I'm sorry, but what barrel are you talking about? Is this another Huntington 'inside' joke? Because so far the only thing close to a barrel I've seen this year is the Herd, and so far almost everyone you've faced has been standing over you, just firing away, and hitting something everytime they squeeze the trigger.
And why in the hell are you guys screaming for Docs head? He can and will be a good coach for you guys, but your entire defensive staff needs to go.
Look at Cato, that kid is a %^&* beast, but you guys need to get it done on all 3 sides of the ball. Give him another year or two, he'll be fine. Just throwing it out there..RichRod didn't start off with Michigan beating his door down, it took him a while, and he started off horribly. But look where WVU is now less than a decade after his first real signature win against VaTech..number 4 in the country half way through the season with 2(possibly 3) Heisman contenders.
Now we all know that it's a long shot that Marshall will ever get to that level, but with the talent you have/bring in, I see no reason you couldn't win CUSA and a decent bowl almost every year.
Now, believe it or not, I actually am somewhat of a Herd fan, even though 97% of your fan base either "had" or "knew someone that had" a bad experience with a WVU fan, and therefore assumes that all of us act like dicks. Simply not the case, but it makes your entire city look bad when you wish nothing but ill will towards a school you no longer play, and actually brings recognition towards the entire state, as well as Marshall. That'd be like us claiming, as truth, that all of your cheerleaders parents are drunken redneck hilljacks that like to start fights and sucker punch people in the stands. As well as trespass and carry concealed weapons. We know thats not the case, so why can't you all admit it too? And the whole 'Well Doc recruited Geno' argument, who %^&* cares? Did he or didn't he recruit Cato, who is quite possibly right up there on the same level as Smith? Again, use what you have, and stop crying about what you don't.
BTW, it also makes you look semi-braindead when you start a thread about the number 4 team in the country(ok ok, number 8 when the thread was started) and say that the game was handed to them, they got lucky, and whatever other garbage you guys want to spew off. Fact is, WVU and it's ignorant hilljack redneck drunken fan base, just gave UT(yeah, Texas, one of the most storied programs in the history of college football) the largest crowd they've ever seen, and beat them in their own house for their first road game in once of the 3 best conferences in the country. Also, after checking out the UT message boards, they've had NOTHING but nice things to say about the team and the fans. It seems that only people I ever hear complaining about 'who' fans are all of you 'moo' fans.
