2, 2022

Time for a coaching change. This is unacceptable in year 4.

— Justin “Couz” Walker (@couz206) October 2, 2022

Unprepared, predictable play calling and ZERO emotion from coaches that fed to the players. Regression under Brown.

— SimmonsWV🇺🇸 (@Tom32520677) October 2, 2022

Need a football coach. Not a culture analyst. Playing flat is all to know or remember about the Brown era.

— DRP (@drpiv) October 2, 2022

As much as I like Brown. He needs to go. Look at the success of the new coaches in the league. KU, Kansas state, Baylor, TCU all new coaches all huge change in winning

— BR (@fedretirmentguy) October 2, 2022

Just frustrating. Same story different day. Dumb penalties, dropped balls, Swiss cheese defense. UGH. I love my team but it hurts.

— John Hanson⚾⚾⚾⚾ (@johnhanson20) October 2, 2022

Team look unprepared and uninspired. Couldn’t tell if Brown was awake most of the game. Suffered from same issues that always plague Brown’s teams…dropped passes and penalties. Secondary looked lost the entire game. Things would be much better by now if he was the right hire.
