I don't think there's much, if any, angst towards WVU.  They went out in a pretty douchy way.  Kind of like the guy at work that quits with no notice and screws everyone at his old place.  You gotta do whatcha gotta do though.

The angst, IMO, is directed at some of the "Conference Realignment Gurus."  They all seem to be relatively unimportant people (that probably live in their parents' basement), that claim to have these great contacts.  Whenever they're proven wrong, they move to the next hot tip.  The Dood, in particular, also has this unrealistic view of WVU's place in college ... everything (sports, academics, whatever).  All of a sudden, WVU (who as you say, was close to getting left in the cold), is a Big 12 team that has multiple landing spots in case the conference blows up, yet he thinks nobody would ever want UConn.  Other than football (which is a big factor), UConn is a significantly more attractive institution.

I hope for nothing but the best for WVU and even Louisville.  They took spots that could've been ours, but they did what they needed to do to survive.
