All quiet in Huntington

It's odd to me that everyone hated on him and questioned his character and yet Foster was right there with him and no one ever criticized him.

Litton was such a crybaby cancer on the roster everyone was glad when he left,

We (fans, boosters, etc) want to win league titles... That's why the change was made and you're right, more years of 8-4 isn't the desired result.

Weird football purgatory is difficult to deal with... On one hand, there are a ton of programs that would absolutely love to consistently win 7 to 9 games. On the other, you want to break through and be conference champs at some point.

Marshall got to where they are because of championships… we have had 1 in the last 20 years… we have totally lost the ability to develop players (Coaching). I’m so over 8 - 9 win seasons, not saying we need one every year but we should have more then 1 in 20+ seasons… Go Herd!!!

Somehow, such a state is considered "mediocre" by a few.

Mediocre: of only moderate quality; not very good
Similar to: ordinary, average, middle-of-the-road

Marshall football has been the very definition of mediocre for the vast majority of the last decade or so. We play in middle-of-the-road bowl games and finish in the middle of the pack. Not sure why wanting to actually return to championship level football is so bad and just unreasonable. We can play the "well there are other teams that would love to be like us" stuff all day long as that game can be played from the last place to the 2nd placed team. If you don't want to be as good or better than the team ahead of you then what's the point.

People like you will say, "what's the point" when the NCAA announces some bowl change or shift.

Unless you're a P5 program (and a top tier one at that) will you even get a sniff for a major bowl game.
Even when ranked in the top 10, MU played in a routine Bowl game...not one of the cool ones or major ones.
You complain about the widening gap between the haves and have nots, then complain that MU can't get a decent bowl invite.
Good lord, you can't be this absent minded.

Your definition of returning to a higher level isn't going to be as easily realistic as you wish it were...and you say it constantly in your rants about the NCAA in general.

Even if MU wasn't winning championships, they were remaining consistent.
Remind me where WKU is going for conference re-alignment after winning all those CUSA titles again?
What happened to NIU, WMU, or Hawai'i, who should have been huge programs after making a BCS bowl game?! Oh yeah, nobody knows, nobody cares.
MU was the talk of the town when they got invited to the rising star of the SBC.
Maybe MU was actually doing something right for once.
