Unlike you, I was not impressed with Marshall at all. Frankly, Marshall hardly did anything to win the game. Our guys were simply hell bent on losing Friday night. From our receiver dropping a potential TD pass in the end zone (7 pts), to our kicker clanging a chip shot kick off the upright (3 pts), to our punter literally dropping a perfect snap and turning the ball over to Marshall at the 1-yd line (7 points), to "Turnover Machine" Weston Elliott throwing a late game INT in the Marshall end zone (7 points)......we did everything we could to LOSE. That's 24 points we left on the table in only 4 plays. We lost by 21.
So yeah, I like to have another shot at Marshall.
You made the blanket statement that conference championships don’t matter. That’s just silly.
I can understand you wanting to minimize a goal we can still attain because ultimately, you want Holtz gone. That’s a pipe dream and silly. It’s like hoping we lose the bowl game just because you hate the coach.
Not sure why being a realist after 40 years of fandom makes me a hater. I think it makes me very knowledgeable toward our fanbase. I know which fans left, when, and why over that period. I always thought winning mattered the most, but what I've discovered is arrogance from our AD and HC will offset winning. The recent fubar that was allowed by our players may be as detrimental as 2012 was.
Last thing JMar needs is another bowl
