Damn, is the Herd fan base dumb or what? Why bother to release who the Herd is playing each week? Just put out a schedule with the date and time, and fans can be surprised by what team shows up to play the Herd. Why not? What do the fans have to gain from knowing which team they're playing each week. Just show up, and do the thunderclap, and hope like hell it's Chase Litton bobble head day when you get to the stadium.
except for other schools playing D1 football.
Why does Marshall seem to be more secretive than other schools including some major power house programs?
Nobody indicates being entitled to information. Simply stated, if the Herd athletic department chooses to keep the fans in the dark, then so be it. It's their choice to do. Fans can then determine whether they want to support a program that chooses to run their operation that way.
Exactly. I'll just continue to drink beer and watch the Michigan game, as I usually do.
Doc purged the team of the many bad apples and square pegs the first two years so the first two years were an adjustment period. Then Rippon sucked in 2012 despite some good talent on defense and was fired. 2013-2015 were what most of us hoped Herd football would return to being, but 2016 was really a rebuilding year after losing 39 scholarship players from the 2015 team. 2017 could be a transition year back to being good, but many on here seem to hope we crash so that they can get rid of a coach they never wanted and an athletic director they never appreciated. Those people need to keep in mind that the grass isn't always greener on the other side.
Landon's articles on Johnson are exactly the reason they don't provide any real information on injuries anymore. Landon also did it to attack Doc and the program.
They do apply as the coaching staff also has a responsibility to not release the information. Only the player can give consent to release the information. The player has an upper body injury and is currently questionable for Saturday should be enough information.
Doc basically said that Brady is questionable for Saturday. I consider this to be more than enough info on injuries.
Nah, that just left-wing communism that wants that in our society. Law prevents the release of medical information without the player's consent.
It actually does apply to coaches and the administration as well.
It actually does apply to coaches and the administration as well.
You can't just look at the basics on the law. So who do the medical staff that take care of the players work for? MU correct? Who do the coaches and administration work for? MU correct? In other words, all MU personnel who are required to not publicly provide information on a player's injury without the players consent.No it doesn't. HIPAA has nothing to do with the coaches or administration.

My wife just told me I would be a millionaire if I got paid for my bitching.
