When and if Alex Thomson is named the starter next week, there needs to be a reason fans can accept. The coaches simply saying "Thomson deserved it," wouldn't go over real well with fans.
This QB "Battle" is the oddest thing I can remember

Well, we are playing Miami-OH on the road, they are a veteran team that gave us a fight last season, and they are even favored in the game. We already have an advantage in that we have new coordinators so they won't have much if any game film to go by that shows our personnel playing in the new systems. Also, Thomson worked with our WRs all summer and they supposedly already have good chemistry. Green will likely start GM1 but that doesn't mean that Thomson won't eventually be our starter this season if his shoulder is healthy. I'm not sweating the QB competition as I have a good feeling about the position and the team this season.
I would like to throw in that I expect green to be a 2-3 year starter for us in what potentially should be a very good college career for him and one of the best QBs ever at MU.

Oh well, just a way to pass the time until basketball season. This will be the first trip to Miami I've missed.
We've won the last four ('17, '14, '13 and '04) and nine out of the last ten. They spanked us in 2003.
Oh I remember that game. I want to say our offense was doing so poorly, their defensive line started doing this weird dancing move, side to side, just pretending they didn't care or were preparing themselves for our next anemic play.
From what I have seen, this only happens at small-time ball. IU, UofL, UK...the dirt flies. UofL couldn't even hide a speeding ticket given to a basketball player...granted, he was in a car that belonged to a booster, but yeah that shit hit the news.
It's all relative. Look at the Ohio State situation. Do you honestly think that whole story came out in that "investigation?" No chance. For as bad as some of the stuff was that came out in that, imagine how bad the full story actually is.
I believe that game could also be remembered as Rothliesburgers Revenge, or Ben bends over the Herd..........oops now I'm the homophobe!!!
I'm not talking about cover-ups by university staff. Do you think media would "risk their access" to tOSU football to break that one? Hell yes, they would burn it to the ground. Why? It's big-time ball, big city media, and a big-time story. It's the kind of story that can advance a career. That's just not a good example. Same with the Louisville media burning UofL basketball and down and running out Tom Jurich. Now what I said about Kevin Ware speeding? Great comparison. Not a station in town nor the paper gave a damn what Pitino thought about that "character issue" hitting the news.
And I am not criticizing you either. Marshall is a fairly unique situation where it's in-between no-one-cares small ball and big-time sports, in a very loyal city with a limited media market (as I remember two of the four TV stations were so pro-WVU/blah-MU it was sickening). That gives Doc a lot more power and control. Your access to recruiting news is the best product you have. I get it. But it doesn't work this way a LOT of places, and can't work this way.
