WVU Fans Unleash Frustration After 28-16 Loss to Iowa State

A day that started with hype ended with another opportunity squandered by WVU. West Virginia fell 28-16 to No. 11 Iowa State in the first ever Coal Rush game. Here’s how fans reacted on social media.
As you can see, these comments paint the picture of the state of the WVU fan base. The Mountaineers are now 3-3 (2-1, Big 12) as they head into another night game against another quality Big 12 opponent.

Look at a program like pitt. 6-0 for the first time in 42 yrs and played a home game in a half empty stadium today.
WVU came in 3-2 with 2 soul crushing losses & a coach who has won nothing in 6 yrs. Packed the stadium with a coal rush.
Neal Brown doesn't deserve this support.

Big 12 told these refs to get Iowa State the win. This is blatant. Everything from non-calls to picked up flags to bad calls on WVU. Very bad showing @Big12Conference. On national television nonetheless.

I was wrong about this Iowa State game. I picked them to lose because it was such a tricky spot and I thought WVU would be able to run all over the banged up defense. If you haven’t already started talking Big 12 title and CFP, start now. Cyclones are for real.

WVU has had 3 games this season with all the hype and a chance to show the nation what WVU football is all about. Each time the fans showed up and showed out. The football team….not so much.

If we’re going to dress like Army, we should at least play like Army.

No matter what team you root for, this is fantastic.
This is America.
This is college football.
Real coal miners led WVU’s football team into the stadium today.
Absolutely wonderful display of a bond between a team and the state they represent.— Colin Dunlap (@colin_dunlap) October 12, 2024
Defense held for 3+ quarters until Greene undermined them with interceptions. This was all on the offense. Never thought I'd say that.

100 percent. This game is on Greene decision making.
