23. "Daddy, why is playing Louisville and Pitt in the same year such a big deal?" ......."because little one, WVU used to play those teams way back when"......."why does that matter now Daddy?"..."because we can thump our chests if we win against someone WVU used to play, and if we lose it's no big deal since those teams used to play WVU"......"that doesn't make sense Daddy".........."Just hush little darlin', and always remember that when you're all grown up and out on your own, always drive over into Ohio so you don't have to pay that pop tax"......"OK Daddy, is that some Hillbilly Hot Dogs that you just burped out of your nose?"
 
25. I sure hope Herd football has Pick your own seat promotion again. 4 seats for $11...a little expensive to watch Marshall football, but a great idea from our beloved AD. We had around 7600 fans in the stands then. Those were the days.
 
26. Remember when Herd upset Rhode Island 14-31 at Joan. What a wonderful showing by our boys. Those highlights even got shown on ESPN3 twice. We need more of that PUB, trust me it is coming too.
 
27. " Hey I hear the Sooner Boomer is up in Morganhole this weekend and the game is being televised nationally"......heard in Huntington, "Why worry about that? We've got a road game down at Florida International and the Al Jezeera Network promises it will be telecast on a tape delayed basis at 3 o'clock Sunday morning"

28. Remember in 2014 when Oliver tried to keep Herd out of football playoffs. Well--Coach Holiday one upped him by going out and losing to WKU on purpose. Doc knows how to play that game too.

29. From the 50 yard line seats at the Joan....."Are you going down to watch us play at Florida International?"........from the next seat over - "No, my passport has expired"
 
30. Remember when Game Day was in Morgenhole and we sent Cato up there for interview. Hell no one in the USA understood his french accent, or a word he spoke that day outside of Huntington. See Cato worked on his French knowingly he was going to CFL and not the NFL. Herd has more players in CFL than WVU..Quess what? Yep--another Herd win.
 
31. Heard from the Joan ......." Is y'all gonna go up and watch us play in Pissburg".......from the next seat over - "No........my neck still hurts from the last time I was in Morganhole looking up at all them hellicollipters landing on top of that big hospital"

32. "Dayammit, that pop tax really put a hole in our budget this month"
 
29. " Can you believe that WVU at Texas gets national TV coverage and no one but the Al-Jazeera Network is covering us when we have Middle Tennessee State right here at home?????????"......"and we have to wait til 3 o'clock in the morning to watch the replay????????"
 
29.
Also heard at the Joan " Them mountainqueers are playing little ole Texas Tech and no one notices that we've got a game at North Texas on the same day........"

I enjoy taking jabs at our little brothers down Cabell County way.......but I did like Cato. He was one hell of a college QB and did them a good job. His pro career ended about as I expected it would but he was fun to watch while he was at MU.

34. "NO I WAS NOT WATCHING A LIVE STREAM OF THE WVU GAME.........honest.........I wasn't.......I was just checking my e-mail and it popped up.........honest........why would I want to do that when the Herd is playing mighty Morgan State right here live and in person at the Joan?"
 
35. From the 50 yard line at the Joan when the mighty Akron Zips come to town......"MAN.......Terry Bowden and Doc Holliday BOTH played at WVU..........and we have them both right here.....we must really be BIG TIME..."
 
36. "Wow, I didn't realize that Gabes sold 4XL Herd jerseys....I'm going to have to ask Santa to deliver a couple of 'em for me and the Mrs."

In OT, " No worries, this is just a chip shot FG"
 
40. "I wish that 30Kelly guy would stop running his mouth over on the WVU board.......he makes us look dumber than hell".......from the next seat over - " I know what you mean and that old buzzard SOB really pisses me off......"
 
41. " Is it just me or are these seats getting smaller? " from the next seat over...."Scoot back over into your own two seats fatass, you're crowding me out of the two that I'm sitting in"
 
46. "Man, do you see the size of this crowd?........must be close to 20 thousand people here ! "
