Topic: These Tweets from Herd players and coaches say a lot.

This is why we suck as a fanbase. Most of us are busy cheering for "our other favorite teams" and most of us ain't got no dawg in us. Screw being nice. Screw Southern Miss and screw Charles Huff. He can choke on a bag of d!cks.

So go tell Southern Miss fans that, like I do and Riley does and Banker and Maclid.  We actually stick it to them instead of crowing about it here.  What good does that sentiment do on this board?  I let them know every day that USM was Huff's last resort, that he'd rather be here, and that they're POS for targeting a conference coach.  What have you done besides whine about Marshal fans that don't share your opinion? Get in the game.

Here's 500 replies to USM fans about Huff since 11/25 just as all this broke open:

Nothing some Thorazine and a straight jacket wouldn't fix.

Like I said, screw Southern Miss and screw Huff. I don't need to go to their message board and say anything to them. I could care less about them.

You want to know what I do care about?I care about how embarrassing Marshall has become in the last 20 years. I care about people laughing at me when I say I'm a Marshall fan. I care about people not even knowing Marshall exists. I care about turning on tv and our televised game looking like someone is filming with an iPhone while players play on a field surrounded by moldy concrete covered by faded tarps with Kroger logos on them on turf that looks like a bag of trash exploded on it. I care about everytime the camera pans out in the stands people are sitting on their hands with looks on their faces like they've been sucking on a lemon soaked in vinegar.

I attend a lot of away games. Our facilities, fan involvement and game day atmosphere are miles behind other schools. This will continue until our fans finally get a damn clue and quit accepting the status quo. It is what it is.

You?re embarrassed that we have the 7th highest winning percentage among current G5 teams over the last ten years?  Or is it that we are going to our 8th straight bowl game?  Maybe you blush at the fact that out of 133 teams in FBS only 36 have won more games in the last decade?  Maybe it embarrass you that we are top 10 in G5 average attendance?  Maybe you?re embarrassed that we have played in 4 conference championships over the last 12 years?

Maybe you should be embarrassed about your perception versus reality.

All of that is true. Next time I have one of my clients ask "where is Marshall at?" I'll be sure to spew out these percentages. It may be true but at the same time, other teams don't look like a fifth grader sprayed the SBC logo on the field with a can of chalk paint.
