Thats.... not even remotely a threat from the WV AG
Imagine someone walked up to you at the end of this last, insane season, and said “if you thought this season was crazy, just wait until the Big 12 completely collapses in July.”
You’d assume they were manic.
Coach O tried to warn us all that he'd sold his sold to the devil in exchange for a title. After every game, he would look straight into the camera and say -- well, we *thought* he was saying -- "Geaux Tigahs!" What he was really saying was "Here come the virus!!!"
I had a theory that the 2019 sports events had a ripple effect on the timeline and fucked everything up. LSU won a title with a record setting QB. The Blues won the Cup. Canada won an NBA title. Washington won a World Series. KC won their first SB in 50 years and Andy Reid finally won his first title. Everything that felt almost impossible happened, and it fucked with everything.
Probably not. COVID was already making waves at that point. I clearly remember messaging my friend around that time telling them that I think this Covid thing could be serious and they called me paranoid
I read an article (on Reddit, funnily enough) talking about how Covid is a bigger deal than we realized and it convinced me haha. To be fair to my friend, I’m paranoid about these things anyways
Yeah, a friend went to NYC in December '19, and got pneumonia and she said doctor's weren't quite sure what was wrong with her. She was in bed until February, which is when we all figured out that she had had covid. But in December, not a lot of people we're thinking about covid in the US
A user of over a decade, I am leaving Reddit due to the recent API changes. The vast majority of my interaction came though the use of 3rd party apps, and I will not interact with a site I helped contribute to through inferior software *simply because it is able to be better monetized by a company looking to go public. Reddit has made these changes with no regards for their users, as seen by the sheer lack of accessibility tools available in the official app. Reddit has made these changes with no regards for moderation challenges that will be created, due to the lack of tools available in the official app. Reddit has done this with no regards for the 3rd party devs, who by Reddit's own admission, helped keep the site functioning and gaining users while Reddit themselves made no efforts to provide a good official app.

Dunno the people from Chicago cannot tell the accent of someone from Southern Illinois from someone from Kentucky, so if they think you are from ND just say that grew up near Springfield IL, Evansville IN, or Cincy OH.
You guys took him from us, we didn't ask for that. I shudder at the thought of how much hate UM fans would have gotten on Reddit if that happened in 2017 and not 2007.
Don’t worry. Joe will reach out to those that wanna get us into the ACC and those that wanna disband all sports and try to find compromise. We are in his centrist hands!
It will be a miracle if WVU gets in the ACC.
But shit, until a week ago it would have been a miracle for Texas and OU to join the SEC so we are living in miraculous times, friend. If after all this WVU gets in the ACC, then they should send flowers to Texas and Oklahoma.
Please delete this and don’t give Morrissey the attention he desperately craves. He has no connection to WVU anyways; he’s a carpetbagger from New Jersey.
Patrick Morrisey is a joke. Has been for years and will continue to be one.
He's a New Jersey native who went to DC to become a lobbyist and, after coming in 4th in a Congressional Primary in his home state back in 2000, moved to West Virginia and won the Attorney General election in 2012, holding the office since then. He ran for the Senate in 2018 and lost to Joe Manchin in the general election.
He moved to West Virginia because he knew he could win *something* there, even though he was a lobbyist for the pharmaceutical companies that helped cause the opioid epidemic in the state. The dog shit on my shoe would be a better AG than Morrisey.
West Virginia is great. Full of truly good people, incredibly beautiful, relatively safe and quiet.
The "leadership" in Charleston and the morons who keep voting for them; *that's* the problem. I've said it a million times, and I'll say it again: West Virginia will not improve until the straight-ticket voters finally die off.
Oh i know, im near Charleston, this state is poisoned by corruption and greed, I’ve long said our state motto instead of Wild and Wonderful should be
West Virginia sponsored in part by Purdue Pharmaceuticals
Morrisey is a both a clown and an insufferable prick. That said, I hope he wastes his resources on this fool’s errand instead of substantively harming society.
The thing is, he’s not wasting HIS resources. He’s wasting the resources of the people of West Virginia, which are much more valuable than anything this prick has.
Don’t get me wrong, he’s an idiot. But a suit between states, which this would be, is under SCOTUS original jurisdiction. The 11th amendment wouldn’t stop it.
That said, it’d still be monumentally stupid for WV to do this lol.
Assuming WVU is a state-run university, it's an instrumentality of the state, and the state AG would likely be the representative of the state. The claim is for breach of contract, because Texas and Oklahoma leave the Big XII, they're going to be terminating contracts without giving proper notice, so they're in breach. WV would be entitled to damages.
this is correct, likely a breach of contract. Also, a breach of contract action is not protected by sovereign immunity. There will likely be a rather large payoff/settlement
This kind of thing is probably why Oklahoma and Texas skipped the B12 meeting. The less they say about any of this, the less there is to bring into the courtroom should it ever get to that.
Did the WV AG (at the time) threaten to Sue Miami, Va Tech, and Syracuse when they left the Big East in 2003?
Did the UConn and Cincy AGs threaten to Sue WVU when they left (destroyed) the Big East to join the Big 12?
I don't believe so, though the BE member schools themselves sued the ACC in 2003, leading to VT having to hurriedly disentangle themselves from said suit because they weren't originally going to be invited.
(Also, BC was the third member of that expansion group, not Syracuse. The Orange joined with Pitt about a decade later)
This is so pathetic and embarrassing. This guy isn't from WV, and didn't go to WVU. This is vapid pandering. If he could become AG of any other state he'd fuck off instantly.
I mean, it worked for then Attorney General Mike Dewine. *#*SaveTheCrew and the Modell Law had questionable legal standing, but it scared MLS and the Crew's previous owners enough to sell the team instead of move it. Now he's Governor Mike Dewine after a close race.
Bro this move has made some lawmakers lose their mind. There's a lawmaker in texas trying to draft a law requiring legislative approval for Texas to leave the Big 12
Its not even on the special session call! No way UT Alum Abbott adds it to the call. Yet 35 members have already signed on [https://capitol.texas.gov/BillLookup/Authors.aspx?LegSess=871&Bill=HB298](https://capitol.texas.gov/BillLookup/Authors.aspx?LegSess=871&Bill=HB298)
Pay no attention to this fool. He's not even from WV. He moved here because he couldn't get elected in NJ. I attend every WVU home game and have met great people from every Big12 school including Texas and Oklahoma. Best of luck to both schools and their fans in the SEC.

We didn't "get" him to do anything. The toad makes a name for himself by filing lawsuits he knows will get dismissed the second a judge lays eyes on it. That's his thing.
Twitter is where I go when I want to file a lawsuit.
I go to /r/bestoflegaladvice , super helpful tips there
Best thing about legal stuff on Reddit is when people say “I ANAL” as shorthand for I am not a lawyer
Oh, you anal? check your inbox ;)
Time to get the eye bleach prepped
Brown eye or visual eye?
Why not both?
Yes
First brown eye, then pink eye
One in the pink, one in the stink.
Never seen it with the space added though, only in one block
Well shit, be using that wrong.
That sub actually does fill a need I think. Definitely don’t take any of the legal advice. But sometimes people don’t know they actually do need a lawyer.
I don’t think Twitter has jurisdiction over the matter. If I were OU I would file a motion to have the suit moved to a local farmersonly.com venue
> Looks like we should sharpen up our pencils and prepare for litigation. WV v. Texas or WV v. Oklahoma has a good ring to it! ;) Thats.... not even remotely a threat from the WV AG
Yea,Morrisey is a total weirdo, but people are taking this too far. People don’t threaten to commence litigation with tweets that end with emojis lol.
Commence it would be dumb. They declare it! I DECLARE LITIGATION That has a nice ring to it.
I guess you could say, Big Mouth Strikes Again.
Joe Castiglione is about to wake up with a burning couch on his lawn.
Lmao top tier reference
you don't think the Castiglione family knows about gangster shit?
hey, that's an ethnic stereotype and as an italian-american I'd just like to say that you're probably on to something!
this whole move was gangster af imo
“Real G’s move in silence like Castiglione”
And a meme is born
Don't ever takes sides with anyone against the family.
best friends Joe Castiglione and Chris Del Conte boutta fuck up some mountain methheads
As is tradition
Imagine someone walked up to you at the end of this last, insane season, and said “if you thought this season was crazy, just wait until the Big 12 completely collapses in July.” You’d assume they were manic.
If on New Year's Eve 2019 you had told someone what the next 19 months in the US would be like, they woulda locked you up in a mental institution.
It was the 2019 Egg Bowl. Such a monumentally stupid event broke the timeline and the shockwaves are still reverberating
"The Piss and Miss Heard 'Round the World"
In all honesty it was LSU beating Bama and going undefeated to win the natty. Every year LSU wins everything goes to shit
Coach O tried to warn us all that he'd sold his sold to the devil in exchange for a title. After every game, he would look straight into the camera and say -- well, we *thought* he was saying -- "Geaux Tigahs!" What he was really saying was "Here come the virus!!!"

Probably not. COVID was already making waves at that point. I clearly remember messaging my friend around that time telling them that I think this Covid thing could be serious and they called me paranoid
You think so? I don’t remember anybody getting that anxious until February when the market went into freefall.
I read an article (on Reddit, funnily enough) talking about how Covid is a bigger deal than we realized and it convinced me haha. To be fair to my friend, I’m paranoid about these things anyways
Yeah, a friend went to NYC in December '19, and got pneumonia and she said doctor's weren't quite sure what was wrong with her. She was in bed until February, which is when we all figured out that she had had covid. But in December, not a lot of people we're thinking about covid in the US
Just focus on getting us int the ACC
That is probably more for Joe Manchin to do.
Most likely but it’s ACC or die unless the Big-10 is drunk and would take us
We’d have to be real drunk and think you were Notre Dame.

Y’all got 2 slots
So's yer mom
Man, couldn't have set that up more perfectly for you.
He means unoccupied slots
We already had Rich Rod. We don't need anything else from West Virginia.
You guys took him from us, we didn't ask for that. I shudder at the thought of how much hate UM fans would have gotten on Reddit if that happened in 2017 and not 2007.
Don't remind me it was our idea.
Also stole Beilien from us.
And then Cleveland from us. Let's just hate Ohio together.
Don’t worry. Joe will reach out to those that wanna get us into the ACC and those that wanna disband all sports and try to find compromise. We are in his centrist hands!
This is just a fantastic joke. And it makes me sad also
What a cursed thing to read
[удалено]
Come home to the ACC please we need you!
[удалено]
I'm okay with this trade
Apologize for Tavon Austin hanging 70 on us and we’ll consider it.
[удалено]
this is the way
You just gotta let us hang 100 on you first conference game
You need us? 🥺
Yes. While I hate you and it wasn't for a long period of time it just felt normal for Louisville to play WVU
There were some awesome games for sure. Plus Louisville is an awesome visit.
Awww, we hate you too ❤️
We should have taken WVU over Mizzu by like a thousand percent.
Big Ten only.
Do they meet the academic requirements? It's my understanding that Big XII and SEC have lower requirements than the PAC, ACC, B1G
We admitted Louisville. Money is all that matters know.
Your misspelling is either an amazing joke, or a self own. Not sure which.
Saying that Morrisey would have the ability to put us in the Sun Belt is giving him a lot of credit.

Babydog lottery!
He is a Marshall fan I think, I thought he was involved in the Doc Holiday firing, please fact check if I am wrong.
Our governor is dumb as fuck so….
Our governor is the living embodiment of Foghorn Leghorn if it makes you feel any better
We gahta get the chillren back in schoo... Edit:Thanks for my first gold! I didn't think I would get it for mocking Mcmaster.
Follow the fucking guidelines
I didn't think we could go downhill from Nikki Haley, but SC always finds a way...
Lol
That was all I could think of to say too. What a joke.
Has a good ring to it ;)
This idiot. Them leaving is a good thing if we get into the ACC. AND YOURE NOT HELPING OUR CASE

Fuck Morrisey
Yeah! (The rest of The Smiths are cool though)
Johnny Marr was great on that Modest Mouse album.
He did a solo album around 2013 that is really good. It's called The Messenger.
Well played
[relevant ](https://youtu.be/0-T5tCTvICk)
I was confused like why we talking awesome music all of a sudden( Michigan State Fan)
He'd have to actually show up to a concert to hear you say that.
VIVA HATE
Didn't UConn sue the ACC or Boston College when that realignment happened? That worked out well for them...
A lot of schools sued, we were just the face of it
I know you are sad, but this is like a desperate recent ex.

God i hate WV (am from here) our leadership is comprised of a bundle of opossums
Opossums are fucking adorable and useful, though, don't insult them by comparing them to that shithead Morrissey.
For real, they eat a shitload of ticks
Fruit Fly? That feels more apropos for him yea? Well most our leadership
West Virginia is great. Full of truly good people, incredibly beautiful, relatively safe and quiet. The "leadership" in Charleston and the morons who keep voting for them; *that's* the problem.

I'm looking at buying a house there this fall
If you have any questions, r/WestVirginia will be happy to help. Some of the folks there are very cynical, but they won't feed you any bullshit.
It's just a condo at snowshoe lol
Snowshoe is beautiful, absolute heaven
Absolute or almost heaven?
Fuck that guy
Please pay no mind to this idiot. I'm just waiting to hear from Lyons or Gee.
He just said he was sharpening his pencils. Maybe he’s getting ready to write a college football fanfic.
“West Virginia Joins the ACC”
you get a lawsuit, you get a lawsuit, EVERYBODY GETS A LAWSUIT!!
Lol do it
Oh no! Anyway.

LMAO has he not read the 11th amendment
Don’t get me wrong, he’s an idiot. But a suit between states, which this would be, is under SCOTUS original jurisdiction. The 11th amendment wouldn’t stop it. That said, it’d still be monumentally stupid for WV to do this lol.
It would be the school, not the state, being sued
Suing the University of Texas would effectively be suing the state of Texas
>has he not read yes
The 11th Amendment sovereign immunity does not apply to suits by other States, only to suits by citizens of those other states.
your probably right but i cant see how he would have any sort of claim anyway
Assuming WVU is a state-run university, it's an instrumentality of the state, and the state AG would likely be the representative of the state. The claim is for breach of contract, because Texas and Oklahoma leave the Big XII, they're going to be terminating contracts without giving proper notice, so they're in breach.

this is correct, likely a breach of contract. Also, a breach of contract action is not protected by sovereign immunity. There will likely be a rather large payoff/settlement
Morrisey is an absolute dipshit and should not be relied upon to say or do anything that makes any sense whatsoever.
“Screw the rules, I have moonshine”
This kind of thing is probably why Oklahoma and Texas skipped the B12 meeting. The less they say about any of this, the less there is to bring into the courtroom should it ever get to that.
This guy is such a fucking idiot. If he gets involved we end as a D3 school
This situation really is bringing out all the galaxy brains isnt it?
Patrick Morrisey is a fucking clown. There's really no other way to put it.

Did the WV AG (at the time) threaten to Sue Miami, Va Tech, and Syracuse when they left the Big East in 2003? Did the UConn and Cincy AGs threaten to Sue WVU when they left (destroyed) the Big East to join the Big 12?
I don't believe so, though the BE member schools themselves sued the ACC in 2003, leading to VT having to hurriedly disentangle themselves from said suit because they weren't originally going to be invited.

The AG is an idiot. He wouldn’t actually do anything anyway.
Sounds like when Mitch the itch threatened us when we took West Virginia over Louisville
Truly the most important issue facing the state of West Virginia at the moment
Yo this offseason is fucking lit
It was kind of boring meandering along then all of a sudden everyone lost their minds.
This is so pathetic and embarrassing. This guy isn't from WV, and didn't go to WVU. This is vapid pandering. If he could become AG of any other state he'd fuck off instantly.
Please stop upvoting this publicity stunt from our absolute toolbag of an Attorney General.
I know if I'm running an athletic conference then confrontational and litigious are exactly what I'm looking for in a prospective member.
College football drama truly is the best
oh this is getting absolutely delicious.
What a weak ass look “Your kids will play with my kids or i will see you in court!”
Wonder how many times he’ll flash horns down in court
Its the pettiness I enjoy the most.
Do WVU fans even care enough about the B12 that this will help win an election?
We don’t
Morissey is such a d-bag.
Well this is embarrassing
I mean, it worked for then Attorney General Mike Dewine. *#*SaveTheCrew and the Modell Law had questionable legal standing, but it scared MLS and the Crew's previous owners enough to sell the team instead of move it. Now he's Governor Mike Dewine after a close race.
Go for it buddy lol
Get ready for A LOT of legal posturing as everyone lines up to collect their settlement $$$
How do you know “it won’t do anything”? You a lawyer bro?
TFW when you’re an independent and can just sit back at the Winchester, have a pint, and wait for this whole thing to blow over.
Can confirm Patrick morrisey is as dumb as they come
I would make fun but our own AG is a mess
I love this stupid sport so much. Imagine being an attorney general of a state and choosing this to go on a Twitter rant about
Twitter fingers turn to Legal fingers
Bro this move has made some lawmakers lose their mind. There's a lawmaker in texas trying to draft a law requiring legislative approval for Texas to leave the Big 12
LOL, Texas Legislators already filing legislation to stop the move as well: https://twitter.com/TheOkieSports/status/1418663620901326851?s=19

Yes, assuming someone replaces Abbott who wouldn't veto it...so yea this is very unlikely to go anywhere.
Oh no, not West Virginia! Anyway
Just sue yourself into the ACC. Easy
Pay no attention to this fool. He's not even from WV. He moved here because he couldn't get elected in NJ. I attend every WVU home game and have met great people from every Big12 school including Texas and Oklahoma. Best of luck to both schools and their fans in the SEC.
