I sit on row 1 behind the visiting team and one thing I noticed is there doesn't seem to be any real take charge, leader or a lot of team chemistry. I don't know the age of your team but I never felt like anyone in your sideline ever tried to rally the troops. There were very few team huddles.

Side note, on your first TD, one of your linemen (#73) started walking up and down the sideline screaming "f@$k Marshall". The fans never let up in him after that and you could see it getting him frustrated.

I wonder if he's the same idiot who tweeted all of that trash talk...if it was...I hope he chokes on the huge helping of crow he's eating.

I wouldn't say "on par", but definitely the closest of anyone we've played. MTSU is a good team. Not saying they aren't at all. I just think Marshall's talent is far off from anyone else in the conference.

So have you decided to become the resident asshat on this board?

They may not have the depth we do but their front 22 is talented and athletic. Let's not forget they whipped us a year ago.

A few Herd fans are getting a touch over confident. Let's hope our team isn't having similar thoughts.

The depth thing hit me too. Looked like they didn't rotate much on the defensive line. They starters are big and athletic, but hard for those guys to play so many snaps.

I learned that MTSU fans dont travel for crap. You guys brought a total of 50 people maybe. I was honestly excited to see how many fans the new CUSA teams would bring. VERY disappointed with MTSU in that regard.

Ohhhh... you have to be nice and say the other team is as good as yours or you're just being an ass? My bad. Miami was as good as us. So was ODU. MTSU as well. We're all evenly talented. Every team.

Better?

Lets just get UAB out of the way too. You guys are just as talented as us. It's actually so close that we shouldn't even play the game. We should just call it a tie and move on. Fair enough?

No. But u don't have to act like an idiot either. We had to deal with ECU fans the past few years, and I thought we were finally past the worthless crap talk. But I guess not.

Herd fans are accustomed to cocky. He has no tact with his own fans, let alone others. He wears being a douche as a badge of honor. He's a knowledgable, loyal fan, though.

If said comment is true, i see no problem with it being stated candidly if he is being an idiot, for real, then there is a problem. Sometimes those that make bold but accurate statements are called douche bags when, in fact, they are just stating the facts.

Can it be done with more tact and sugar coating? Sure. But that wastes time.

You once wrote UAB has 20,000 fans show up for a season. Nothing you write means anything to me.

And there are plenty of times you should use tact in life. talking about your conference mates would be one of those times in my opinion.

No, it isn't. If the guy is a douche then he is a douche. Trolls are sad people, but with that said, sports message board trash talk doesn't rank on any list of times a person needs to be tactful. Just tell him that Wayne football is an OK West Virginia program that wouldn't compete with the elite comparable sized schools from Ohio.

i had a wedding to go to today. So i couldn't go. plus It's a stupid 11 am kickoff (CT). So people would have to travel the 5 hours the night before or get up in the middle of the night. It's easier to watch on TV, not to mention we all expected the results.

Haha. Yeah, and that is true. UAB claimed 28k for that first game. I asked for a picture. Its water under the bridge, but playing a game at legion field has the look and field of a glorified scrimmage. Teams have to bring their own energy. Thats simply a truth. It would be the same as you telling me that Marshall cant sell out their stadium without WVU on the schedule, i may not like it, but its true and we move on.

And i have said before, i give credit where its due, and criticism as well. Which, congrats on the big win again today UAB. I picked you for my #1 threat to upset Marshall this season. I respect your program. Don't get me wrong because i mentioned the fan support problem.

What's is the big deal with crowd totals? Why worry about other schools attendance?

People talk about things where they think they can get their jabs in. If UAB does well on the field people are going to take shots at our attendance despite it being in the top 5 of CUSA do far.

And one reason not to talk trash, "just facts" or not, is because it all comes back. Whether it be this year in another sport or a future year in the same sport, the programs that run their mouths will eventually get rolled themselves.

Actually you don't respect the program hence the attendance jab reference. And I get it, even though everyone knows Legion Field is too big for UAB Football people will continue to make fun of our attendance until we get a stadium suitable for the program.

That said, you should worry about Marshall filling up a stadium that is more than suitable for a program that is currently undefeated, about to be ranked, and could be headed for a special season.

That or implosion due to penalties and mistakes. We are very lucky to be able to overcome turnovers n crap like we do. Those could have been devastating and momentum changing under different circumstances or a different venue. FIU will be looking to force turnovers and rattle our offense. If we play smart it's no issue. If they get in Cato's head it could get ugly, if their solid defense is up for us.

When our offense is synced and hitting, we are fairly undefendable in at least one facet of the game, if not all.

This! I feel like our undisciplined play can really hurt us.

I said the exact same thing in the Akron game thread and got blasted for it.

Interesting insight. Thanks.

As for #73 he's the most frustrating offensive lineman to me so that's interesting too...supposed to be the best but really he's just the most frustrating. Usually if there is a holding call on an epically crucial point in the game you can count on it being him.

I have thought this for a very long time as well.
