The Great Mountaineer vs. Sooner Showdown: A Tale of Ten Wins and One Very Confused Mountaineer Fan
Ah, West Virginia vs. Oklahoma. A matchup steeped in tradition, a battle for gridiron glory, and...wait, how many times has WVU actually beaten OU? Buckle up, fellow Mountaineer (or Sooner, no judgment here), because this is a wild ride through the history books (and maybe a healthy dose of denial).

| How Many Times Has Wvu Beat Oklahoma |
The Facts, According to Those Fancy Stats People
Let's get this out of the way first. Oklahoma has historically dominated the series, boasting a mighty 10 wins to West Virginia's measly 1. Yes, you read that right, 1. There's a reason why some Mountaineer fans might need to strategically forget a game or two (or ten).
But hey, that one win? Legendary. It was 2008, the Fiesta Bowl, and WVU, led by the magical arm of Pat White, pulled off a stunning upset for the ages. Mountaineer fans still talk about it in hushed, reverent tones (while simultaneously trying to forget the other ten games).
A Moral Victory, Right?
Look, maybe wins are a bit scarce, but that doesn't mean WVU hasn't put up a good fight! There have been close calls, valiant efforts, and enough fumbled snaps by Oklahoma to fuel a bonfire the size of the Appalachian Mountains. Moral victories count for something, right? Right? (Insert cricket chirping sound here).
Tip: Reread if it feels confusing.
So, here's to the underdog spirit! Here's to hoping next time is WVU's year! And hey, even if it's not, at least we can all agree that watching Oklahoma fumble the pigskin is pretty darn entertaining.
