A win puts us in the championship 2 years in a row. A title and a bowl game win are in reach.We still have a shot at a 10 win season. Now go get it done Herd!
Biggest game in a long time tomorrow
- Thread starter ohio herd
- Start date
Have a feeling we will be down 28 at half, a late run to make it look close, final score 42-28 WKU.
glad your not playing tomorrow
It is great to be realistic, but for tomorrow, I'm hoping for a bit of a holiday miracle with our defensive backfield. This is a real test of Huff's coaching team, win this one and they've earned their wings for sure.
Someone please explain how Marshall is favored to win against WKU? I fear our secondary will get roasted all day tomorrow.
I wish our fan base was half of what Nebraska’s is. They are 3-8, no bowl game and playing last game of the year. The stadium is sold out and the place is electric.
For sure. I also wish we were playing a P5, 9-2, top 25 ranked Iowa at home........
I be damned. Thought the OP was discussing the Ohio State-Michigan game.
Been a Herd fan for almost 50 years That is the such a piece of shit post to say about a college /program that you supposedly root for
Lincoln’s a tad bit bigger and more prosperous than Huntington. Their support is admirable
Just my opinion. As a team we are not ready to win a big game.
I don’t like how this one looks for us. They come in on a hot streak with an offense that is by far the best we have seen all year.
But maybe we can find a way to put it all together and win this thing.
If we lose, we will go 3-3 at home this year. Outside of the season we don’t speak of, I don’t recall that bad a recoded at home in a while.

The purpose of a line is to "balance the book", which is to say have an equal amount of money bet on both sides of a proposition. All sports gambling, if you go far enough into the math, the bettor is laying 10 to win 9. If the book is balanced, then the house does not care who wins. It makes that profit (the "vig") either way.
The purpose of a line is NOT to predict who will win, or what the score will be. Las Vegas' goal is to NOT CARE who wins. (This, BTW, is why people that tell you idiocy like "Vegas really needs the Bears" or "Vegas lost a lot last weekend", are idiots and don't know a darn thing about sports gambling.)
So, Group of Five football. How much money really is laid on a random game, lost among 50 others, including all the rivalry games, plus all the basketball neutral site tournaments, the pros, etc?
Not much.
So, Marshall. More fans than the rest of CUSA, combined. In a state with LEGAL SPORTS GAMBLING. On your cell phone, with most of the nine competing apps listing the Herd and that other team, at the top of the list of games, above the ranked teams; and offering specials and props to soak up the dumb money.
WKU. Several dozen fans. In a state where sports gambling remains illegal.
There are enough posters on this board to move the line on a Marshall game.
A few things to your points:
The same supposed hot streak and intimidation from a team who can win, was seen in FAU, and since they lost to MU, they haven't really been the same.
Sadly, MU didn't have a tough marquee matchuo to lose at home to. At least that horrible, terrible, no good, very bad season had a Heisman Trophy winner in it.
Agreed. this board is the Gimmie tribe personified. Give me wins, give me success, if not you suck.
15 until game time and this place is dead. Huff should leave. He and the team deserve better.
Love all the people that complain about the stadium not being full watching at home.
A POS who was correct.
That didn't age too well, now did it?
As to basketball, WVU isn't really very good at the WVU level this year. Probably round of 32 at best. Cannot rebound and too slow.
They would assream the Herd by whatever they cared to.
Congrats, on an online forum where you have a 50% chance of being right, you are. Since it's the only thing you are right about, I'll give you this one.
Congrats you correct POS.
What do you want people to say?
The live gate fans, the people of Huntington and environs more or less, seem to get football more than a lot of others. The results of these games are not surprises. Asking people to spend $$ to see a team with WILL NOT win is a big ask.
I honestly don’t care. It will be another mediocre team. We don’t deserve any better. Just can hope it’s far enough out for Wells to play.
When over 80 teams go to a bowl the majority of them will have mediocre teams
