Considering his talent and having been around ACC football and on a top 25 team this year, I will trust his judgement.

Love the positivity. This kid is about to run the rock in a big way.

Curious why they are at Marshall giving the Wolfpack sign?

Wolfpack  makes a head with fingers, not tucked.  This is something I'm seeing more of at Marshall, suppose to be Bison horns

Brad Smith started this.

Brad Smith started this.

He didnt actually. The students started this about 10 years ago. We?ve been doing it since I was a freshman in 2014.

Gotcha, I haven't really noticed it since he started doing it. But then again, I haven't been in the student section for over 40 years. There is another word for that, but I refuse to say it. Thanks for the clarification. 

[FilmJunky]

I mean what?s he supposed to say? ?We?re screwed? lol

[ThunderingHerdFan]

It's been happening for far more than 10 years. It's not formal obviously but the Horns Up sign was used when I was in school in 2001... and I'm confident it didn't start there.

Exactly, buddies aren't gonna trash a buddy in his new gig. Every coach we have had, has had someone say they are the best and MU is lucky to have them.

[mu1995]

He is not a coach, he is a well regarded running back with lots of other possibilities he could have elected to take.

Best running back to ever wear the green.

Not important, but is that young man awfully tall for a running back or is Gibson on the shorter side?

I remember the students & cheerleaders doing it in 09 when I was at Marshall (and it probably started before that).. I remember thinking I didn't like it because it was too similar to Texas' Hook Em Horns hand sign. But, as I've gotten older and it's been used more & more I've come not to mind it.

[HerdnClt]

Cheerleaders started doing it in the early 70?s. ( Spinoff from Texas.) . They would make the sign and yell,?Hook ?em Herd!?

I don't know why people speak in absolutes like that, that they can't walk back when it doesn't work out.  Just makes them look foolish and when they do it a lot it erodes credibility.  Better to say a talented running back with a lot of potential to do well here than to say the best to ever wear the green.  We had Ahmad Bradshaw ffs and I'm not even saying he was the best we've ever had, as that is purely opinion no matter how many stats one throws at it. 

It's an unproven statement of opinion passed on as a fact with zero supporting evidence, as the guy, God forbid, could get hit by a bus tomorrow and never carry a ball for us, yet "the best to ever wear the green" still exists as a statement in this universe.
