For a story about letting a serial rapist return to campus, where he then raped two more coeds... Im sure that kind of notoriety is good for enrollment. Jesus.

I saw on FB where we have signed 2 early basketball players? Does anyone have any info, or Is this a football only board or a Marshall fan board?

They are one of the most corrupt poltical families in modern US history. Now they are going to get some payback. I am not always for this as politics can be a dirty game and all the back and forth gets old sometimes. But, the Dems and the Bidens deserve this one.

Jim Jordan and the new Congress are going after them, starting this morning. Good. The way the Dems went after Trump is unprecidented. Made up Russian hoax allegations. Raiding his house recently. They never even gave Trump a chance.

But, the reality with Biden is that he and his family are likely compromised by foreign entities, including potential adversaries. The corruption runs deep. Mysteriously we are in a proxy war in Ukraine and the money laundering continued. China, same thing.

Let the mudslinging and dirt begin. Dems started it and Biden is guilty as all get out.

According to Action Network (If you are a gambler you know they are a credible source)... ESPN has notified their conference partners and others that all teams with 6 wins will get a bowl game in 2022. If there are more eligible teams than bowl spots a new bowl game will be created (like they did with the Frisco Bowl last year).

They currently have us projected to play Ball State at the Lending Tree Bowl in Mobile... Which is at least on a Saturday, Dec. 17.

Action Network on Bowl Season

Another massive layoff kept quiet until after the election.

Wouldn't have made any difference though, as there's too many people voting for this nonsense. Hard to believe we have that many people willing to cut their own dick off when casting a vote.

Wow...what a difference from the Queens game. DD must have opened up a can'O whoop ass because we found game....

Go Herd!

Saw their picture on the news.

Time and again, the Marshall defense came up huge as the Thundering Herd was able to post a critical 28-21 victory over Appalachian State thanks in large part to the D, who missed just four tackles and allowed only two touchdowns despite seeing the Mountaineers advance inside, or start inside, Marshall territory on a whopping 10 of App State's 12 offensive series on the day in a truly clutch performance by the Marshall defense.

Highlights of the Thundering Herd's grades are below!

DEFENSIVE LINE:

On the D-line, both Immanuel Bush and TyQaze Leggs were tremendous forces as the duo posted PFF grades of 72 PFF and 71.6, respectively. Bush, who played 34 snaps, posted two tackles, a quarterback hurry and a batted ball while Leggs was fantastic, posting a whopping eight tackles off of the line including three quarterback hurries and a pair of sacks in 48 snaps.

Anthony Watts (66.5 PFF) and Sam Burton (64.9 PFF) also played well, with Watts making five tackles and Burton adding in two stops including a sack. Koby Cumberlander (62.4 PFF), Damion Barber (62.3 PFF) and Owen Porter (61.7 PFF) all posted grades above 60 with Barber and Porter combining for nine tackles and Porter adding in five quarterback hurries with Barber posting one himself.

Esisas Carpenter (61.1 PFF), Emmanuel Balogin (58.3 PFF), Elijah Alston (53 PFF), and Isaiah Gibson (50.5 PFF) rounded out the line play for the Thundering Herd.

LINEBACKERS:

As with the defensive line, the linebacking core was stingy through Saturday's contest, with the return of Abraham Beauplan to the lineup at home helping Marshall tremendously in that area. Beauplan, who continues to work his way back from a midseason injury, posted the team's highest PFF grade, notching six tackles and allowing just one completion for four yards in 35 snaps for an 84.6 PFF mark. Dan Foster, Jr. played in only three snaps but made a tackle and notched a 73.9 PFF mark.

Charlie Gray (67.1 PFF) and Eli Neal (66.7 PFF) were huge all game long. In addition to being durable -- playing in all 80 and 77 defensive snaps, respectively -- the pair were all over the field, with Neal leading Marshall with 10 tackles to go along with two quarterback hits and a quarterback hurry and Gray posting six tackles to go along with a quarterback hit and a hurry. The pair allowed six combined receptions in eight targets, but those completions went for a modest 54 yards. Neal made possibly the biggest defensive play of the game, stopping Appalachian State quarterback Chase Brice on a fourth-and-1 quarterback read option in the backfield for a turnover on downs to give Marshall the football back and preserve a 28-21 lead that the Herd would ultimately hold on to.

Jace Bobo (52.0 PFF, two tackles) rounded out the performance for the backers. Bobo allowed a pass reception for 14 yards.

DEFENSIVE BACKS:

After struggling with finishing tackles through much of the season, the defensive backfield was terrific in all phases as each of the seven defensive backs who played did not miss a single tackle Saturday evening and were also stingy throughout the contest.

E.J. Jackson's 75.2 PFF grade was second on the entire defense, and his six tackles not only led the defensive backfield but his 86 PFF tackling grade was the best among all Marshall players. Jackson also didn't allow a single reception his way. Alongside him, Steven Gilmore (74.1 PFF) was just as good, making five tackles with a pass deflection and only allowing one completion in four targets for 11 yards all game, while Kerion Martin's 72.2 PFF grade was also well-earned as Martin made four huge tackles, a quarterback hit, and a batted ball which came on another critical fourth down play in Marshall territory where the Herd turned Appalachian State away.

Jadarius Green-McKnight's two tackles and a pass deflection led to a 69.9 PFF grade for the safety while Micah Abraham notched a 69.7 PFF, making a critical interception in the end zone on a pass that Brice forced into double coverage on the first play following a Marshall turnover. Daytione Smith continued to play effectively while seeing extra playing time in place of the injured Isaiah Norman, allowing just two completions for 27 yards in six targets and forcing a pass incompletion on the final offensive play for Appalachian State that sealed the victory for the Herd en route to a 64.8 PFF grade.

D'yoni Hill's 44.8 PFF grade in seven defensive reps rounded out the Thundering Herd's defensive efforts. Out of all of the defensive backs, Jackson, Gilmore and Abraham played in all 80 snaps.

Just saw where the witch and her newly-elected dem legislature are coming after everyone's guns. Good thing you lost yours in the same boating accident that took Herdman's.

This system is broken, flawed, and we are being played.

They can't figure it out in 2022. Was better in 1822 and 1952.

And already running hit pieces on trump. I'll bet the CFOs are breathing a sigh of relief

He doesn't represent the state well. He always ends up turning his back on WV. He flips flops and then just goes the ways of the liberals.

Time to give him the boot, WV.

In a gritty effort, the Marshall Thundering Herd were able to claim a win in the annual game honoring 'The 75' as Marshall posted a 28-21 victory over Appalachian State in a thriller.

Offensively, Cam Fancher threw for 225 yards and two touchdowns (one each to Jayden Harrison and Corey Gammage) while Charles Montgomery added in 109 yards receiving himself. A full rundown of the offense's performance is below!

QUARTERBACKS:

Fancher, in accumulating his 225-yard performance, went 16-of-28 through the air and threw for the two aforementioned touchdowns to Harrison and Gammage as compared to the one interception that he threw. The redshirt freshman added in eight yards per completion and also ran for 37 yards on 12 carries en route to posting a strong 76.2 PFF grade.

Henry Colombi, who notched a 61 PFF grade in his two appearances (coming in for Fancher when the former had to leave for a series due to a slight lower body injury), went 1-of-1 for -5 yards.

RUNNING BACKS:

With Khalan Laborn fighting off noticeable aliments throughout the Herd's victory over Appalachian State, the running game wasn't as effective -- but Laborn still posted a decent 60.9 PFF grade en route to running for 53 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries, while adding a reception on the opening drive of the game for five yards. Ethan Payne ran for 32 yards on six carries to notch a 64 PFF grade while A.J. Turner posted a 60.6 grade, notching a carry for -1 yard. Owen Porter appeared in four plays as an extra lead blocker in the backfield and posted a 58.9 PFF mark.

WIDE RECEIVERS:

Marshall got a big-time effort from its wide receiver room Saturday, with Montgomery and Gammage combining for 200 yards receiving and two touchdowns on 11 catches to post much of the production as the wide receivers posted the best PFF grade as a unit.

Montgomery, who made one of the biggest plays of the day by taking a 3rd-and-18 screen pass and going 71 yards to set up a Marshall touchdown, notched his 109 yards receiving on five catches and posted the best PFF grade on the offense at 77.2.

Gammage, who scored a third-quarter touchdown on the far side of the end zone, notched 91 yards receiving and a touchdown on six catches to put Marshall ahead 28-14 with 7:57 to play in the third quarter, collecting a 72.9 PFF grade for the third-best mark on the entire offense.

In addition to the above duo, Jayden Harrison had a five-yard touchdown reception that capped off Montgomery's earlier effort on the same drive (putting Marshall up 14-0 with 7:12 to play in the second quarter) and notched a 71.2 PFF grade, while Shadeed Ahmed and E.J. Horton each collected a catch for six yards, posting PFF grades of 56.6 and 54.8. Caleb McMillan, who had a catch for three yards, rounded out the receiving core with a 48.8 PFF mark.

TIGHT ENDS:

From a tight end standpoint, Stacey Marshall, Jr.'s 60.3 PFF grade and Devin Miller's 48 PFF grade rounded out the efforts for the tight ends, who weren't targeted with any pass plays again. Marshall, Jr. posted a 61.8 run blocking grade while Miller obtained a 64.5 pass blocking grade.

OFFENSIVE LINE:

On the line, Dalton Tucker posted the best PFF grade, collecting a 61.6. Tucker posted an outstanding pass blocking grade, notching an 84.7 overall mark to lead Marshall in that category. Ethan Driskell followed with a 60 PFF, and like Tucker, was strong in pass protection, posting an 82.3 mark.

Guards Trent Holler and Cedrice Paillant posted marks of 58 and 57.8 PFF overall, while Kendrick Sartor and Logan Osburn, who were on the field for each of the 69 offensive snaps, collected PFF grades of 54.1 and 48.1 respectively. Holler's pass protection grade was 71.8 while Osburn's mark was an 83.3 in that area.

Doug Chapman said the word “panic” 49 times, I counted them all.

Herd D is historically good this season.

Clint Trickett is the most infuriating OC in the history of HERD Football, maybe ever in all of football, since the beginning of time.

Doug- the Play by Play guy needs a tutorial on how to pronounce the word “Appalachia” correctly.

Right out in the open.

So our spring game is now being held in the Chris Cline Indoor Practice Facility. Does this mean then that the new turf is going down now which made this change necessary?

Got a dilemma coming up Saturday. Herd vs. Ga. Southern football at 6 pm on +. Herd vs. Coppin St. bball at 7 pm on +. How can our AD put together a schedule like this?
Next Saturday is similar except both fb and bb are at home so I doubt they would be scheduled at the same time. Although, you never know.

what is their point? They need to start throwing the book at these people. Maybe flog them or something. Public caning.

RIP every bird, snake and rodent anywhere near the farm. Also RIP to the minks who will all die way worse than they would’ve anyway.
