Did you tell your CUSA friends about the sweetheart deal to hold the first MACC games at your home field every time?

We want the MACC at our home field.

Wah, Wah, Wah.


Once you lost that, you pretty much went away on your own.


:crying: :crying: :crying:

You are on track to lose to UCF. You'll be outnumbered so don't try any of the usual.

I'll be happy to tell them about it.

You see, when the MAC expanded to 13 teams and initiated a conference championship game, they put the title tilt out for bid.

The Huntington Sports Committee, having hosted 25 NCAA 1-aa tournament games and four 1-aa title games put in a bid.

And it won. Contract to host three games. Not a contract to host and play in three games.

There was no uproar from the MAC schools. Pshaw. Those hilljack rednecks have no chance of winning their division and actually being in the game they host, and nothing will be sweeter than bringing our team to their stadium and playing for the title while they run the game.

And Marshall goes out and wins the East division. By an average 25 points per game I might add.
And wins the conference title game by 17 points. Lost three games all year. West Virginia, Miami (oh) and Mississippi in the bowl.

And then they went out and won the East again. This time it was by a closer margin, but the title game was in Huntington and so was the Herd.
What the jagoff from terdledo forgets to mention is their coach, now Mizzou coach Gary Pinkel, bitching and moaning about using the home lockers and making Marshall wear their road uniforms and stand on the visitor's sidelines.
Take your whoopin and go home Big Ten wannabe.

The next season Marshall went undefeated. Beat West Division Champ 31-17 in Kalamazoo, Mich in a game that wasn't even that close. Beat Toledo 38-17 in a game that wasn't that close during the regular season.
Marshall sleep walked through a dismal first half in the MAC title game and was down 24-0 at the half.
Most everyone here knows about the comeback and Pennington's pass to seldom thrown to Eric Pinkerton for the winning TD with four seconds on the clock.

Then the MAC put the game out for bid again. Only this time nobody wanted it. It was given back to Marshall because they ran out of time trying to find a suitable host.
Marshall floundered through a tough first half of the season behind five new offensive linemen, several severe injuries in the backfield and a new QB, Byron Leftwich.
Toledo pounded us 42-0 and Western Michigan, who ended up West champ, beat us 30-10 on our home field in a game that wasn't that close.
Marshall won five straight east division games and won the East.
Marshall beat Western in the MAC title game.

The next season the MAC decided to rotate the game to the division winner's site. First the west, then the east, then the west.

Toledo beat Marshall in a tremendous game in Toledo in 2001.
Marshall beat Toledo in a tremendous game in 2002.
Miami beat Bowling Green in a romp in 2003
And when it looked like Marshall might be favored in 2004 to win the East, the MAC decided to find a neutral field, and Ford Field in Detroit ended up being the host.

A great move for the MAC, seven years too late in my opinion.

But it wasn't Marshall's fault and there was no whining about hosting the title game.

Of course, the MAC trolls won't tell that one.

That is until this I-AA team ended up winning the 1st 4 Championships. One reason they gave the game to H'Ton was because they never expected the poor lil I-AA team to never make it to the championshp game.

Thanks for the detail. I am not a typical MAC poster who ******* and moans about GPA's, partial qualifiers etc. NCAA football is big, and every MAJOR program has their issues. I enjoyed the swagger that Marshall and UCF brought to the league.

A Krusczek UCF team Vs a Marshall team would be quite entertaining. I am not sure if O'leary can pull something together that resembles the UCF that often handled MAC teams, a few years ago.

I see where Marshall is a good fit for C-USA, although the MAC has stepped up the level of play at the top end of the league, the cellar dwellars are not helping.

What is it with you and Coach K? Are you doing this just to antagonize UCF fans?

Did you see what Kruz left in this program? Did you see our team that had UNLIMITED POTENTIAL in 2003 absoltuely crumble at the seams? O'Leary is the complete package, not just a high flying offensive/Qb coach that depends on every other coach to throw some sort of defense together.

O'Leary teaches hustle, work ethic, fundamentals, defense, phsyicality, and a "no stop" badass attitude. Something Kruz never did.

In 2-3 years O'Leary will have a team that in no way Kruz could have put together.

Kruz was good at scaring alot of teams by almost beating them. O'Leary WILL beat them.

Stating an opinion. Hope O'leary will provide an entertaining game for my $$$ in September against Marshall.

I'd look at your AD, as well as K. We was there for McDowell, also. Whatever went on didn't happen overnight.

Coach K played QB for the Steelers.

O'Leary says he played JV ball for fictitious university.

O'leary has my support thru November.

Orsini was not there for McDowell.

Orsini is the reason UCF is getting first rate facilities and improving our program 10 fold.

I love how our former conference allies try to look out for our good. They, didn't seem to care when we were in the conference. They always liked to call us hilljacks, and hillbillies, etc., but would never have the guts to use the "N" word. No difference, though. Not only do they like us now, but they are even worried about our travel expenses now we are in our new conference. These guy's really cared after all.

Carolinaherd,

Good.

At least I am one of the few posters who recognize your winning history. Most people think that UCF is another Buffalo, or they ***** about K's big mouth, and forget that you could easily have won the MAC.

As you all can see, the occasional MAC-jack@s$ slithers out from under their frozen rock to hiss and spit venom at The Herd.

It will never end....Jack@s$es, all of them, those pitiful MACsters.

UCF, being another Buffalo? First off, Buffalo is going to surprise someone some of these days. My question is what are you going to do with the Eastern Michigans in your league?

Now, UCF, not that they would ever give Marshall any credit, but in all honesty just a few years ago had a really exciting, great team. So it is not all that unbelievable that they will not do that again. They a a school of 44,000 students, and set in the middle of more talent than are in cracker-jacks, found in a box of cracker jacks. The question is not if, but when they are going to burst. The MAC should count their lucky stars that it didn't happen when they were there, or you guys could hate them even worse than you do Marshall, if it were not for the cultural bias. "We being poor white, ignorant, penniless, hillbillies." I forgot to add toothless, and shoeless.

Carolinaherd,

Right, the rockets are all white. I live in the county where you pick up five recruits per year. Had some of them as students.

You are free to use whatever word you want. MANDINGO? :stupid:

Not to be an arse, but the MAC expanded to 12 teams in 1997 when they started the MACC game. They didn't expand to 13 teams until Buffalo joined in 1999.


Oh, and the decision to move to a neutral field in 2004 was not because they were afraid Marshall would host the game. Chryst had been trying to get the President's to go for a neutral field game for a couple of years.

Keep on believing that Rocket.

I know a couple of Miami fans that were upset and said "If it wasn't for Mashall moving bhah blah, we would have had home field advantage."

After 3 yes at Ford field the game will rotate again. Its basicly a "WEST HFA".

You and I both knw why it was started last year.
