Eastern Kentucky @ Marshall

[EastsideofWestside]

You guys do know the Eastern Kentucky Colonels are coming to town don't you? The Bulls will be on parade and I don't mean the Herd. While Marshall is my second favorite team, the Colonels are where its at.

What are everybody's thought about the game?

For the record, this is the first time I will be rooting against the Herd since the last time they played the Colonels.

 

[bbneutralfan]

Welcome to town. We expect a competitive game from EKU and your best shot at us. Been awhile since we have played. I remember the last game in Old Fairfield Stadium which EKU won and then later I believe we beat you in the 1-AA playoffs as the last time we played. Good luck.

 

[Herdmeister]

Welcome. With that said, if the game is close at all then we will have a very long season. I watched the EKU-Morehead game. Considering Morehead doesn't even give scholarships, EKU looked like a very mediocre FCS team. If that is what Marshall is then there is no hope for a successful season. Herd should win by at least 35

 

[EastsideofWestside]

You are correct. I expect Marshall to win this game easily. Marshall left the Colonels behind years ago. The bright side for me is that if the Colonels are going to lose, I'm glad it's going to be to Marshall.

This. EKU is picked mid-pack in the OVC, which is a lower than average I-AA conference. MU should put this one out of reach early and then play the scout teamers. Four difficult games to follow.

Why do you continue acting like an expert on things that you’re clueless about?

The OVC hasn’t finished in the bottom half of FCS conferences this entire decade (and possibly longer). Stop posting bullshit.

Used to root for Tech in the old WVIAC days, licious, going back to the Mike Barrett days in the 60s.

Now, however, since WVU orchestrated all that BS to screw Montgomery and really all of Fayette County, to HELL with them!! Let the campus deteriorate terribly from the moment the Neers A-holes took over which was the excuse they used as the reason to move the whole school to Beckley. And, Surprise! Surprise! (as Gomer Pyle would say), now all of a sudden WVU-Tech has the resources/$$$$ to build new facilities and renovate others, as they recently announced, in Beckley when for years they could not afford even basic, routine maintenance on the facilities in Montgomery!!

All part of the "master plan" of the ego maniac and habitual liar President of WVU, E. Gordy Geek, as he continuously schemes and manipulates in the halls of state government in Charleston to essentially take over and run all of Higher Ed. in WV. With a lot of behind the scenes help from the Bray(ing) Jackass Cary types in the Capitol!

So now when anything from WVU-Tech is playing, just Boo the F@#K out of them!!!

Now, however, since WVU orchestrated all that BS to screw Montgomery and really all of Fayette County, to HELL with them!!

I've had an evolving take on this over the course of my life, so just hear me out - I was a student at Tech when WVU took it over, and their takeover (and subsequent re-writing of the course catalogue) was actually the impetus that sent me to Marshall. WVU took a series of steps that seemed obviously intended to drive students away, the most galling of which was turning the student center into office space. After that, I did not care for WVU.

That said, as a native of Eastern Kanawha County I can tell you that the middle class neighborhood I grew up in now has abandoned homes where feral junkies live. Things in that part of the state had deteriorated by 1997, and that deterioration has only accelerated over the years since. I really believe Tech would be closed if it were still in Montgomery, so relocating it to Beckley at least keeps it alive.

Southern WV has very, very little hope of having an economic future, and that's not WVU's fault. Hell, they're the ones who published the report a couple weeks back saying coal was a dead end, and then Trump holds it up in the Civic Center to a chorus of boos. Fake news.

This thread has gone in an odd direction.

Again we have the tired childish name-calling from the twin identities of the Spamite poster not held to the same rules as everybody else.

Then we have a discussion of WV Tech. My WVU hater and racist Gee hater credentials are as solid as anyones. WVU long ago turned its back on serving WV, and seeks (and uses sports to further) massive over-funding grossly out of proportion to its in-state student body. Further, if $2 could be spent at, say Shepherd College, and it would return a billion dollars in benefit to the state, Gee and WVU would be opposed. Whatever is bad for WVU is good for WV, and v-v. Remember racist Gee said in sworn testimony "I am not concerned with the health of people in other parts of WV, only with the health of the WVU Medical Corporation." That is who he is and what WVU is.

But WV Tech's fate was sealed the day I-79 was finished. This "move" to Beckley is just a subterfuge for converting the place in an overgrown community college like the so-called WVU-Parkersburg. Students voted with their feet and four years in Montgomery was not most people's choice. It will not be the last state college to fail.

This state, 1.8M with the third oldest population and in decline, with less and less new HS graduates every year has ten residential colleges, one or two non-residential colleges, and nine community colleges, depending on how you classify things. Plus three medical schools spread out all over the state, which is totally WVU's fault.

The era where everybody needed a college within 20 or 30 miles of home is long over. Interstates. Corridors. We have far more colleges than we need. The future growth at Marshall University, in large part is best founded on being the best choice for future WV HS graduates as these unneeded and failing state colleges finally close.

Starting with WV State.

What any of this has to do with EKU or sports, I don't know.

While I agree WV state should be closed, considering the money spent on the next sports complex on its campus, that's not happening soon. WVU tech yes, Mountain State in Parkersburg needs to go, and why do we need a Bethany and a West Liberty 2 miles apart?

 

[HerdyGurdyMan]

why do we need a Bethany and a West Liberty 2 miles apart?

Bethany College is a private liberal arts college. The State of West Virginia doesn't have any control over it. That's one of the last colleges I'd want to see close. It has a beautiful campus. Only has about 700 students.

https://www.bethanywv.edu/

 

[GreenDuke]

WVSU is a land grant HBC, it is NOT closing.

 

[herdalicious]

On top of that, WV State is the real university of Charleston; its the only public college within 60 miles of Capitol Street.

We all get our fill of that by reading the guy’s Twitter who is in the White House. We don’t need you spewing even more bullsh!t.

http://time.com/5000792/youngest-oldest-us-states/

Your first link based "oldest population" simply on the percentage of residents over age 65. I shouldn't have to explain how illogical that is in determining the oldest population, but I suppose I have to.

Assume state A has 50% of its population being exactly 66 years old and the other 50% of its population being exactly 10 years old. Assume state B has 49% of its population being exactly 90 years old and 51% of its population being exactly 64 years old.

Based on your first link, state A would be considered the older population. See how asinine that is?

Your second link is the correct determination. You take the average of the entire population to determine what Samantha was trying to claim. In doing so, you'll see all of these sources putting WV as not being the third oldest state:

I agree. Sam is wrong. West Virginia does not have the 3rd oldest population. It has the 4th oldest population. Shame on you Sam.

Yes, West Virginia is not third, so I don't know why Samantha continues to spew false information on here. It is a very common occurrence. Maybe you can enlighten us on why he feels the need to pretend to be an expert on many fields yet provides this board with bogus information.

It's nice to see you back after nine months away. I still recall when you spent a couple of days posting on Pullman, only to have you disappear after you got your brains bashed in for foolish political posts.

You should head back over there. I need another punching dummy.

You're new, so I'll forgive your ignorance. For a decade, Samantha has done exactly what he has attempted to do in this thread: he has bashed many things, almost always by using bogus information, while acting like he is an authority figure on the topic. Years ago, he blocked me because I would frequently call out the misinformation he would post on here on numerous topics.

The one that really set him off into a meltdown of cussing, name-calling, and claiming that I was a wvu fan was when he claimed that 84% of Auburn's black students were student-athletes at the school. He was using that claim as a way to attack some institutions (as you have noticed he frequently does). I quickly and easily refuted his claim and showed it to be wrong by a huge margin.

I agree. Sam is wrong. West Virginia does not have the 3rd oldest population. It has the 4th oldest population. Shame on you Sam.

You're also new, so read what was told to Chubby. Samantha routinely makes arguments that are opinion based, but stated as fact by using what appear to be accurate statistics. However, he almost is always wrong and extremely misleading in the false information he posts.

 

[oldeherd]

Per an above post, I believe the Mountain State school in Parkersburg is a private, and not a state, school. However, WVU-Parkersburg is a state supported school, a branch of WVU like Potomac State (or Pot State as it is frequently called!).

[houston herd guy]

OK, this has developed into a post secondary school conversation. kinda off base for the OP. LMAO.

So the question for schooling past HS is what and where are the jobs where you can be successful. Those who have an understanding of costs and success will understand that borrowing 100K for a BA/BS degree in basket weaving will allow them to pay back the loan by the time they are like 60 years old. but those who are high end to be doctors, lawyers, engineers, and other high pay degrees and have the drive to push through to getting the degree the 100 or 250k in loans are prolly a good investment. The people who do not have those aspirations would be better off going to a tech school or community college and learning a trade.

I would suggest that WV set up 3 or 4 state universities from those that are there now. As many as 12-15 small regional community colleges where those credits are accepted at all 3/4 universities. The cost for those who want the lesser paid jobs, like teachers, social workers, and such is reduced by a whole bunch. Those who want a good Blue collar profession are good.

This is part of the system in TX and many other states. My son has spent 2 years at a community college part time prepping for nursing school. He has been accepted for fall of 2019. Cost btwn me, my ex, and him has been about 7k for the last 3 years part time. When he starts nursing school for 2 years will be about 12k plus living expenses. He will have about 10k in loans when all said and done, and in a job making close to 50k a year with no experience.

He has a friend that did 18 months at the CC to get an electrian's certification and license(cost less than 5k). Finished at 20 Yrs old and at 23 is making 30 bucks an hour -- around 75k a year. He works 50 hours a week.

The whole college thought for the snowflakes is off base. some of the snow flakes like my son and his friend have melted the stupidity and realized life can be good but being productive in professions that are in demand and present a positive influence on others if they watch what others that have some sense are doing.
