Topic: You all hear about the stud QB we picked up?

Me either.

Sorry. I had to. I haven?t posted in a long time. I used to have season tickets and schedule my entire fall around Marshall football. I now find myself watching games on TV when it?s convenient and checking the score before bed on days when it?s not convenient.

Would love to go back to the 90s just to tell all of us to slow down and savor those moments.

We need to get back to winning ASAP or we won?t have any fans, myself included.

I'm already kind of done with college football and it doesn't even really have to do with us being bad. The NIL and transfer portal BS just killed it for me. The teams never stick. It's just a season and move on. I'm too old and don't have the patience to learn all new players every season.

The landscape has changed massively in a very short amount of time.  I choose to enjoy Herd football and the Sunbelt.  I had fun in college when we played in the Southern Conf and crappy Fairfield Stadium.

We are in a competitive regional conference now so I will enjoy the games with family and friends.  Can't worry about the playoffs as there are only 15 teams that don't change that will be in those games.

I'm a fan through thick and thin, good and bad.  May do some complaining when Herd teams don't perform to my expectations but I will never bail on them.  I watch every game and go to as many as possible, even when it's painful.  That's what loyal fans do.

As a lifetime Marshall fan who grew up on campus and played football, baseball, and basketball with a lot of the players in my childhood days, who hung out at the dorms....who then went to Marshall and ate, slept, breathed, lived, died, schedule my life around and daydreamed about Marshall sports every second of every day for decades....I must say it's surprisingly easy to bail and root for a team who has their sh!t together and that cares. Yes I'm still hanging on by the thinnest of threads ...but what makes it easy for me is when the school doesn't care about winning...I feel like... why should I? Getting on a high horse and trying to be a loyal "good fan" as if fandom equates to some type of morality or virtuous higher ground is for what? Who that matters do I care about impressing with my "fandom" and what good does loyal-ness get me? Absolutely Nothing, but frustration.

And that's why we are all leaving. The powers that be at Marshall don't care. They set up a retirement program for coaches nobody wanted. They set themselves AGAINST fans. They took care of their buddies. They didn't want to put winning programs on the field. They had all the momentum in the world and blew it monumentally. Winningest team in the 90's. Undefeated season. Bowl games against P5s in front of 50k. More Heisman candidates back to back to back than any program in college football...in that span. A freakin' movie released nationally with A list actors about them...and BLEW IT. They took a silver platter and turned it into a dumpster fire. And then we're supposed to "be a good fan" and care? Nope. Like so many others...even if I wanted to care I can't anymore...

I became a fan in about 1964/65 and my first game was against OU at the old Fairfield in 1969, before the turf. I suffered through all the years of losing, damn if im bailing now!! I hate what these new rules have done to college sports, but our team is in a rough spot. I am so happy we made the move to the Sunbelt, that helps keep things interesting!  I wish they were more open and didn't keep us in the dark, but its still my school and my team!! Go Herd!!
