We have a few years to figure out how to prevent 1) Peden Stadium becoming a Morgantown West three Labor Day weekends from now but more importantly 2) WVU fans trying to resell our season tickets back to us on the secondary market. Unless there's a more creative way, as an out of town fan, I may just do my little part to buy some season tickets in 2024, use at least one game's worth, and sell the rest at face value so I can get on the early privilege to buy for 2025, use the WVU game tix for myself, then treat the others as I did the previous season. The AD has smarter people than me. What should they do?

I hope not but , those things have a way of happening to us. Nice that you have lots of time on your hands this summer, to get a head start on all of this.

I would not be shocked if this home game never happens. Their other two OOC games in 2025 are at home, vs Mr. Morris on 8/30 and Pitt on 9/13, so we're probably safe unless they get an offer they can't refuse. The Mr. Morris game is more likely to go than ours is, since our game is more likely to mean something in the playoff standings. Ours is a 2-for-1 one series; we're in Morgantown in '27 and '29. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

WVU needs to pay Big time to back out.

It would be nice but with the current configuration of Peden only 5 years old with Sook, scoreboard and sound system its probably off the table to modify at the moment. Just my opinion but when you can sell out for FCS programs like Idaho and Norfolk St and now you are bringing in West Virginia and Iowa State you might want to look at a larger capacity. If you want 10,000 students at a football game you might want to have a better infrastructure for concessions.

An apt analogy Ohio Cat Fan, sounds like our grandmothers were "singing from the same hymnal" so to speak. Hopefully this game, and others go according to plan. Conference realignment and NIL could put us all over the edge, if we thought about it too long. "Let today's troubles be enough for today, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself!"

That would be something-painting over Pitt endzones with the WV logo or vice versa. Could see it being a game to draw alums from both schools who call Western Pa home. I, too, can see this game being bought out.
