Well, that was just about the most humiliating end to a season that you can imagine. The poor Clemson fans had really enjoyed this season, except for their loss to South Carolina. They beat Auburn for the first time since the 1950's. They beat FSU. They won the ACC for the first time since 1991. They were back in the Orange Bowl for the first time since the 1981 national championship season. They held the UCFC for most of the year. And they were up 17-14 in this game. Then the roof caved in. There was always something seriously wrong with their defense, and it killed them tonight.
Oh well, Clemson's all-time record in UCFC games falls to 11-10. They provided us a lot of fun this year, and we hope that their fans will be able to remember the good times and to forget this game.
West Virginia takes the crown for the first time since 1926, and they move to 11-7 in UCFC games. This page will be blue and gold for quite a while now, and they certainly deserve the honor. Among other things, they set the record for the most points ever scored in a bowl game.
Because we still don't know which conference West Virginia will play in next year, the Mountaineers' 2012 schedule is still largely up for grabs. From poking around on the Internet, it looks as though West Virginia is currently scheduled to open next season on Saturday, September 1, 2012 in Morgantown against the Marshall Thundering Herd. But that could very well change.
However, we are pretty confident that at some point in the fall of 2012, West Virginia will play somebody in football. And when that happens, we plan to be blogging the action once more.
