There's a Marshall-Morehead State basketball game.........

[MikeRafone]

Tuesday night in Morehead, KY. The two schools are natural rivals and have played for years in basketball and until fairly recently, in football. It's a heated rivalry.

Why does Marshall continue to dodge Morehead State, a rising FCS power on the football field? It would improve their strength of schedule vastly and be a natural sellout. If Marshall is scared, in the words of former MU Hall of Fame coach Bob Pruitt, "Get a dog".

The citizens of both WV and KY should petition the governors of both states to get this game back on the schedule. It's an injustice to both the schools and the states represented not to play it. Think of the boost it would give the economically depressed region the schools represent. It could be called "The Hatfield And McCoy Bowl". Let us all start the push to renew this formerly great rivalry on the field.

I thank you.

Sounds like a great idea!

Better yet.........call it the "Friends of Coal Bowl"........

 

[MikeRafone]

How about The Heroin Bowl when it's played in Huntington and the Friends of Coal Bowl when it's played in Morehead?

I'm sure WVU would loan the folks at Morehead one of it's Friends of Coal Bowl trophies for their end of the series. WVU has plenty of them to spare. Mike Holliday could probably dig up an old punch bowl for Marshall's end. He'll have to fake the filling, he's got a record.

We haven't played Morehead in football in the last 21 years. In the 20 years before that we were 16-1 against them when we were both 1-AA. They've averaged 4 wins a year over the last 7 years, so wouldn't say they are emerging power. If they could get better, and we were going to play a FCS school anyway, it might as well be them.

You know, kind of like wvu, if you are going to play a G5 anyway, might as well play one in the area that has reeled off 32 wins in less than 3 seasons.

No reason to keep playing a team that we have beaten 12 out of 12 tries. It gets a little boring after a while.

The most impressive win of the 32 wins? See your answer as to why we laugh at you.

Banker is easier than one of those H-Town Ho's. It takes a cheeseburger to pull one of those fillies. Banker flops for free.

So morehead state has a better win % against Marshall than Marshall has against WVU.

32 wins over nobody is 32 wins over nobody.

Yeah I know, I watched wvu from 2005-2007.

Along with every other year of your life.

That would be a dumb quote for herdon or herd fever, and you let that go under your name.

I am sorry that you are stupid.

Especially since, in that short time period, WVU beat more ranked teams than Marshall did in the past 120 years...

 

[banker6796]

From 2005-2007 23 of your 33 wins came against teams that are currently in G5 conferences. Two more of those wins came against FCS opponents. Three more of the wins were against P5 teams with a losing record. So 28 of your 33 wins were nothing impressive. You had 5 good wins in 3 years. Not as good as other G5 teams like Boise, but nice enough to make you guys happy, I guess.

and your top wins in the 32 wins? I'll let you list the top 3.

If you don't respond, we do understand.

That probably felt like this:

 

[banker6796]

Stoney, I never argued that we had an impressive list of wins. I was just showing that your golden era was really just an illusion built on playing teams with significantly less resources (just like you whole "overall top 15 in wins" thing).

In reality, your glory days were absolutely no different than the run Boise State had, they just maintained theirs longer. Spend the season on cupcakes, maybe one legit conference game, one semi decent OOC game, and then pull an upset in a big bowl. The difference was that Boise had to earn their way into those bowls and you just got the BE pity bid.

And you would kill to have those same accomplishments under your belt.

At no time has any WVU fan said we are the same as Alabama, Ohio State, Notre Dame or Oklahoma when it comes to pedigree. All that crap comes from you terd fans and your WVU penis envy claiming WVU fans think we are more accomplished than we are.

We have never claimed to be anything we are not. Not one time have you heard that from us. We have limited financial resources in comparison to the Longhorn-type programs of the world. We have a next to zero recruiting base to pull from in our own state. We have no top 50 TV markets within our state borders. We have not had the benefit of belonging to a true power conference up until the last few years since joining the B12.

And yet we ARE a top 15 winningest program of all-time. We are not going to apologize for facts. If it hurts your little vagina to accept that, then so what. The fact that we have done as well as we have despite all the disadvantages we face in comparison to other power 5 programs is nothing short of amazing. And we have done so without massive cheating scandals, unlike some other schools I could mention.

Go back through history and give Alabama or Ohio State identical resources that we have had to use and see where they would be.

Considering what we have in comparison to other programs, hell... one could make an argument that we are one of the most successful programs of all time pound-for-pound. Considering the success we have had, could you imagine how much more we could have done over time if we had the resources that Notre Dame or Ohio State or Texas has? The fact that we even have a seat at the power 5 table is nothing short of a miracle when you consider how stacked against us the deck is.

But go ahead and talk your trash, because that is all you have. Nothing you say or do will ever change the fact that you are a small-time program in a lower-tiered mid major conference that will never have a shot at playing for anything meaningful ever again, and you would trade places with WVU in a heart beat.

Your entire history is made up of wins and losses to MAC teams, FCS teams and Sun Belt/CDOA teams, but you want to knock us?

That is pure comedy gold.

Good luck in your epic contest with the giant red grimaces.

In reality the only people comparing WVU to Boise State are pathetic Marshall fans who will do ANYTHING to try to compare your pathetic drop dick we cheat for championship program to WVU.

Now there is some interesting logic. Marshall has never in its history combined acheived half of what WVU did in any of those three years. That is reality.

You're discounting what the Big East was by quite a bit. Which is comical coming from a fan of the MAC (did you know we have NEVER lost to a MAC team ... ever), and the current composition of CUSA. CUSA used to be a semi-decent conference, but as other conferences lost members, the best of the old CUSA got invited into better conferences, leaving voids that were filled by dismal programs or teams just entering FBS.

We beat Miami when they were MIAMI. We beat VT when they were top 5. We have a number of Top 5 victories on our resume' in addition to the 3 BCS trophies.

 

[BurninDownTheCouch]

We've played for a legit National Championship in both football and basketball. Granted, basketball, was a while back. But, nonetheless. We beat 2 top 20 teams in 1988 to propel us to a national championship date with Notre Dame, were it not for Major getting knocked out early( 3rd play of the game ), that game very well may have gone the other way.

Regularly on our schedule were, Penn St (when they were good), Boston College with Flutie, Va. Tech, Miami when they ruled, Pittsburgh when they were better.

Nice try though. Keep telling yourself whatever it takes to ease the pain.

Not factual....you boys have lost to MAC teams! And played to a tie before!

 

[WhiteTailEER]

Well, you're right. We lost to a MAC team in the 40's .... that's not a score in the 40's, that's the 1940's. 1949 to be exact.
