Bowl means nothing and everything
MORGANTIOWN, W.Va. – Regardless of loyalties to the participants or even one’s opinion on whether the game should be played at all, two wholly conflicting facts about West Virginia versus Marshall – the football version – are unavoidable and undeniable.
It is a game that means almost nothing.
And one that means everything.
Go ahead, try to argue against either point.
When the two teams kick off this afternoon at 3:30 at Mountaineer Field in just the ninth renewal of a game that was first played almost 100 years ago, nothing is really on the line as far as the goals for either team in the 2009 season are concerned.
On Sunday, West Virginia will still be 1-0 in the Big East Conference, the Mountaineers’ hopes for a league title and the BCS bowl berth that goes along with it having neither suffered nor been impaired by what happens today.
