    Herd gets 11-1 Army (Ranked 18/19/22) in the Independence Bowl on ESPN. Fun game against a nationally ranked opponent!

    Yeah, it would be if the Herd actually has a roster by then...

    Why?

    Historical bowl, play an academy, and the payout is 2.2 million

    Why!? This isn't the first time Marshall has played in a bowl with an interim head coach, in fact the last time we did this we won.

    Martial always plays better when their backs are against the wall.

  • If we pull it off it is going to be a GREAT win. My concern is what we are going to be left with after this week.

  • Getting a bowl is more important than winning a bowl.  Southern Miss will not be getting a month of practice with their new coach.  We will.  Nobody cares about who wins a bowl.  Even less withe the playoffs.  Personally I'd rather see Army run all over Boise if I had my choice, but we'll give it a go.

    And the best Army can do is make it 1-1.  Maybe they get flashback of Randy Moss nutsack gliding over their forehead in a hurdle.

  • This might be our best bowl draw ever. Higher ranked opponent than BYU in '99. Bigger name than #16 Louisiana in '21.

    We will not be getting any practice with our new coach either, Gibson isn?t the HC for the bowl game

    Duh, but Gibson will be on campus won't he.  Evaluation time.  Assessment time.  Recruiting time.  He gets to see his guys in action and determine exactly what he needs.  Huff would kill for that.

    I was going to say the same thing. Could not have ask for a better opponent.

  • One thing is guaranteed.

    There will be ZERO Army players that are opted out, in the portal, or declared for the draft.

    They'll be completely in tact.

    We may very well be a shell.
    Let's hope a good amount of the guys want to finish this out.

    We'll have the JV squad and who tf knows coaching it, but hey, 2.2 mill is 2.2 mill.

  • Bowl games are so irrelevant these days. Should honestly be dropped completely if they are going to keep transfer portal the same.

    The right way is always the right way- Coach Huff

  • The payout is worth playing for. We may get shellacked but it's been a good and eventful season

    He may also be assessing staff members to see
    If there are any that he'd like to try to keep.

  • Lost in all the bitching and moaning is the fact that if Marshall wins they?ll finish 11-3 and in the top 25.
