Yes, it would be asinine.  Just as calling a mountain chain that by the maps you furnished does not touch the far western border of the state "running along the entire length of the western border" of said state would be asinine.

But keep on saying it does.  That's fine.
But while you're at it, find out if anyone calls western Virginia "west Virginia."


Are you kidding?  The running joke among West Virginians is when you tell someone you are from West Virginia their typical response is, “Oh, like around Richmond?”

No kidding. Every East Coast state treats their largest coastal city as though it is the center of the state. 

That's why West Point, Syracuse and Buffalo are all lumped together as "upstate NY." 

Anything anywhere near WV would be considered the extreme western part of the state.

Check this out.



So your argument is the only thing that constitutes western Virginia is the part out by Kentucky that is west of WV? That's your argument? If that were the case, then WV would be NV or even EV.

Already did. John Denver calls western Virginia west Virginia.

Two games today

New Orleans Bowl
3 pm, ESPN
Louisiana Tech v. Georgia Southern

Not exactly the most interesting set of teams, (Southern is 65th on F+ and Tech is 110th :().  But Southern likes to run a lot of option football, so that can always be interesting to watch.  Unfortunately, they are also having QB health issues so who knows what they will look like.  Meh.

Montgomery Bowl
7 pm, ESPN
Florida Atlantic v. Memphis

Willie Taggart returns to the postseason with FAU, facing a Memphis team that squeaked out a lot of wins to get to 7-3.  Memphis is 64th on F+ and FAU is 90th.  The most fun thing about this game is it may be the only one ever.  The bowl game was originally going to be the Fenway Bowl to be played at Fenway Park in Boston,  but COVID derailed that plan, so the Fenway Bowl will debut next year, and the Montgomery Bowl may be long lost.

Not great games, but it's better than NOT having football to watch, so I'm good.

Hmmmm. 

Southern option ball, I'll always take. Tech is odd because they've usually carved out a solid living with occasionally strong defenses and often high-powered offenses. They don't appear to be that year (the only thing they do well is prevent explosive plays), though their QB can be efficient in some ways. 

Memphis is explosive on offense and carved out a better record than the way it played. FAU is good on D, bad and boring on O. Not sure I'll watch, though I have almost nothing to do tonight, so perhaps it'll be on.
