Most consistent, barely, I will agree
WKU went 40-26 and Marshall 43-21 since 2014. WKU won two CUSA titles, and Marshall one. Both had only one losing season during that time.
I guess it is which metric you choose to use.
In any event, hat doesn't alter my perception the rationale of Harry's appeal for us to aspire to be Marshall.

We’re going to lose tomorrow. Manage your expectations so it doesn’t hurt as much.

Marshall has won 7 bowl games over the past 10 years. WKY has 3 and only been to 5

I was going to rehash that Monty Python gif that I posted in the football expectations thread before the season, but even the mirth of British humor cannot cure this sadness

OK, another metric.
I chose 2014 so as to compare apples to apples to apples, the first year that WKU, Marshall, and ODU were in CUSA together. If you want to go further back, there is an argument for So. Miss.

The premise being the "best program in CUSA"

WKU is 3-1 in bowl games since 2014, Marshall 4-0.

They are very close in every category, but in my metric, 2 conference championships are better than one. Additionally, that bolsters the argument for ECU as they won two CUSA championships overall.

Your metrics may vary, but that is still tertiary to my original comments to Harry's discourse.

Quote:Wow. I used to think Harry was the cream of the crop.
His rambling discourse as to why we should emulate Marshall and not ECU borders on the nonsensical.

Marshall has about half of our enrollment. ECU enrollment is comparable with ours
Marshall accepts non qualifiers. Should we do that?
Marshall has fanbase that is fiercely loyal, in part because of the horrific plane crash in 1970 that killed most Marshall football players. Is Harry implying that we need a plane crash??

Acknowledging that Marshall plays in a smaller market (DMA 70), Harry failed to note that ECU plays in an even smaller market (DMA 100) and does NOT accept non qualifiers.

Harry incorrectly stated "The Thundering Herd has the best football program in Conference USA". Marshall has NOT been the best program in CUSA. In the post alignment era, WKU won the Championship twice, Marshall only once, in 2014. Nor did Marshall EVER win the CUSA pre alignment.
ECU however won it twice.

Personally, I believe we should aspire to emulate App State. If you are going to "aspire" you might as well aim high.

I'll see you there!
Are you still tight with the manager of the one nearest you?

Checked with Buffalo Wild Wings and they are not going to be able to show the game. Stadium must be much harder to get now. Looks like it isn't available through Roku anymore. Sorry guess I will use the radio.

Is there a radio station in Richmond that will be carrying it? Last year I was never able to find it on the stations that were supposed to be broadcasting games.

Ya can watch it online.

Hard to do that when you are outside at soccer tournaments all weekend. Best bet is to follow on phone and make it out to the truck during breaks. Too cheap to spring for an unlimited data plan.

We lost 20-3 against WKU, today will be worse.
I don't normally pick scores, but I'll go on a limb and say 34 - 13, (somehow we find the EZ once and kick two FG)

RE: ODU @ Marshall 10/12 2:30pm
I'm guessing Harry picked Marshall because we are in the same conference, play each other regularly and thus would be easier to compare ourselves to. However, I agree with '78. East Carolina is much closer, I believe has a stronger football brand as a result of beating NC State, Carolina and VT often enough for it to not be seen as luck, plus they belong to a better conference. A h-h series on a more or less regular basis would give us enoughhead to head competition to see where we stand.

If it hasn’t already been said let me say it... The Joan looks like a dump. I’m sure it’s fine, in person, but is that the best Marshall can do after all these years

That a way Bobby. Put a kid in who is obviously favoring his knee. Salvideri is not ready to play. That is irresponsible.
