Their are multiple reasons why we don't play WVU. We don't want to play them because they won't except a home-home. Our last contract was not to our favor at all. We played in Morganhole five times while only playing in Huntington twice. Also, in our history of playing each other, they never played us when we were better than average.
I don't see them playing you unless government pushes for the coal bowl. It is very hard for decent non bcs schools to get home and home. Also Doc played at WVU and left to get head coaching experience so he could coach at WVU in the future. WVU would not hire him without head coaching experience first. If you got rid of the HELP program and took normal students that would help your case. I don't see Dana hanging around to long but his buyout is crazy. Congrats on Doc as well and I think he is a really good coach.
Why should marshall get rid of the HELP program and what is "normal students" supposed to mean?
Normal means you actually qualify with sat and gpa (the real purpose of a University) Not that others don't take them, Marshall is just a leader in the industry. If you want to specialize a program like this it should be at a community college.
I agree. Universities should not invest in their students, and they should certainly never EVER help people with learning disabilities.
That last comment was on some incredible next level of ignorance. Marshall's HELP program helps a lot of autistic students who have the ability to attend a university but wouldn't be able to as "normal" students.
One last thing, on the last page you called FCS the lowest level of football that offers scholarships. Division II universities offer scholarships. I'm sure there are NAIA schools that offer scholarships as well. So you're wrong about that. I hate it when people say ignorant things about lower levels of college athletics. Especially when they are actually normal students.

I am not advocating not to help special needs students, just that a University isn't for everyone.

No, this is the real world and our society now just thinks everyone should be rewarded the same. My neighbors football team just got a 3 foot trophy and didn't win a single game.
As far as anything below d1 I could care less. If you like it great but I aspire for my program to make it to the top of big time football. Are we there yet? Of course not but our fan base is growing, we now have a new dental school, more donation money, top pa schools etc. I wish your school the best but I just want more for my alma mater.

RE: Biggest C-USA Wins of 2013?
It's kind of weird to see a thread go from this:
(01-03-2014 10:31 AM)Side Show Joe Wrote: What were the top C-USA football victories of the 2013 season?
Here my list:
1. Marshall over Maryland in the Military Bowl (Bowl win over the ACC)
2. North Texas over UNLV in the HOD Bowl (Bowl win over MWC)
3. ECU over Ohio in the Beef O'Brady's Bowl (Bowl win over MAC)
4. ECU over North Carolina (N. Carolina of the ACC won the Belk Bowl)
5. Rice over Marshall (C-USA Title Game)
6. North Texas over Ball State (Ball St. finished 10-2, will play in the Go Daddy Bowl)
7. Marshall over ECU (No one saw that beat down coming)
8. ECU over NC State (win over the ACC)
9. Rice over Kansas (win over the Big 12)
10. North Texas over Rice (only conference loss for Rice)
To this:

In 43 posts. But weird is as weird does.
Getting back to the original topic, Tulane's two biggest wins were (obviously) UNT and ECU, both at home by narrow margins. I guess for sheer drama, the ECU game would be hard to top. It's kind of amazing to think that ECU and UNT were a combined 0-2 against Tulane and a combined 19-5 against everybody else on their schedules.
It was an up-and-down sort of season for Tulane (7-6), which sure as hell beats the down-and-down type of seasons we have grown accustomed to since the "Athletic Review" in 2003 and Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

RE: Biggest C-USA Wins of 2013?
You have to throw Rice over Kansas out. As bad as we were last season we had them beat on the road and had to fumble twice - once on the goal line and again on their 10 yard line very late to seal the W for Jayhawks. I am in no way bashing on Rice because they beat the crap out of us last year.

That has absolutely nothing to do with it. The HELP program is open to all Marshall students with learning disabilities as a tutoring and mentoring program. The fact that so many ECU (and other) fans misconstrue the program to be some kind of NQ eligibility racket just shows how uninformed they really are.
http://www.marshall.edu/help/
The only reason WVU will not play Marshall is their perception of power in the state. For them, playing Marshall regularly in football, especially in Huntington, is a sign of a deterioration of their power and a rise in the power of Marshall in terms of state support and control. If the the game was played regularly enough, the existing power imbalance within the state's higher education system would eventually become balanced between the two.
Wrong, the only reason they played was because of the old Governor who is now your senator.
I never addressed why they played us, only why they don't want to play us.
Maybe you could attend a real university, like Marshall, where reading comprehension is taught, rather than ENC-CC...

Moving up to play UCONN, Temple, Memphis, and USF in football

It's in my top 10 for sure! Just glad they didn't break the streak against ECU! I didn't like watching USM go through that rough period!

You probably don't want to play that game.
Why must every single one of these threads deteriorate to utter dumba$$ery? And before one of you Herders starts with the "ECU Did it ECU did it! You all the Sucks!"...you have your fair share of special children that contribute to or start the downward spiral.
