MATCH DAY

[herdfan06]

Terrible play by Marshall's goalkeeper.

Keeper's gonna hate, hate hate.

 

[HobeHerd]

Yea I thought he would kick it out instead of that

Vermont has momentum right now for sure gotta end it in regulation I don't think we'd win in extra time or pk

Wow the announcers are such homers for V

This official is too slow for the game.

 

[HobeHerd]

Shit call

 

[wvkeeper(HN)]

Marshall absolutely blew that game.

Second most embarrassing thing to happen to this university in the month of December.

 

[HobeHerd]

Yea

 

[ThunderCat98]

Didn't deserve the win, to be fair.

 

[HobeHerd]

Goalie blew it or it wouldn’t have come down to overtime

 

[wvkeeper(HN)]

Outside defenders were out of position on both goals.

Both FBs shouldn't be pressing up at the same time.

 

[ThunderCat98]

I hate their coach. Fvck that guy.

 

[FreddyReef]

We lost that game faster than Huff got on the bus to southern miss…

 

[wvkeeper(HN)]

Vermont played harder and took advantage of their chances.

Enough about Marshall's really good soccer program. It's time for Herd fans to go back to bitching about the football team and Huff.

I really don't understand why you're such an apologist for Huff. He had opportunities to extend his contract, chose not to and continued to talk to other programs when he agreed not to.

He was barely a .500 HC until he and the team started performing like a baseball player during a contract year.

I agree Marshall fans, like virtually all sports fans, can be extremely negative and that takes a lot of the enjoyment out of the experience. However I think there is a primary reason Charles Huff is at USM and not at MU and that is Charles Huff himself.

Please quote where I'm a Huff apologist, really please, provide proof. I thought he did a very nice job of coaching this years team. The proof is in the pudding. A conference championship. Maybe he wanted to leave, maybe he was chased off by West Virginia rednecks, we'll probably never know the true reason. My point is that lately Marshall fans on the forum bitch about EVERYTHING. And you proved my point, you couldn't wait to twist it back to football and Huff.

I proved nothing. You were the one who brought football and Huff into this thread. See below...

I'm not a soccer fan but this loss stung tonight.

Had to throw in the discreet race card...

Here are some of your posts where you are playing the devil's advocate for Huff, basically being an apologist for him.

Marshall will spin it to their advantage. The truth is you have a coach who won a conference championship in his 4th year, in what is regarded as the best G5 conference, and the AD let him get away. Spears is in way over his head and needs to go.

Possibly, however he was quoted as saying Huff was the best coach he had ever played for.

He was a good enough fit for us to win a conference championship. So I'm guessing you're okay with a coach that goes 6-6, 5-7 and 4-8, but really wants to be here?

But he still pulled the team together after the Southern game to win the SBC championship. Have you ever heard the expression "lose the battle, win the war?" That's exactly what this years team did.

And this one didn't age too well did it???

The national media loves Huff, he'll land upwards if he doesn't get extended at Marshall. UCF, Temple, UNCC are landing spots that have deeper pockets.
