CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- In a 32-hour, 13-minute span starting last Friday at noon, yours truly saw eight quarters and three overtimes of college football in the Mountain State.

The back-to-back days of coverage - starting with Marshall's 31-point shellacking of East Carolina and concluding with WVU's season-ending whimper against Iowa State - began before dawn Friday. My wife and 21-month old son were in Pennsylvania to visit family, so there was a deep sleep to be had.

Instead, my peaceful slumber ended before the alarm sounded and I began perusing social media, as I am wont to do. My eyeballs skipped over most comments, but there was one Herd football supporter who provided an unsolicited challenge to the Marshall players.

"You are at the door men," the comment read. "Kick it in."

Excellent read about Marshall and the Northern school directions.  Well written.
