We won 5 conference championships, 4 bowl games, had two Heisman finalists, and went 54-11. How are you guys doing?
And remind me, how many years of FCS football did Marshall have to play before they were ABLE to MOVE Up to FBS? We played 2 years of FCS........Not sure, but I think that MIGHT have been a factor.
Hence why we didn't want you added to the conference. You weren't ready and never should have gotten an invite, should have taken App State or JMU instead.
You guys are so dumb. Remember, who was in the league first. You were begging to get in cusa 1.0 and couldn't. Yet, somehow, even without football we got in.
I remember who got thrown in the trash by CUSA.
Yeah right......we left for a better basketball league than what cusa 2.0 was going to be. When both wanted in 1.0, who got in and who didn't?

Must have left your "good" basketball program in that league. Been pretty bad since you've been here

Should of happened already
Exactly. I mean with your iconic program and all. You guys are right up there with Alabama. Atleast that's what I've read.

That is pretty darned impressive. What happened to you guys? Now even Charlotte can beat you.
Yes, one of your impressive 13 FBS wins came against Marshall during our worst season since the 70s. Several CUSA teams took advantage that year to get their only win against us.
2015 Marshall 6-2, tied for 2nd in East
2016 Marshall 2-6 tied for last in East
2017 Marshall 4-4 Tied with three others for 3rd in East
2018 Marshall 6-2 Tied for 2nd in East
Maybe there is a different definition for "dominating" in Huntington than Charlotte, but since we've come into CUSA Marshall has been far from a juggernaut in the East. Four games over .500 in four years, that is the definition of "average". I would really hate it if Charlotte is the team that knocks Marshall back to their standard middle of the pack place in the East as another up and coming program FAU puts them in the rear view mirror.

I picked 2015-2018 because that's the year we entered CUSA and 2018 is the last season completed. If you want to manipulate the seasons listed to feed Marshall's delusions of grandeur have at it.

Your right, but it will be back soon enough. Luckily for us though, it would take Marshall a couple decades of your BEST basketball to even come close to our basketball history. So, we have time.

You clearly aren't seeing the layers of sarcasm in many of our posts.
I have a very Ron Swanson dry sense of humor, sorry you're not picking up what I've been put down.

Now, that's not fair. They picked up a lot of cans that y'all put down.

yeah, we can't be too hard on them. I guess they're still cleaning up after our last visit.
When was that peak? When we were playing in all those 1-AA championship games in the 90s, when we were dominating the MAC after that, when we were last ranked in 2014?
We've had a lot of peaks, expecting more. Meanwhile, you have lived in a valley since your program started. You may actually finish at .500 this season and get that temporary gulp of air to keep from drowning. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

UNC-Charlotte peaked in the Jimmy Carter Administration.
Cornbread Maxwell was still playing.
