Someone Get This Man A Tissue

by Dr. Charley West on Oct 26, 2008 4:14 PM EDT in Marshall

I kid you not, this was actually posted on the Marshall Rivals board. Seriously, a man, presumably sobbing gently and standing on a ledge somewhere in Huntington, took the time to type this diatribe. WVU's success has affected him so much that he is losing the will to live. That's taking Marshall's jealousy to a whole new level.

So, without further ado, I give you the saddest thing ever...

I love our town, our team, our University, and our fans. I havent been on for a couple weeks, b/c of frustration levels beyond understanding.

But I have been really bothered by something lately, and maybe some other viewpoints can help ease my frustration. Why do dickheads like WVU get to celebrate and smile while good people and schools like ours suffer? I'm serious, it seems like the whole good kharma badd kharma crap is reversed when it comes to us and them.

We have great fans who many say they were treated well and would love to come back, while they have visitors write on sporting news and tell them they are a**holes, yet they get more exposure. We have a town that is filled with loyalty and people hungry for work and growth, while they get put in some magazine saying they are one of the best small towns.

They start off struggling and turn around and look solid again, we start off good and now are struggling. I try not to hate WVU, but I am so tired of the BS. We as a community have gone through alot, enough that there was a national movie made about us, but we seem to be going backwards.

Why is this? How can this even be possible? I heard them jackasses say on CSS the other day that WVU looks to be the team in the Big East again. I mean WTF? This needs to change.

It’s that goddamn Matthew McConaghey. He’s just so dreamy and inspiring. He was in a movie about Marshall-CLEARLY they are God’s favored children. And yet, this. Apparently, the heathens of modern day Sodom (aka Morgantown) are undeserving of their success. Fear not, Herd fans, I’m sure the brimstone is en route as we speak.

People like him are the reason Marshall sucks because people like him are the reason they went from I-AA, where they were a powerhouse, to I-A, where they are just another CUSA team.

Your community did go through alot… 40 years ago. Believe it or not not all those guys on that plane that died were from Huntington. Some were in deed from Morgantown, Buckhannon, Parkersburg and lots of other “small towns” all over. What makes WVU and Morgantown such a great place is the fact that we are all Mountaineers. It’s not just the people who live there and work there. It’s knowing the fact that as a West By God Virginian we are all loyal, caring people of this state. We help each other and want to see one another excel.
Believe it or not, we want to see Marshall do well, too. It’s a long time coming until there’s any real competition between us and them, but just like most WV families, we want our retarded little cousins to do well in their own special way.
Marshal ran away from the Big East because they couldn’t hack it. So we can’t be the team in our conference because you aren’t the best in yours?!?

I’m a WVU grad that grew up around the Huntington area (Barboursville). What you read here is just a small taste of the jealous ingorance that I grew up hearing day in and day out.

I really feel that those Div 1aa titles, brain washed them into thinking that they could compete with the big boys. But the most hilarious factor is their inability to understand the final scoreboard. Quotes of a Herd fan, “You guys were only up 21 in the 3rd quarter” or “We won the first half of that game” or “How many players do you have in the nfl?” Be sure to let them know that we have 11 (5 starters) and they have 5 (2.5 starters)

If they would just except that they are our bitches, than maybe they could move on and focus on getting back to .500.
