That makes one of us.

At least we were competitive under Watson. I know you all talk about the state of the program under him, but the average spectator doesn't look at that... they see wins and losses.

Well, there goes another Marshall run for a TD against the 3 man front. What the hell is Williams thinking with that plan??? Hammer met nail and the nail got squashed again ( over and over ).

It's textbook, "cause and effect"...

Watsons Dumpster Fire when he left, Mumbles and Bumbles Callaway, And EGO Mcgee

We've also been blown out by some of those same schools, and took tOSU to the wall last year.

The "good old days" weren't anything special.

42 points in 11 minutes of possession for Marshall.

2000-2004 were the Glory Days.

Bowl appearance, SEC victories, competitiveness in CUSA. The in-state Big Two were even afraid to schedule us.

Yep the pride is gone

It's textbook, "cause and effect"...Bandaids and Krazy Glue only go so far as facilities go, sure, they played nose-to-nose at times with the likes of those you mentioned (you left out Oklahoma, Ohio Stink & Tennessee), but they lost (save for that one miracle at "Madame Rouge"), but apparently, these "moral victories' were enough for the powers that be to even remotely consider giving this program the resources they need to not just meet these elite programs head on, but beat some of them. That's the last (bleeping) things those ******* on that board of ******** wants. And we know it...They know it, too.

They won't tackle because they are told to strip the ball.
How about start with basics. TACKLE THE GUY WITH BALL.

We are holding them to 15 yards a carry.

It really is embarrassing.

No it's not. It's normal.

But yeah embarrassing too.

If that's as glorious as our glory days get, we're worse off than I thought.

We are. Just think how bad this team and program looks to people who don't like them.

We're probably the only ones paying attention.

Absolutely faffing awful.

Marshall has yet to punt.

On the bright side, it's taking them longer to score.
