Other than busing down to Huntington to go out in the first round of this &^%*hole of a tournament, I would imagine you all should be more than grateful you aren't playing Wisconsin-Milwaukee or something.

I for one am not upset about playing in this Tourney, its just extra practice for next year.

I thought you were talking to the fans.  There will be no fans going.  Marshall is, in fact, only slightly better.  I'm not the one saying that.  The selection committees at the NCAA, NIT, and CBI have said that by your omission in their tournaments.  Marshall won the heads-up game by 8 points.  The Herd isn't Kansas. You might like watching those football games on TV, but the fan support is clearly worse than it was when 10,000 fans would get in their cars and drive to Akron on a Saturday afternoon.  I would even argue that your fan support was better in the Southern conference.  UTEP might be a better S.O.S. game, but the Joan isn't rocking like it used to.  The Herd caravan for road games in the 90's is long gone.

NOT SURE IF IT IS THE OVERWHELMING AMOUNT OF FRIED FOODS AND SAUSAGE GRAVY THAT WE CONSUME IN HUNTINGTON OR THE EVER PRESENT COAL DUST LINGERING IN THE AIR DOWN HERE BUT I'M THINKING THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE ONE OF THE BCS CONFERENCES IS GOING TO WANT US TO JOIN SHORTLY.  NEVERMIND THAT WE HAVEN'T BEEN IN THE NCAA TOURNAMENT IN 25 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER WON AN NCAA TOURNAMENT GAME.  HECK WE'VE NEVER EVEN WON AN NIT GAME. WE ARE MARSHALL.

Doc, I was having a really crappy Monday. Then your post came along and flushed away the blues (or browns). The only thing that is a fact is that nothing is a fact.

Why do y'all let opposing fans come on here and get you all inflamed?  Let it be.   Back to Top C Money General User Member Since: 8/28/2010 Post Count: 3,420 Status: Offline     RE: Marshall is better than any team if your conference...    Posted: 3/14/2011 12:35:34 PM  Jeff McKinney wrote: I'm guessing Ohio will be anywhere from a 10-12 pt. underdog in this one.   I haven't seen it personally, but I'm told it's 8.
