Trap game for who? For the team that's lost 22 of the 34 games played, or for the team that's had more recent success?Trap game.
BTW, I'll be hosting a weekend long party at my place when the Herd visits the Zoo.
BYOBs (Bud and buds)
I would imagine thousands of them, since a nice percentage of the enrollment are West Michigan residents. Of course, you know most prefer the row the boat style over the Coach Jenkins offspring thuggery.How many of those “beautiful Kalamazoo coeds” will be there? I was told that they stay there all year and never leave during breaks, so you should have plenty there.
I like that we are going to play WMU, but I don't like playing FCS schools. It is a no-win situation. The OOC should be 1 mid level P5, 1 or 2 top G5 programs, and 1 or 2 games against a MAC or Sun Belt opponent.Solid. MU ideal football schedule, IMHO, is one "step up" game, preferably one for one, but if a cash game, against a REALLY big name; a I-AA; and two teams from the MAC or SBC.
I would rather play WMU than some of the closer lightweights in Ohio.

Hamrick has done a solid job with scheduling. Our future slates are shaping up nicely (2020 is AMAZING).As an addendum to my above post, with two of the 3 G5’s that we have on this years schedule being a pre season top 25 Cincinnati and Boise who no matter whether they are good or bad has the rep, if you changed VMI with a Purdue or Wake Forest type P5 this would be a great schedule for Marshall.
2024 is out there a ways, and will be close to the end of the Doc era. He'll be 67 then, unless he's one of those guys that will work until he's 80.

You’ll be nearing retirement or retired. Forget the weekend...retirement is a yearlong party!btw, please disregard my earlier reply about hosting a weekend long party.
I just realized I'll be 65 years old when that game is played, and I'll likely either be using a walker, a Walmart scooter, or worst yet, dead.

A money P5 game in 2021 would work well but would leave us with only five home games, which is not something we should or will consider doing. Maybe we will re-up with Ohio and they will come to Htown in 2021. That would mean four G5s OOC, which is not ideal even though all four games would be interesting match-ups for our fans.

Halfway through the work day, and I tend to believe you have a valid point. Walden was probably right in his many forum writings.I don't understand why people assume this would be worse.

I'm only 40, but I have young kids and 99% of my life is doing stuff I have to do on behalf of other people, and at this point I'm cool with knowing this ends eventually.Halfway through the work day, and I tend to believe you have a valid point. Walden was probably right in his many forum writings.
