Delaware State or Va Tech?

[MichiganHerd]

Who do you boys open up with this year? I guess I could google it, but then no reason to get to the jest of my thread.

Va Tech will likely be favored, something like 3-4 points, but this one is a hard one to bet on, as it could go in many directions. You boys going to ask for the coaches head if you drop this one?

I'll root for WVU in that one but if I was to take a financial position , I'd have to bet VPI. Love the Mounties chances against Delaware State, don't think that bunch has won more than one game in the last three seasons.

That Delaware State game is going to drag down our overall strength of schedule in much the same way as if we were playing Marshall instead.

You boys don't care about that in football...just looking for an easy win with no return game! Guess you found it!

You seem especially sensitive toward P-5's scheduling games with lessers and not giving a return game. Could it be because the only way Marshall can schedule a P-5 team is to agree to the same terms ?

Most G-5 deals these days are two for one with a return game. I-AA's ( Delaware State) will come for a check. WVU 52 Delaware State 0.

If that's the case then someone down at Marshall isn't doing their job in regards to scheduling P-5's to visit Huntington. Either that or all the P-5's are "skeered" to play there. Seems that Marshall is nearly always the visiting team on the rare occasion that they schedule a P-5.

No, we got P-5's coming to town in the future. Aren't you boys going to ECU in the near future? Good luck with the Pirates!

We have P-5's visit our place every year. Been that way for a long time. How'd that Louisville game work out for you last year ?

About the same as Akron, losses by 27 and 31.

Yep, that Sagarin 160 ranking sure would put a sting on our strength of schedule. It looks to me like there are a bunch of AA teams that we should schedule ahead of Marshall.

Hey, nobody wins 'em all, Cards hadn't beaten us in 30 years, they were due!

You say that like you'd played them for 30 straight years and had a 30 game win streak over them. We all know better.

Nobody but Penn State beats a team for 30 consecutive seasons...any guesses on the victim?

We are well aware of how Penn State dominated us a few decades ago. Why do you insist that you had the same type of domination over Louisville ? And while we're at it how long has it been since Marshall beat WVU in anything ?

To my knowledge we don't play WVU in anything....1-800- THE -HERD if you want to play!

Pull off the W against UNCC and get your Sagarin rating above those 34 AA teams ahead of you and we'll talk.

You didn't play Louisville for years either but that didn't stop you from bragging about them not beating you for 30 years.

I just repeat historical facts but that had no bearing the game in 2016....just because you own somebody doesn't mean you'll beat them today! All games start at 0-0!

I guess when you look at it that way, we are doing Marshall a favor. They can brag "you haven't beaten us in X years."

If we don't tee it up or tip it off ...we'll never know! But I suspect that's the way you boys want it...fair enough!

 

[MichiganHerd]

Hard to beat a team that won't play you out of fear.

No doubt that Tony and his kind take pride in the fact that we haven't beaten them since the last time we played.

Laughable. Enough said.
