If my favorite team lost to Ohio U, I would be looking real hard for any validation I could find too.

Don't forget MTSU. And got curb stomped by WKU. And needed overtime to beat Kent St.

But that's a GREAT season by Marshall's standards ... it's cute.

You can look at Sagarin rankings to see how you stack up to a program with a totally different schedule. WVU 27 Marshall 66 predictor has WVU favored by 13. Really you should be glad you don't play us. It is the only way you can claim victory. Kind of sad really.

Oh no we've herd many of you attempt to debunk Sagarian ratings in the past when it didn't suit you that well

Since we are talking about polls: here is one.

Bowling Green and Georgia Southern
You know what Bowling Green and Georgia Southern have in common with WVU?

They too received fewer votes than the Herd in the final polls for the last THREE CONSECUTIVE YEARS

Breaking News Update: Marshall is replacing it's scoreboard at the Joan. It will no longer keep track of points scored in football games. It will show how many POINTS each team is receiving from coaches that VOTE in the Coaches Poll.

Very true ....they turn on poor Jeff like a dog on a Pork Chop!
I just looked it up out of curiosity. I also look at it to see where we stand against our next opponent in basketball. Funny that starting Vegas line matches up pretty well and then changes with the betting. In all serious I am happy for Doc and hope he continuous his success. But at the end of the day Moral victories is all you can claim. 12-0

I'm curious as well, how many years in the last 20 has MU finished ranked higher than WVU by Jeff?

I can remember a Marshall fan claiming Geno would never complete another pass like he did for a touchdown his freshman year against Marshall. Boy was he wrong.
HHHHHahahahhahahahahah...let me get this straight, MU claimed that Geno would never complete another pass after our game? That seems reasonable to you that anyone would claim that?

No He claimed he would never complete a pass like that again. That he got lucky. I am still laughing at you over the 20 year computer ratings when we beat you 8 times in that span. Mythical state championships and moral victories. Where does Marshall put all of its trophies?

Makes me want to claim Howard will never complete another pass! I put that right up there with the chicken suit! Hahahahahahha

From the HN main board:

"Here's a peace offering though, congrats on your 10 win season and top 35 finish. Facts are facts, it was a better ranking than WVU's. Kudos to you guys."

Why you gotta sell me out like that, Marine? Thought we was homies?

BTW, all I did was reiterate a fact. I didn't say I thought Marshall was better. WVU would win by 14+ in Morgantown and by a touchdown (at least) in Huntington.

I mean, you guys did lose to Ohio, MTSU and WKU this year, right?

Guys, Let marine celebrate the greatest achievement in his life. For him, getting more votes than WVU is a major goal in his life.

Hey marine, enjoy it buddy. You earned it. Your team had ore points/votes/whatever you want to call it than WVU, and no one can ever take that away from you.
