ooc Schedule

I know this post is 3 months late to the debate, but now the evidence is in my favor.

WVU is no longer in a power conference for football, the Committee has decreed it so. no non B1G, or SEC team will make the playoffs as an at large team. the only chance WVU has at making the playoffs is winning the big 12. out of conference losses do not matter to WVU as far as Bowl selection goes.

I would rather play 11-12 'p4' games and have an extra loss at the end of the season. than play Marshal/OhioU/ECU. worst case scenario is a what would be 6 win season becomes a 5 win season, and we get mercilessly get spared a toilet bowl in Dallas or Shreveport where we get our rear beat by Minnesota or Utah. Would yall have different feelings on this years season, or Brown, if we had an extra win against Temple instead of a loss against penn st.

We are a fanbase that has been starved of rivals, and regionality, the Local games against PSU, Pitt, Maryland, and VT Mean too much to the fanbase to only play Pitt every year.

  • Also keep in Mind since 2019 since WVU has played 2 ooc p5 games WVU is 1 game under .500 and this has been the worst stretch of WVU football in 50 years. I'd like to think WVU can go better than .500 against Maryland and Pitt normally
  • Wins over (NCst, VTX2, Pitt)
  • Losses to (Mizzou, Maryland, Pittx2, PSUx2)
  • in 2018 WVU with Grier beat Tennessee and probably would have beat NCst If hurricane Florence hadn't happened
  • In 2020 I'd like to think a 6 Win WVU would have beat a 2 win Maryland and 3 FSU Should Maryland and FSU had not canceled those games in 2020

Earlier in the year there was a discussion about canceling the bama series. WVU should not Cancel the Bama game especially consider since Bama potentially may on the down fall with out Saban, we could catch then while theyre down.

the only down side is for recruiting coaches whose bonuses sometimes rely on records, but at this point idc.

How do you feel about AI in the classroom?

Do you use AI to complete school work? Do you think students should be allowed to use it? Do you feel strongly against it?

I'm writing a story for The Daily Athenaeum about students' use of AI for school work. Comment or send me a DM if you're a student who wants to share their opinion-- good or bad.

I won’t stop till the notification comes thru that the bad man is gone.

I was not a fan of them extending him. Pay the 10.75Mil for the buyout. Even though I know that money could go towards getting better players. I rather get Neal out of here first. I’m old enough to remember WVU being a top15 team and being competitive. This is awful to watch.

Engineering clubs?

Hey yall! Home for Thanksgiving and I’m realizing I didn’t get involved with as many activities as I wanted to. I’m a freshman so I know I still have time. Anyone have suggestions on good engineering related clubs? Most of the other girls in my friend group aren’t engineering so I’d like to branch out some

Big 12 Title

Was playing with the record predictor on the Big12 website, and saw that if this combination of wins happened, that we would go to the conference title game next week.

Long odds that ASU, BYU, Colorado and Baylor all lose, but it is possible.

Did anyone else get screwed out of taking Math 155 this spring?

Signed up for the ALEKS thing and hoping I'll test out of Math 153 but I'm pissed that I have to do that in the first place. Also, all the good sections of 155 are gone.

When to secure apartment for fall 2025

I’m a WVU freshman rn and a lot of my friends already signed leases for their apartments next year. It seems crazy early to me, when is the latest that I should be signing a lease? I want to live in a one bedroom studio apartment by myself and I’ve only found a couple options so far. My parents also think it’s way too early to sign anything. Any upperclassmen here know how this works?

President’s and Dean’s Lists

Are these lists made every semester? So if one semester you have a 3.8 you’ll be on the Dean’s and next semester you have a 4.0 you’ll be on President’s… or is it cumulative? Can you be on either if you have a W on your transcript?? I tried googling but did not find much. Please leave any info you have!

Sublease Jan-May 2025

Looking for someone to take over the rest of my lease as I am moving states. The rent is $850/month with all utilities included aside from wifi. I have already paid Mays rent. There is paid parking next door with the ability to get a pass from the MPA office. The apartment includes a shared laundry dryer/ washer which is free. Your neighbors will be pleasant and for the most part quiet. You also won’t have to worry about stolen packages as the front door is key-code. The unit is pet friendly, and tenants get into 123 select events for free. Also a quick walk to the PRT. Will be available by Jan. 1, possibly sooner.

If interested please lmk!

WVU MBA chances

I’m in the process of applying to the MBA program at WVU. I would ask this question in the MBA subreddit but they would probably just laugh at me lol. I’ve seen post saying WVU accepts anyone but does the same apply for their MBA? Anyways I graduated in May with a 3.4 gpa with a Poly Sci degree was a d1 athlete 2 year team captain and 2x 2nd team all conference. I Don’t really have a lot of academic accolades tbh or much work experience. I’ve been working at my family’s business and serving and volunteering at a hospital for the past few months. What do y’all think my chances are of getting in and getting scholarship? I am also a minority if that helps lol If I need to provide more info I will!

Business or engineering?

I'm a junior in high school living in Tennessee. I originally planned to become an electrician. However, my family has decided to move to West Virginia. We would be really close to WVU, so I could attend while living off-campus and save a ton of money.

I'm still undecided about which degree I want though. I'm not very interested in the medical field, I love computers but I'm not the best at coding. I'm currently thinking about either a business or engineering but I'm undecided. I know that both of them pay pretty well, which is my biggest concern right now.

Can anyone with experience in either of these fields describe their experience at WVU getting their degree and how it turned out for them afterward?

really struggling with finding like minded people

I am a freshman who came from out of state with no other friends or anyone else from my hometown, there’s only one kid i’ve met from my home state. I’m bisexual, pretty gay though and it’s always been a huge part of my identity. Since moving here i feel like i’ve lost myself. I don’t even recognize myself anymore. I feel like ive completely shut the queer part of me out just to fit in. I have found 0 gay culture, the only gay bar in town is closed, i haven’t found gay friends. I don’t look gay, i look like every other straight bitch which doesn’t help. I feel like it kinda turns the queer community away from me and all of the friends i have made either don’t understand, or don’t know because i don’t feel comfortable enough to tell them. This was my biggest worry coming here, and i was told not to worry. However it’s worse than I could have thought. Any tips appreciated bc i’m about to transfer home
