This should spice up the Big12 a little bit.

Does the hiring of Gee, a church of LDS member, mean he will want to curb beer sales at WVU sporting events? Alcohol use is in direct conflict with LDS views, just a thought. He has made very offensive comments regarding Notre Dame and Catholics while at OSU for their viewpoints, but will he have any crisis of conscious with the brew imbibing Mountaineer fans representing him and his new university? Probably not, money will talk and will triumph in his mind. I don't care either way, just don't like hypocrites who judge others but fail to abide by their own credos/values. If I am thinking wrongly on this guy's background please set me straight!

Somebody refresh my memory...I seem to remember that Gee, during one of his many rants about various schools, took a slam at West Virginia over their academics, called them a bunch of hillbillies or something to that effect. I know he slammed Notre Dame, TCU, and a couple of others for various things, but I also seem to recall him dissing WVU. Am I just imagining this, or does someone else recall the same thing?

Gee is an excellent fund raiser. Wvu must have a capital campaign going on.
