I think the guys may have a chance at home if offense and defense show up on the same day. I may even drive over to root them on.
 
Amazingly, CRS is 4-4 against Marshall with the Herd having superior talent and coaching each year

I think its the Blackout game as well, we have had some crazy games when Marshall is in town for the Blackout.
 
Why would anyone even go to this game? We are eliminated from conference play

Because the other (unmentionable) school I cheer for during football season kicks off at 11:00am in Philly. I have nothing else going on and so I figured I might make the drive over, luck up and see Stock catch lightning in a bottle. If we’re out of it by halftime, I’ve still got time to get home and catch most of Auburn/LSU. 😎
 
Looks like they still to not give them to Season Ticket Holders. They did for many years and then stopped. Yet another blunder if so.

Please wear a paper bag on your head. Cut some holes out so you can see/breath obviously.

But please wear one. Pretty please. Paper bags on the head should be a requirement to attend this game.

I will order anyone here said paper bags via amazon prime to your front door if you'll wear them to the game. You can pass out the extra's to others at the game and encourage them to wear as well.

I can’t do that Wiley. Not in front of the players or their families. I’d have no problem doing it in front of M & M or the coaches but not the players.

It's unfortunate the players are caught up in this situation. Not their fault, and I feel bad for them. Life is unfair sometimes.

If we as fans continue the status quo and continue to do what we've done for the last 16 years under Stock, then why would leadership see a need to deviate from the status quo? If you are still going to buy tickets and go to the games, then why fire Stockstill and pay that huge buyout?

It all needs to be burned to the ground. Hell has to be raised. What's happening with our football and basketball program is unspeakably unacceptable.

And I hate to say it, but those of you still donating and buying tickets to the games, you're part of the problem too. I understand you want to support the players, that you have school pride, that you've bought tickets and gone to games for decades, etc......but it's time man. It's time to burn it all to the ground.

*Not attacking you personally Franklin. I appreciate and love all my Blue Raider Brethren. I just hate the idea of supporting this coaching staff and administration. Even if it means the players having to suffer.

No offense taken. 😉
 
Guidry’s DL and LB’s are gonna lay their ears back. I’ll say a prayer for Chance this week.
Like they did vs. ECU? That D can be pourus. Charlotte is a decent team. They do have a P5 win. Marshall doesn't. Not saying the Charlotte has a better D but Marshall has allowed 73 points in their last 2 games. UTSA is a way better complete team and Chase did drop points on em at some point. They should smoke us though. The west is keeping the title this year.
 
I'm glad the game is on a channel which most people don't have, including myself. The less people that see a blowout, the better.

Speaking of viewings, anyone have info on viewership for the previous games?
 
Marshall is #4 in total offense in the country.

High flying offense, great QB, big time RB Rasheen Ali averaging 6 YPC this year!

Hard to imagine Marshall punting much, and I'm telling you their front 7 is a bunch of grown men on defense. They gave up points to App St & ECU but I'm not so sure we will be able to find that same success.

They look bigger, stronger, and faster across the board. I just don't see this as much of a game unless our defense can find a way to slow them down.

Generally you want to be able to have some kind of a running game to sustain drives and keep the ball out of the hands of a high powered offense's hands. We don't have a running game. Haven't had one in 5 years.
