Frankly, I could not care less if we ever play. There are always other buyers in the marketplace
That's one thing we agree on.
I would like to see the game played for "state reasons" but I could care less if Marshall ever plays WVU because frankly, MU does not solely need WVU for survival. We have proven that we can manage just well on our own.
Obviously, WVU can manage well without Marshall.
IMO.......this is a case where little brother has finally grown up and can trade punches with big brother.
Big brother used to have his own club of bigger and better members. Now his club has lost some of those big/better members and at the same time, little brother has become good enough to join big brother's club.
Now comes the time for big brother to swallow his pride and accept little brother and acknowledge his growth and accomplishments.
So big brother throws out a bone to little brother.
Accepting that bone means the start of a new brotherhood between the brothers.
But..............little brother wants to know what it will cost him if he accepts that bone. Because, even though little brother and big brother are now grown men, little brother will always know how arrogant and elitist big brother can be when it comes to doing business.
