It's all for message board fodder. If not for polls, the King and Slow Head wouldn't have something to argue about during the pre-seasons.How can polls be legitimate this time of the year anyway. Marshall number one, defending champions, graduated one player, no portal exits, why not number one starting out, but after 3-4 games a school who wasn’t in the tournament last year and not ranked is in the top 10. The next two games WVU could get stomped on and be all the way out in a week.
Why bother with a poll or put any stock into it. It’s not like people are running out to buy a paper or magazine to read it.
As for Marshall soccer, I really don't follow, like not at all. I just see things posted on the various boards. I did see that Marshall has had a couple key players have to sit out due to getting red cards. Assuming a red card is like a targeting call in college football, and when you receive one, you must sit out the next game. Have no idea who the key players are, and couldn't name a single player, coach, or anything else on the Herd soccer team, or any other soccer team around the world.
