Yeah, I saw that article a couple of days ago but didn't post a link. Well here it is now, along with some Cliff notes.

The Cliff Notes -
BLACKSBURG, Va. — Do not catch a touchdown. If you catch a touchdown, I’m going to have to fight you.
Tre Turner’s own Virginia Tech teammates encouraged him and other players to concede the Hokies’ Dec. 1 game against Marshall last year, a game that determined if the season would extend to a bowl trip. As unbelievable as they are, these quotes are real, says Turner and other Tech players.
I really hope we lose.
Well, if we lose we can go home early and don’t have to go to a bowl game
Tight end Dalton Keene heard them, too, including the one above during preparation for the game against the Thundering Herd—at the team hotel the morning of the game and even on the bus en route to the stadium.
And even after all the dissension on the part of Virginia Tech players, their worst team in 26 years still managed to beat the Herd by 3 touchdowns.
Time for the Herdiots to learn to stay in their lane and stop messing with the big boys of the college football world.

That, and the fact that there has been no mention of this Sports Illustrated article on the Herd boards. I guess they don't want to hear how irrelevant they are.

Seems like the Herdies don't want to discuss this. And they are usually so chirpy. Can't blame them, it must suck to lose a game by 3 TDs when the other team was trying to lose.
that remains to be seen...and if the suckage is so it will be against much better competition than the suckage which pervaded the herd
Herdiots are giddy about their schedule this year because of it being so soft. I'd venture a guess that every team on WVU's schedule this year would beat MU.
how come you herdies don't want to talk about the article?.....kind of tough to make a case about being a good team(or the best in WV) when a fractured team that has half the players who want to lose on purpose cleans your clocks.....hard pill to swallow huh?
You don't really want to compare WVU's strength of schedule to Marshall's do you?
OU T
OU Texas,OSU, Missouri, NC State........more power 5 opponents than marshla has played in a decade...you really don't want to go there do you?
OU and that’s about it. Boise, Cincy and Ohio is as strong as everyone else you have on your schedule.
You're not going to make it as a comedian Leatherneck. Best stick to your day job.
