The truth behind the '96 fiasco
- Thread starter Utley58
- Start date
Trump's EPA selection?
Once again a thread without any factual evidence other than persons "connected" or "close to" or source not wanting to be identified etc. So why even start this?
I'm not going to in depth because that's premium info that only people on #OldFairfield have access to.
Think about this for a minute though. In the world of social media and rumor mills, how on Earth did it take six weeks before something was said about this situation?
I mean, members of the '96 team did multiple interviews and had ample time to discuss their displeasure since that weekend and not a word was mentioned prior to Landon's article. Think about that. I mean, don't you think that's a little odd?
Exactly what Josh Stowers said. I heard Pruett forced Landon to write that article some six weeks after the "event." Tim Stephens wrote an article after that game and none of the '96 team complained. Pruett's intent was to shake up things so much that our AD would lose his job and he could roll into it.
There is no way Pruett could be our AD. The man is too old. He doesn't need that gig.
I really don't give a damn who is to blame but I know in 5 decades of watching Marshall football, this has to be the worst season I have ever experienced on many levels. It's an embarrassment and a shame. Those responsible should be held accountable to fix it - pronto!

This idiocy is reaching conspiracy theorist tin-foil hat level nuttiness.
So, let me understand this idiot theory.
- Some troll, or perhaps the better term is sock puppet, for its first post on the board ever, says it heard various unnamed people "talking" about a vast conspiracy. Apparently the focus of this vast conspiracy was to engineer a supposed slight in sideline access (a story so insignificant it is not worthy of mention) in order to replace the AD with a 73 year old man who has been collecting a pension for 12 years, and has no experience in athletic administration.
- This story was apparently "forced" on anti-Marshall columnist Chuckie Landon by said 73 year old man.
- The fact that said 73 year old man has been on Jimmy Justice's payroll for years and, if he wanted it, could simply get the job as spoils for Justice's recent election is to be ignored.
- All of this is supported by secret info in the premium recruiting board, with the above slighted ballplayers having been recruits 24 years ago and being currently men in their 40.
- Or perhaps it not MH's job that said 73 year old man wants, but rather DH's. The fact that he would be the 4th oldest coach in I-A (with two of the higher ones already making succession plans) is, as in all conspiracy theories, to be ignored as it does not further the wing-nut conspiracy, as is the fact that said senior citizen has not been involved in football coaching for over a decade.
What this all means, really, is that MU fandom is currently divided into two. Those who wish to piss and moan about ONE bad year, want everybody fired for it, and want to complain about the schedule, the TV, the conference, game start times, beer, no beer, parking, sideline access, and whatever else. And Herd fans.
Go Herd.

This was covered in another thread - Andy Serkis doing mo-cap as Landon.

is this serious? It seems like a giant troll... Kind of like a season in which we lost to UNCC, ODU, and North Texas...
Andy, Aaron Ferguson went on that guys Twitter and told him he's full of crap. So we can now throw Aaron in with the conspirators. LOL
Did he hold a gun to Landon's head or put him in a submission hold until he wrote the article?
Good for hamrick. If that's the way it happened I wouldn't have told bob the same thing.
have heard from more than one person "in the know" that pruett and landon (and a couple of other "names") actively fight against doc and hamrick at every turn
Probably because Pruett is sick of seeing his team be buried into irrelevance.
wow that is sad to hear.You know Doc and Mike may not be their pic but I believe both are giving 100%
Unfortunately this isn't a business where "Trying your hardest," amounts to much on its own .
so this is that "fake news" stuff a lot of people are crying about...
That Hamrick account is a parody but what it/he tweeted is not a joke.
