West Virginia fans were over "the school down south" the second that game ended. The school down south, on the other hand, is still not over the fact that they, yet again, got embarrassed by the Mountaineers.
Marshall's season ended with a sound defeat at the hand of the Mountaineers. Prime example of this fact is Saturday's game at "The Joan" brought in an eye popping 18,800 "fans." Rumor out of Huntington, however, is that there were actually only 9,400 fans in the stands, but everyone was so fat they had to be counted as two people.
So why am I talking about Marshall if we were over them a few weeks back? Well, my friends, Chuck Landon is at it again, and I just could not let his idiocy continue....
The Tuesday after the WVU game, Chuck Landon wrote an article in the Herald-Dispatch titled, "Fact is, Mountaineer athletics are subsidized". In it, he shows his journalistic chops by "proving" WVU's athletic department receives state funds. His "proof" is simply Pastilong's words in a deposition from the Fraud case. He does no other research and basically calls all WVU fans, and our AD, liars.
Immediately after the above article was published, a WVU athletic department official contacted Landon to tell him he was a complete moron [ed. I wish we all could do that.]. They explained to him what Pastilong meant by "state funds" in his deposition. In response to that call, Chuckie writes what is supposed to be a retraction of his first article, but instead just goes further in showing his idiocy.
You see, when most of us read or hear about state funds, we think of tax-based funding from the state of West Virginia.
But that's not what Pastilong meant.
Instead, he was referring to money WVU generates from ticket sales, BCS revenue, television contracts, other bowl revenue, etc.
Since WVU is a state agency, it is required to deposit that money into state accounts. But that money doesn't actually go to the state. Instead, the state allows WVU to keep the "state funds" it generates in order to support the athletic department.
So far, so good in the retraction department. While he does not admit that he was wrong, he does finally state real facts about the situation. After this, however, is when the train flies off the tracks.
Just because WVU chooses to force its athletic department to be self-supporting doesn't give the Mountaineers the right to hold other schools accountable while negotiating game contracts.
Yet, that's precisely what Pastilong did recently.
He explained that any contract extension of the WVU-Marshall football series had to be a 2-for-1 because, "We are a self-supporting athletic department. We must have seven home football games and anything else would endanger us sustaining our financial stability."
Um, Mr. Landon, are you a jackass? Rhetorical question, of course.
WVU is not holding anyone else "accountable" for its choice to be self supporting. It is holding itself accountable for this choice. It is taking a hard line stance by saying we need to pay the bills, and the only way we can do this is by having seven home football games.
Marshall didn't force the Mountaineer athletic department to be self-supporting.
WVU's own administration did that.
It was self-inflicted.
Self-inflicted? We did not throw a shoe at ourselves. We simply made the decision to not take a hand out from the state.
So, how can WVU reasonably ask Marshall to accept unrealistic terms just because the Mountaineer athletic department is forced to be self-supporting?
It can't.
Not reasonably.
Yet, that is what WVU is trying to do.
Reasonable? Chuck, you wouldn't know reasonable if it came up behind you and cut off your mullett.
The fact that we are self supporting is not the only reason we want a 2-for-1. You are forgeting the fact that Marshall has yet to beat WVU. You are forgeting fact that Marshall has yet to play another school of WVU's caliber on its home field on a 1-for-1 basis. Not to mention the fact that WVU needs a good strength of schedule because "WE PLAY FOR CHAMPIONSHIPS."
If WVU's athletic department wants to be self-supporting, more power to them. It is an admirable distinction.
But there is nothing admirable about WVU trying to force Marshall to accept an unreasonable series extension just to help the Mountaineers' finances.
But it is alright for WVU fans to help Marshall sell more season tickets than ever before? Hypocritical? The sad thing is, Marshall athletics could not survive without tax money from WVU fans.
If WVU's athletic department needs some fiscal relief, Pastilong needs to talk to school president James Clements.
It isn't Marshall's concern.
Aww Chuckie, aren't you cute. Standing up to big bad WVU. I hope your AD continues his stance because the Marshall series does nothing for either team or the state.
The state would have "new" money coming to town if both WVU and Marshall had home games. Any money generated by a continuation of the WVU vs. Marshall would have been spent in either Morgantown or Huntington on gamedays. Having two sets of opposing fans traveling into our great state would generate more revenue for the state.
WVU gets downgraded on SOS, loses money because our fans care more about Liberty than Marshall (see attendance), and we have to worry about cheap shots from their no class players.
Marshall can not beat WVU, they then get sad and eat their feelings causing them to be the fattest city in the US.
It is time for both teams to move on and admit that Marshall is the best commuter school in the state and WVU is THE flagship University for the greatest state in Union.

Marshall fans don’t seem to get they have no leverage in this discussion. We don’t need to play them…they NEED to play us. WVU, rightly, has the upper hand and if Marshall wants to play they should play by our rules. This whole crap about “Well, if they wont give us a 1-1 we’ll just tell them to shove it!”…I don’t think anyone at WVU would be bothered by that. They don’t seem to understand they are the only ones that NEED this game to be played…and at the end of the day they will probably back down and just sign the 2-1.
I read some of the herd boards from time to time and their delusion over the actual bargaining power Marshall possesses in these negotiations is so far from reality that its pathetic.
It would be as if our AD went to Columbus and demanded a 1-1 with the buckeyes…“Or else!”
I’d love for MU’s AD to actually tell Pastilong and WVU to “shove it!”. If anything that would ensure that we DON’T have to take it up the ass to play them for the next decade. Not having them on the schedule would free up a spot to continue the rivalry with Maryland or replace them with another bottom feeder.
You’d think that after WVU’s administration gave them the cold shoulder when they acted like unprofessional clowns in the late 90s/early 2000s they would’ve learned not to bite the hand that feeds them.
Thank's Uncle Joe!
Let it be known that Manchin’s lasting legacy will be the Friends of Coal bowl as a campaign promise, and “Open For Business”….what a clown.
What Chuckles and all of the Marshall fans fail to realize about the Friends of Coal bowl is that WVU does not care whether it plays the game or not. Landon’s entire article is written around the blatant lie that WVU wants to play Marshall. We don’t.
WVU doesn’t need the game and loses money in the deal. Whether we’re playing a fellow BCS team 1-1 for exposure, or playing a team like Liberty for money and home games we still benefit more than if we agree to any deal where we play in Huntington.
The claim initially from the Herd faithful and our joke of a governor was that the game will garner national attention. Here it is yr 4 of the game between the two schools where the underdog took the bigger program to the wire in a mostly close game….AND NOBODY NOTICED! If you weren’t in state, or perhaps didn’t have gameplan you weren’t watching us play. Hell, the only way that I actually caught that suckfest in the rain was that the CW in Pittsburgh carries WVU games when no one else will pick them up.
The game is a loss for WVU no matter how you choose to look at it. No exposure, uninteresting location for an away game, little money generated, and even if we beat them 100-0 it doesn’t matter. Ed needs to walk into the next negotiation for the future of the series, throw the tv ratings for the Friends of Coal Bowl in their face, and tell Marshall athletics/Landon/MU’s redneck fans to kiss his pasty white ass.
This argument begins and ends with one fact and one fact only for me...
Marshall returned tickets to a game held in its own state. My God, that’s awful.

And they’re not as lousy this year as they’ve been the last four or so years.

Marshall is Officially a Charity Case
Basically, isn’t that what Landon is advocating here? “Hey WVU, don’t do what’s best for your own program—-come play us 1-1 instead.” Regardless of the reason for WVU’s athletic department remaining self-sufficient, that’s the way it is.
If I’m running a business, and I have to sell my widgets at $2.00 each to make ends meet, and you want me to sell you widgets at $1.00 each, tough. You can either buy my widgets at $2.00 each, or you can get your widgets from somewhere else. It makes no difference to me. Now, if I somehow thought that selling you my widgets at a discount would benefit me, maybe I would lower the price. But that’s certainly not the case here. If you want my widgets, you pay the price I ask.
Those are the terms, Marshall, take them or leave them. We don’t need to play this game. If you don’t like that, go somewhere else and quit whining about it.
Poorly researched articles that were badly written is a big reason why Chuck Landon is no longer working at the Charleston Daily Mail. For a very short time, he was their sports editor…

Amen and amen and amen
All of you are exactly right. That is why I continue to hate Marsha College even though I really don’t want to hate them. I really don’t want to. I was raised a Marsha fan because my Dad went to Marsha and I went to tons of football and basketball games as a kid. But everything changed when two things happened: 1) I went to WVU and 2) Marsha kept moving up to 1A and are playing us regularly. Plus their stupid fans and stupid sports writers and stupid athletic dept. don’t help.
Marshall message boards?
They don’t have enough fans for a message board. I figured they just used tin cans with strings to communicate with one another.
Leave no doubt tonigt! Leave no doubt tonight! No doubt! They shouldn't of played the Old Gold'n Blue.

They have a certain white trash contingent that inhabit their rivals board who are completely eaten up with WVU. They see us in their nightmares, celebrate our every setback (like our children’s hospital losing funding), and deserve nothing but contempt from our fellow West Virginians.
If they are men...
They will come on here and defend their sorry excuse for a community college.

I knew it.
There was no way that any Marshall fan would show his face on this blog for a serious discussion about football. I feel sorry for the Marshall program. But I am still laughing at them on the inside.

Waste of time....
This game is a complete waste of time for all concerned. The Turds actually had a purpose when they were 1-AA. They had something to celebrate and get jacked up for. And their attendance was better then too. Now they just consistently get their asses handed to them, and for some reason, they seem to think they can play with the big boys.
“If they would have played us when we had Pennington and Moss….”
It’s amazing how our memory fails us, isn’t it?—WVU 42 Marshall State High School 31
I would love to support all in state schools. I like to see Fairmont State do well. Same goes for Alderson Broaddus, WVWC, and such. But I cannot say the same for the turds. I refuse to even watch that damn movie, but somehow, indirectly, I feel as if I would be contributing to that school by even viewing it.
I saw a stand up comedy routine by Carlos Mencia—he was making fun of a retarded kid while standing in line for a roller coaster. The retarded kid tried to jump line because he was in a wheel-chair. Carlos said he would have agreed if the kid would have admitted that Carlos was faster, stronger, smarter, and ultimately better. The kid said no—BACK OF THE LINE THEN!
If you wanted treated equal, then don’t expect to be treated any differently than anyone else. We’re not Michigan. We don’t book games with Appalachian State just to give our guys something to feel good about. Liberty and Marshall have both been in state charity cases. You should consider yourselves lucky to have reaped some of the profits you’ve taken just by playing us. Well, at least Liberty was gracious.
Now that I think about it., Fuck Marshall.
We had a deal in place to play them multiple times with Pennington and Moss
…but old Bob Pruett got all high and mighty after we beat them and screwed our schedule up for a couple years (schedules are done up to 5+ years in advance) and left us scrambling to fill it. If nothing else, because of that…..SCREW THEM!!!
Pruett...what a joke....
He was an ass clown from day one. He even screwed Marshall too from the sounds of it—didn’t he alter grades for the players or something like that?
Players were caught being grossly overpaid for working janitorial jobs where they didn’t even show up.
There were also accusations of bugging/listening to the headsets of opposing coaches (I believe it was from Miami OH that complained).
Pruett bears some of the blame for the decline of Marshall’s program as he essentially left the cupboards bare when he retired. The only thing Pruett was effective in was to get 1A transfers to come to Huntington. Once that well dried up so too did MU’s success.
I woke up today, and I never thought I would have read the word “widget” so much in one post, now I can’t get the word out of my head.

I know it's been said...
but NO ONE outside the state of West Virginia cares about this game (no one). This is, and always will be, a lose-lose for WVU. I know you need some cupcakes to pad your schedule, and like it or not Marshall, you ARE a cupcake. But I would be much happier scheduling a 1-1 with a better MAC or Mountain West team?! They (ESPN, every CFB fan in America) always talk about how the BE is a lame conference and allowing mediocre schools from mediocre conferences to try to dictate scheduling does not help the argument. Screw Marshall (and C-USA) lets go to the Mountain West, get a home-and-home with one of those schools and call it a day.
Sorry “Friends of Coal” no one cares about your “Bowl”
Did anyone else watch this year’s game and think it was nothing more than an advertisement for the coal companies? They’ve had ads before, but it seemed like this year they just ran the damned thing into the ground.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t agree at all with the eco nuts who think that we can snap our fingers and utilize alternative forms of energy on a whim, or who don’t really care about the welfare of the people of WV who depend on revenue from that coal.
Friends of Coal
I know what you mean. I want to see the coal industry thrive, via clean coal or whatever, and the state of WV do well accordingly. But the coal industry doesn’t give a rats ass about the WVU-Marshall game either (just like the rest of the world).
We know who’s going to win. It’s like watching that movie, The Titanic. If you didn’t know the damn ship was going to sink, you’ve got bigger issues.
WVU_Bills
You are right about one thing and that is no one cares about the “Coal Bowl” outside of WV but you forgot to mention one more important thing……NO ONE OUTSIDE OF WV CARES ABOUT WVU. Whether you want to believe it or not people outside of WV actually root for Marshall just due to the movie. I can’t tell you how many times I have had someone come up to me outside WV when I had a Marshall shirt on and tell me how much they loved our story and that they are now Marshall fans because of it. I can’t tell you how many internet posts from people who don’t even care about football and now follow Marshall. So I would say that if anyone cares about a school in the state of WV it is Marshall. WVU just continues to get associated with drunk asses, arsenists and rednecks.
Reality is IF we keep playing the series we will win. It will happen and I think the hatred for Marshall comes from knowing that it will happen at some point. WVU will have down years again because every school does. WVU just so happened to be having the best seasons of its entire history while MU had just started having some of its worst in 2 DECADES! It’s not rocket science why WVU has been dominant in the series.
That is why so many rival games are played for many many years and the teams fight back and forth throughout their history because one team will be down one period while the other may be up. Congrats, you have been great the last few years and you beat a crappy Marshall team. Things will turn again. If the series had been played from 97 on, then MU would have had multiple wins in that span. That is fact.
So, just because you have won all the games so far, don’t pat yourself on the back because it is like taking a random sample of games and saying “yep, we would beat them every time we play them because we have won 4 straight games.” That is the most ignorant thing someone can say.
last time I checked, Scooter
MU is the one that ended the series after ‘97. We can play “what ifs?” for days, nay weeks. Facts remain. MU pulled out, and Marshall O-fer. Nobody’s fault but your own.
“NO ONE OUTSIDE OF WV CARES ABOUT WVU”
While I dare say WVU doesn’t have the national presence that other teams (Florida, FSU, Ohio State, Texas, USC, etc) do, to say that no one cares is misleading and incorrect. Note the number of times WVU has played in front of national or regional audiences, as well as the availability of WVU gear in non WV retail areas (PA, Ohio, MD, NC, VA, etc). While WVU may not be in a league with Notre Dame, our exposure is vastly better than Marshall University’s. For a team that supposedly “no one cares” about outside of WV, we’re watched by quite a few people.
“Whether you want to believe it or not people outside of WV actually root for Marshall just due to the movie”
I recall the excitement among herd fans regarding the exploitation of the plane crash for added exposure and recruiting purposes. The movie was supposed to put MU on the map. Unfortunately that hasn’t happened to the degree that Marshall fans have assumed. Yes there has been some exposure, but no more than T.C. Williams High School in Virginia with the release of Remember the Titans.
“So I would say that if anyone cares about a school in the state of WV it is Marshall”
Wrong again. WVU has the higher profile academics, a greater hand in research, and more students. Marshall has little to no exposure in comparison.
“WVU just continues to get associated with drunk asses, arsenists and rednecks.”
Huntington is the fattest city in America with a healthy drug trafficking population, increasing gang activity, and its located in Southwest WV. Need I say more?
“Reality is IF we keep playing the series we will win.”
Eventually yes. You may win 1 out of every 10 games, 1 out of 25, or you may win 1 out of 100. Eventually Marshall will win a game…only a herd fan would be dumb enough to embrace such odds.
“WVU just so happened to be having the best seasons of its entire history while MU had just started having some of its worst in 2 DECADES! It’s not rocket science why WVU has been dominant in the series.”
Exhibit A of evidence to support the claim that Marshall fans neither understand football, nor comprehend why they had their run in the late 90s. Allow me to explain this to you:
Marshall, traditionally a very lousy football program, hired a coach named Bob who had questionable ethics while they were a 1AA team. Bob liked to use his inethical practices to lure players from 1A to his 1AA school because they could play immediately. These players did this for a variety of reasons, some simply couldn’t cut it at other schools, and many (like Randy Moss) had gotten in trouble so many times that it was their last shot. When Marshall moved to 1A and got busted by the NCAA, this path to success effectively disappeared. Short of some minor miracle there will be no more Darius Watts’s, no Chad Pentingtons, no Byrons, no Randy’s, at the very least not at the same time. Furthermore Marshall is located in a small state where the majority of the population is follows another school, and Marshall fans are notorious for not supporting your teams.
Short of Marshall U hiring some wunderkind alumni to coach who is willing to be paid very little, the herd will be lucky to win CUSA at all.
“If the series had been played from 97 on, then MU would have had multiple wins in that span. That is fact.”
If ifs and butts were candy and nuts…It was your coach/AD that prevented those games. Marshall might have won the 2001 meeting, but that would’ve been it. Aside from our 3-9 year, the Herd would’ve been beaten like a drum.
Oh my...
Mr. Herd fan, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on this blog is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

You are crazy...
The only exposure Marshall has on a nationwide basis is re-runs of “We Are Marshall” on TBS. They are not featured on ESPN, ABC or Fox Sports. You are living in a dream world fueled by KFC and coke.
WVU has played in some of the most watched college football games in ESPN’s history. In FACT, WVU played in the most watched game in the history of ESPN’s Thursday night football.
I am not wasting any more of my time with any of your points.

my my my
How short our memories are……
We beat your best with our average—1997. Enough said.
And you can thank Pruett for cheating your way into such a good 1-AA team. And you should lobby your athletic department to go back to 1-AA. Then you can actually play in a division where you can actually play respectably and maybe garner some more support from some of us WVU fans instead of just continuing to be an embarassment to the state.
And People Care About Marhall Because Of A Movie....?
…are we talking about the same movie that Matthew McHairpiece overacted his way to a razzie nomination in? (The razzy part might not actually be true…but it should have been….). The same movie where BOBBY BOWDEN helped the crushed MU offense by sharing WVU’S offense with them? Yeah, we are the bad guys….
I covered games with Langdon at the Boys state basketball tournament in the early 90’s, and he was a sleazy, mustachioed douche-rag then. I didn’t even know where he had gone since disappearing from the Daily Mail. I am not surprised that he found his place in Huntington…
Marhall=Marshall
…drunkard typing, but it does remind me….fun for WVU fans…ask Herd fans after which Supreme Court justice their school is named. More than half will say Thurgood Marshall…which is freaking hilarious. (Answer: John Marshall — the first Chief Justice of the court, and the man that gave us judicial review by outwitting Thomas Jefferson.)
friends of coal bowl, a joke & should be terminated...
There is no reason for the series to continue, marshall couldn’t beat WVU with Pennington & Moss, & they are light years away from ever having players of that caliber ever again. WVU needs to move on, tell the GOV. to shove it, & mind his own biz, & stick to being a politician (legal criminal). And stop playing these pathetic teams, including Marshall…As for the retard journalist, get a life buddy….
poor guy, he's trying....
But every time poor Landon walks into a job interview with that mullet, he just doesn’t stand a chance. They thought he would be okay as a newspaper journalist, since no one would ever have to look at him, but he managed to screw that up more than once from what I’ve read above.
Maybe the blundering turd needs a new towel boy. He would like that. I just wonder if they could afford a towel boy of that caliber……
you are right
Marshall should not be playing WVU….WVU should be playing Virginia…..and we can call it the Smug Bowl….and after the game you all can go and sit in the blue lot and smell your own farts.
UVA is scared to play us too

game
I grew up and live in north central WV. When I was at Marshall from 1996 until 2002…(with 2 degrees…so can the jokes)…nobody in Huntington or any of the students never even cared about playing WVU….I dont even recall anyone giving a rats ass. I never once heard that MU and WVU should be playing….I never read or heard anyone say Marshall could beat WVU….not once…..but when I came home….all I heard was trash talk….Marshall thinks they can beat WVU…Marshall is Community College…blah blah blah……well I dont know who would have won the games….I know that from 1997 until 2002 MU put a lot of players in the NFL…they had talent….MU historically has had problems with BCS schools because of the depth….MU was really lucky from 96 until 2002 they had no injuries at all…..not a single one that affected them the least bit….which was miraculous. Actually I get more trash talk from Fairmont State folks more than anyone…..which I find hilarious…because, from 1969 until 1980 Fairmont State tried…and tried….and tried to play WVU in basketball….WVU wouldnt even scrimage them…..partly because…Fairmont State would have beat them….ask anyone old enough to remember…..oh yeah and Fairmont State had actual West Virgians on their squad…(much like the MU squads through the 90’s and into 2000…until recently)…WVU folks dont like to hear that….and WVU wont even sponsor any…none….Fairmont State graduate programs….you know who is sponsoring …them? I dont have to tell you….you already know….WVU claims to be the “flagship” yet wont even help a growing school 20 miles south become a university. Which is something “flagships” are supposed to do…..Keep rooting for this school….the land grant research capital of the state that ranks 50th in just about everything…..educates are lawmakers at it’s law school..a state that by alot of accounts is a judicial hell hole……and only 50 percent of its students come from its home state….(MU 80 percent)….That means 50 percent of WVU graduates take their degree back to NJ…hardly ever to return…….Sorry for my rant…you wont hear from me again on this site…
Good god that was a lot of ellipses
First, I can’t believe I get to use this again but:
Mr. Herd fan, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on this blog is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
I will not bring up the fact your two degrees at Marshall failed to teach you proper English.
First, I guess during your years at Marshall you did not read the student newspaper or talk to anyone on campus. You must’ve just been locked in your room with your midget porn collection. My friend was the sports editor and he wrote multiple articles talking about how WVU was scared to Moo U in football.
Second, Fairmont State is its own University. WVU has its own University system of schools.
Third, the reason Marshall has more instate players on its team is because WVU did not want them. I love this state but the football talent is not that good. Give the best players in the state a choice and they would pick WVU over Marshall.
You will say what about Randy Moss. The only reason Moss went to Marshall was to avoid sitting out a year. He hates the Marshall program and is constantly seen wearing WVU gear.
Fourth, WVU has more TOTAL instate students than Marshall. Sorry we get students from across the nation to attend.
Finally, you’re an idiot.

Thanks
Moss….does wear WVU gear…which, like I said this whole feud was never a big deal to the students while I was there.. I have WVU shirts….from the engineering school…they were gifts I wear them. I used to see all kinds of WVU shirts and hats while I was down there……. This game is not healthy for the state….it is not healthy for the alumn….. Our conversation is not healthy…..What does this type of lingo solve? Personally I am glad you feel this way about my University….frankly, I do not want to have anything in common with you at all….I feel proud that we are not on the same team….God, I hope you are not a Methodist. If I read anyone associating themselves with Marshall U…and conversing the way you do…I would be ashamed and would address them about that…..I apologize for the flatulance joke…that was out of line….I have no excuse….and you can call me out on that.
What is up with the elipses?
If you cannot take some good natured ribbing then I feel sorry for you and your friends. I generally don’t dislike Marshall until y’all start talking about being on equal footing with WVU. Marshall grads have bigger inferiority complexes than Latoya Jackson. It is just sad
WVU is the top university in the state. Marshall is not. Get over it and get to work, I’m going to need my DP Dough delivered on time for tonight’s game. Remember to give me ranch instead of marinara.
And no, I’m not a Methodist…I can read.
