In 2023, West Virginia won nine games and Neal Brown saved his job. The Mountaineers did not, however, beat Penn State and only beat two teams that went to a bowl game. Yet, delusional Mountaineers fans from West by god Virginia spent the entire offseason talking up Brown, Garrett Greene, and their painfully average team.
WVU fans were convinced that Penn State was overrated and would lose in Morgantown in Week 1. Well, that didn’t happen. The Nittany Lions had an offensive explosion behind new offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki, winning 34-12. Now, Penn State fans have a chance to get their revenge.
All you Wvu fans that talked shit:

Imma be up till 3am blasting your bookmarks.
You've earned every bit.
It wasn’t just that West Virginia, which has only beaten Penn State nine times in 61 tries, believed it would pull off the upset, but all of Morgantown treated a Week 1 non-conference game like the Super Bowl, canceling classes for the Pat McAfee show to come to town.
All the shit talk.

Drew Allan. Pedo jokes. “WVU by 2 Touchdowns”. Cancelling high school classes. The Pat McAfee show. They called it their biggest game in 30 years.
We went into their house and dog-walked them.
Sit down and shut the fuck up now. Onto the next. #WeAre🔵⚪️
Once Drew Allar, the target of much of the social media hate from WVU fans, got into a rhythm with his new play-caller, the game was over. The Mountaineers only gained 246 yards and the No. 4 rushing offense in the country from last season, which returned three 750-yard rushers, was held to 85 yards on the ground.
WVU fans talked so much trash, were obnoxious about this matchup from the start, harassed our fans, and cancelled classes like it was the super bowl. Only to be dunked on the whole game LMAOOO https://t.co/8tNh1HV509

Penn State fans were surprised by the outcomes because they’re familiar with this type of offseason back-and-forth from a delusional fanbase.
It’s Auburn all over again. Except the WVU fans were the stupidest idiots I’ve ever seen on this app

Oh and the king of the fanbase, just to cover up how wrong he was about his Mountaineers, is ready to talk up the Nittany Lions for the rest of the season on ESPN’s College Gameday, just to make his team look better.
Team.. Penn State might win it all this year

Luckily for West Virginia, the home-and-home series is over, so they don’t have to do this again for a while.
