Since you mentioned the 2010 loss to a B1G team:

More good news
I think it does aid in recruiting directly by being able to “sell” a program that is at least making post season trips.
It indirectly helps recruiting because it aids greatly in player development in the form of that extra month of practice. Player development aids in winning, winning aids in recruiting.
Wow, almost 1-to-1 ratio of coaching staff to players.
That was my thought as well. When did the number of suits match the number of jerseys? 40 years ago, the team photo had 5 people wearing a red sport coat. Now, 13 wearing a suit.
The second was losing to Al Wood and *NC in the ACC tournament in ’75…
IIRC… that was the only time we lost to the Dean and the Holes…
Just a few corrections to your memory:
Al Wood wasn’t on that ’75 team. It was Phil Ford. And we lost to UNC earlier in that season at Carmichael.
This is a really neat article. Thanks for the effort it took to research this, especially going back 60+ years!
Class of 89 wasnt too bad and I think would have made some Top 10 list had it not been for the 1987 football season.
The other way to look at this would be to compare titles, bowl appearances, NCAA advancement during that timeframe. Pretty happy with my years at State – Peach Bowl in 86 and 88; NCAA Elite 8 in ’85 and ’86, ACC tourney title in 87, ACC RS title in ’89 along with a Sweet 16 (that should have been Elite 8 if not for “the worst call in NCAA history”).
Well done WV Wolf and thanks!
