I hope so, its just we have a coach (Ron Jirsa) in the seat. And no one can say anything. I think the jury is already out on Jirsa and the verdit and sentecing phase is about to start. Jirsa is starting his 3rd yr and is 21-42. Thats a 2-1 losing record. Marshalls basketball has been going down ever since Rick Huckaby was fired in 1988.

Quote:February 7, 1985 vs Appalachian State. Bruce Morris of Marshall University fires the "shot heard 'round the the world". At 89' 10" Bruce Morris fires a shot while standing out of bounds with 2 seconds Left on the clock and it goes in. Even though the shot was illegal, the refrees allow the shot to count because of crowd sentiment.
