Ouch!

Write up on the starting bowl QBs.

71 . Isaiah Green, Marshall
Thundering Herd

Year: Sophomore

A passing grade below 70.0 is pretty much a
death knell for us, especially if it comes against
C-USA competition. With a 66.2 passing grade
this year and three games with under 100
passing yards, Green isn't on the radar.

2019 Football Season

So what if we were predicted to win C-USA East? So what if we were predicted to win C-USA? So what if we lost to a bad MTSU team by double digits? So what if the attendance at the FIU game will be outdrawn by Herd basketball games? So what if we lost to Charlotte by double digits? So what if we were the biggest underdog in a bowl game this season? So what if we couldn’t even cover an 18 point spread? .....forgot where I was going with this, it was obviously a wonderful season worthy of another extension.

Yes, we had injuries. Yes, we had poor weather for some games. Yes, we lost key players. You also know what, so does EVERY program in the damn country.

Hamrick needs to

seriously start thinking about trying to save what remains of the fan base. Unless Coach Stowers and Aaron are going to commit to buying 3-4,000 season tickets each my guess is numbers are going to continue to decline and it could be dramatic.

More than anything, Marshall fans want offense. Losing two games this year while only scoring 13 in each, losing one by only scoring 7, having a completely inept passing game that leads to running draws most times when facing 3rd and more than 8 (and running routes short of the chains when you do throw it), punting from inside the opponents 40 - that's not the kind of football that will get, or keep, people in the stands.

At this point Hamrick needs to start getting concerned about his legacy. He is exactly what ECU fans said he was when we hired him, a good facilities AD, but a bad athletics performance AD with a poor understanding of football coaching hires. He's exactly what the UNLV fans said, good at facilities but an alienator of the fan base.

This is his alma mater, I hate for him to be remembered here the same way he is at his other stops. Hope he doesn't let his blind loyalty to John lead to his own demise. We need a fresh start.

Bowl Trip

Who all is going to the game on Monday?

Plan on leaving tomorrow. Renting a car and driving. Flying back at 5am on Christmas Eve.

We had a great time last year. We stayed at these little rustic cottages right on the beach in Treasure Island.

I need food though. Last year the only thing I had good was a meat lovers pizza somewhere. Anyone have any can’t miss grease pit type places to go?

Ride Into the Sunset

It’s funny because as I type the thread title, I misspelled Sunset for Sinset. Anyway, with Coach Doc’s last year on the arise, I project a Conference Championship with a hot new young Coach in-waiting. The Herd slogan, “We Play For Championships” will be reenergized, we finally breakout and consistently dominate Conference USA. Coach Doc will ride into the Sunset leaving on top, while leaving no doubters.

Follow up from Christianity Today...

From CT's editor in chief editorial...

Reader responses to Mark Galli’s recent editorial have spanned the spectrum. We have received countless notes of encouragement from readers who were profoundly moved. They no longer feel alone. They have hope again. Many have told us of reading the editorial with tears in their eyes, sharing it with children who have wandered from the faith, rejoicing that at last someone was articulating what they felt in their hearts. They felt this was a watershed moment in the history of the American church—or they hoped it would prove to be. Stay strong, they told us, knowing we were about to reap the whirlwind.

On the other hand, we have heard from many readers who felt incensed and insulted. These readers felt the editorial engaged in character assassination, or maligned a broad swath of our fellow evangelicals, or revealed that we prefer the Democrats to a President who has done a lot of good for causes we all care about.

Of course, we appreciate the support and listen humbly to the criticisms. But at the end of the day, we write for a readership of One. God is our Tower. Let the whirlwind come.

President Donald Trump would have you believe we are “far left.” Others have said we are not Bible-believing Christians. Neither is true. Christianity Today is theologically conservative. We are pro-life and pro-family. We are firm supporters of religious liberties and economic opportunity for men and women to exercise their gifts and create value in the world. We believe in the authority of Scripture.

We are also a global ministry. We travel the world and see the breadth and depth of what God is doing through his people all around the planet. It is beautiful, and breathtaking, and immense. The global Body of Christ—and the community of evangelicals—is vastly larger than our domestic political squabbles. But partly on behalf of that global body, we can no longer stay silent.
