They just lost on the road yesterday to #3 Kansas by two (2) points. What makes you think we could "thrash" them? Sagarin rankings indicates wvu has the 6th toughest schedule in college basketball. Sagarin also says Marshall has the 230th toughest schedule in college basketball. You think we would "thrash that bunch?" Lol, the fantasy world you live in. We could perhaps beat them. Anything is possible in college basketball.
I hate WVU athletics more than any other team, and just as much or more than most in this board. But like my previous post… you’re right. We couldn’t touch them and they’ll be seeded just fine in the NCAA that will probably get them to at least the round of 32.
So what you are saying is they live rent free in your head? Be bigger than that
What I wish everyone of our fans would realize is playing WVU is lose-lose for Marshall, AND lose-lose for WVU. If we beat a 16-13 team, do we really get a boner from that? Are we really that terrible of a program? If we lose, that sucks and ruins a good season.
Yes, we are historically that terrible of a program that beating the worst WVU team in years would still get a lot of people excited. The same way it did when we used to beat them in Charleston en route to a 14-18 record.
No, it doesn't... We have played zero good teams, and a loss to WVU would at least be a "good" loss... Beating the worst teams in all of Division I (Chicago State, Miami Oh, Coppin State, etc - Not to mention Glenville State) does less for us than losing to a P5 borderline tournament team.
It sucks to me.. I know our schedule blows, but I don't feel like ending the year on a loss to WVU. Making the tourney a few years ago, only to get embrassed by WVU was misery. I am just fine not playing them, and focusing on basketball instead of focusing on WVU. I don't need the extra drama, rooting for us to win a tourney game would be drama enough.
I agree with you, I've been a vocal proponent of never playing WVU in any major sport ever again... Unfortunately, for some folks (especially a subset of college sports fans in the state of West Virginia) trying to beat WVU is a big deal, so that topic of conversation will never be dead.
When the focus is beating someone instead of improving our own program, then progress is hindered.
To be fair, nobody really can measure Marshall at this point.
We are their ultimate rival! We compete everyday for funding and we have gotten the short end of the stick for over a 100 years. Is it the end of the world if they refuse to play us in sports, no it's not but I don't agree with Cam that is our sole "focus" and that deters us from wanting to improve overall..
Yeah I really don't agree with any of this. Although of course they brag about beating us. I'm sure they know it gets under your skin.
I don't think it is our sole focus... I am saying it shouldn't be. Some fans are more obsessed with hating or beating WVU than they are with Marshall. I was referring to the small minority of those idiots.
The best way to piss off WVU and it's supporters is to grow our institution, ignore everything they do, and have success in athletics across the board.
That sounds anticlimactic. What kind of p*%#y shit is that. We should revel in their losses, and want nothing good for any of their programs. I still stand by my previous statement that they would stomp us this year and most years in most sports.
Well no damn joke they don't give a shit what we do. Why the hell should we give a **** what they do? I don't! **** them. Some posters on here look like jilted school girls left at home on prom night when talking about how they wish we could play them. Lol!
And Hitler made the trains run on time. Huggins dismissal from Cincinnati should have ended his career. He should never have been admitted to any hall of fame.
Game passed him by. Time for the fat bastard drunk to move on.
You'll get no argument from me.
No I am not suggesting that. Read it again. You are apparently not reading anything I am saying and just reading the first 5 words and responding.
What kind of stupid comment is this. You sound like one of those guys who compared Trump to Hitler too. These are the kind of comments that make our fans look like jackasses, when in reality its only a minority of idiots, like yourself.
I am still missing your point- some Herd fans are more obsessed with beating and hating WVU than they are growing our program. I am starting to think you are one of them.
You’re probably too dumb to understand the analogy. Not comparing Huggins to Hitler, only saying that just because you do one good thing - the poster said Huggins was a good coach - it doesn’t make up for all the bad you do. Just because Huggins can coach basketball, doesn’t erase his long history of problems with alcohol.
I get the analogy you dumbass.. but referencing Hitler is ridiculous. It just makes our fanbase look stupid, like you are doing right now.
Screw you. You’re just another Johnny-come-lately to this board that believes only his posts matter. You have already shown you have no reading comprehension, don’t embarrass yourself further by believing anything you say matters.
Geezer - You are outside your lane. Your strength does not include put downs & jabs at fellow Marshall fans. Any reference to Hitler is unnecessary & goes over most posters heads, since you are referencing someone from 80 years ago!
I graduated, but I don't need to justify myself to some washed up jackass that probably thinks hes a big deal because he donates to Big Green and hes some 73 year old has been.
I understand you’re angry today. Pulling a double shift at the Dairy Queen can be upsetting so I’ll let it pass.
