You guys are overlooking the WVU/Charlotte connection.

[pstall]

Tons of West VA alum live in and around Charlotte. Oliver Luck is the AD. A short drive on Sat after games or early Sun am and he gets to see his son play.

You can buy me some Newcastles later for this brilliant and epic insight that I'm sure Peter King and Jay Glazer overlooked.

[Boltergeist]

Yeah, and Oliver Luck and Archie Manning were teammates on the 1982 Oilers, so if the Lucks want to hold you guys hostage, he knows where to go for pointers.

[pstall]

I don't doubt that for a sec Bolt.

[pantherfan81]

Yeah Gantt mentioned that he would only have to hop on the freeway to come & see his son play. Something to keep in perspective.

It's about a 6 hour drive to Morgantown from Charlotte.

The following NFL cities are all closer to Morgantown in terms of driving distance:

Pittsburgh

Washington

Baltimore

Philadelphia

Cleveland

Buffalo

Detroit

Cincinnatti

Indianapolis

I just don't see it as that big of an advantage. The guy would hop in a jet. It's not that close.

[Sam Mills Fan]

Yeah Mr. Beauxjangles nailed it. WFNZ has been hyping this theory up too and it really is a HUGE stretch.

Only 3 of those teams need a QB and they are a mess.

I think the advantage if from WC teams like the 49ers.

Harbaugh's family is on the east coast. Anyone know where his wife is from?

Because a 150 dollar plane ticket is a huge expense for a guy making over a million per game.

[panther4life]

what about the tcu connection? Garry Patterson has a hell of a record down there and got coach of the year last year.

*sarcasm intended*

[pstall]

I'm some are picking up the sarcasm without the use of *sarcasm intended*. I would add those other cities have qb's locked in except for Buff and maybe Cincy.

But I progress.

It's not about the money. It's about the ease of travel.

[The Saltman]

lol thanx pstall for another awesome fantastic thread.

/trying to imitate fiz but failing miserably.

[Squirrel]

Sheesh people he is the AD of a top 50 school. He wont be driving to the games he will take the College jet to the games. So travel time is a moot point.

[Cavscout]

As AD at WVa, he can watch his schools game, wake up early on Sunday, fly to Charlotte to catch his son's game. = best of both worlds

or if Luck stays in school, he watches WVa play, misses his son's games all year long.
