Apparently

Braxton is now in the portal. Hope some of ya'll are happy with this. Apparently it only takes sacrificing our team to get this "home run" hire.

Do you really think he wasn't going to test his portal value after this season???

Where did MU get Braxton from??? Hmmm... Let's see... The portal...

BTW if you look at Braxton's stats his freshman year at Tulsa were very similar to his junior year at MU. The primary difference is he got to start more games at MU.
 
The main issue I have is that the season ain't over yet. You cannot spend your life hopping from place to place and think things will be fine. At some point you have to actually settle down, make a choice, and stick with it. That applies not just to football but life. Everyone complains that NIL has damaged college football. I make the argument that having the portal open multiple times a year is just as damaging. Especially since there are no penalties like there used to be.

You're literally preaching to the choir.

Braxton had a great season and no doubt caught the eye of bigger programs with more money. He would have been gone regardless of whether Huff stayed or not. The only question is will Huff get enough NIL money to keep all of our players who entered the portal.
 
Huff leaving for Southern Miss reminds me of an old joke. A second place contestant won a TWO week vacation in Haiti. The first place contestant won a ONE week vacation in Haiti. Hattiesburg doesn’t sound like the greatest place in the world to me.
Had a guy I was stationed with from there. Said it was a pretty dangerous place. That was a few years ago so maybe its been cleaned up since then?

I'm actually wondering if Braxton did get picked up by a bigger program. Time will tell but I won't be surprised if we see him and a few others wearing black and gold.

Well, let me wave my magic ****ing wand and stop players in college football from using the portal.

Look I'll go ahead and apologize for any offense given. I wasn't calling out anyone in particular nor do I think we are terrible fans. I actually believe we have some of the best and most passionate fans out there. I would just like to see some stability with our program for once and I assumed had Huff stuck around then we would still have some of those players. It seemed, at times, that the players were bought into Huff more than the program. This post was really made as a knee jerk reaction to our players leaving. That and possibly being a little hungover from a wedding the previous night.

He didn't play in enough games to lose his eligibility, did he? I could be wrong, but think you get four games.

Huff has been losing top players every year from so-so teams. So my guess is he would have lost even more from a team that had a good season and more all conference guys.

Stability for the G5 is just gone. If they don’t fix it the fans won’t be far behind.

Looks like all our 3rd and 4th stringers will get their big chance in our bowl game.

Probably not. Braxton, Earle, Pennington are in the portal. That leaves Paracheck. Do we have a 5th? If Para gets hurt we may have to go to the wildcat.
 
To each his own. I always liked Huntington while many on this board trash it.

I don't think it has been fair for Marshall fans to knock Hattiesburg how we have, and I get it is coming from a point of frustration over the situation. I absolutely love living in Huntington and, while I could move anywhere I want, don't have the slightest inclination to leave. The things that make me the happiest are here, and I'm sure a lot of people in Hattiesburg feel the same.
