. . . it could offer a lot of sports excitement for HERD fans.
We already know that on Saturday, October 5th, one of our most popular, perhaps "beloved", foes, Appy State's "EERS", are in town for a clash with the HERD!!!
But did you know another of our "admired" SBC chums, those Purple Plum clad guys from JMU, will also be in H-town that weekend? This time it is for a "titanic" Futbol clash on Friday, October 4th with Coach Grassie's lads!!
How do I know that? Well, HERD Fans, it is certainly not by going on the Official HERD website, Herd Zone. Nope, these days, if you want CURRENT, Up-to-Date information about the HERD, you have to look elsewhere. In this case, go to the opponents' websites!! The JMU Dukes Men's soccer COMPLETE schedule, conferenced and OOC games, is posted currently on their site. The MU-JMU soccer match date is available there!
HERD ZONE, you ask? Well, on that site, you can find the Men's Soccer Spring Schedule of all the matches to be held in March and April 2024. How did we do, you further inquire? Uhhh, I'm not sure, cause HERD ZONE indicates the HERD's Spring Record was/is "0-0". Which I guess means that either ALL those matches were cancelled, not played for other reasons, etc., etc., or else someone or perhaps "everyone" in the WHOLE DAMN Marshall Athletic Dept was just too lazy or too SORRY to post the result of those Soccer matches, etc.
Is this any way to run an Athletic Department? Any way to keep your fan base, students, general public, future student athletes, etc., informed and interested about and in MU Athletics Teams?? Is this ANY WAY to treat Coach Grassie and his program, a MERE 2 seasons or so AFTER THEY WON THE WHOLE ENCHILADA IN NCAA DIVISION ONE MEN'S SOCCER????
Let's just hope that before the 24-25 Sports Season gets too far along, someone HIGH UP in Marshall's Administration, be it President Smith or someone else, LIGHTS A FIRE in some person or folks in the Athletic Department at least when it comes to improving/upgrading our whole way of operating in area of "Sports Information"!!! Right now, sad to sad, our modus operandi in said area/aspect is more in the way of "Sports Dis-information", or "Sports Non-Information", IMO!!
