Dude
I know. Driving
45 minutes to watch a Herd basketball game? Why don't you just go ahead and
play the game in space.
And to see them play who? Some middling team from the Big Roman Numerals Conference that our fans are completely and utterly ambivalent about? Maybe if it was a team that the Huntington fans like to come out to see, like a Concord or a Brescia or a High Point, but "Western Virginia University?" Who the hell is that?
And that venue! The Charleston Civic Center is old and decrepit. Those seats are cramped and uncomfortable, and they don't even have those ceiling paint flakes or sidewall dirt that makes the Hendo Center feel so much like home.
Good riddance to this game, I say. For far too long, the Huntington fanbase has been subjected to having to watch (on TV) Marshall actually play WVU (on TV) in sports MY GOD ITS ON MY TV JUDITH TURN THE GODDAMN CHANNEL. The sooner we get these games cancelled, the sooner we can move them all to an arena where Marshall can actually compete with WVU, like the press or an internet message board or something.
Marshall fandom isn't about going to games, supporting the team, showing devotion or having courage - its about hiding behind the city limits of the one place on the planet Earth where Marshall fans are in the majority and lobbing flaming bags of shit over the invisible wall at the backs of people who otherwise wouldn't care that we existed.
