What they suggested for us probably isn't near as bad as you would think. Marshall's is bad and by bad, I mean "Oh no you dih-int." The kind of bad that makes you feel bad for laughing, yet still slightly amused.

Am I missing DougityDog’s video? Where is it?

LOVE THE VIDEO! I think Dog should be in charge of everything that is supposed to get Mountaineer fans fired up. I felt like running through the office and putting my shoulder into a wall after watching it.

Watch Out...Karma Is A Bitch
That picture of the Marshall stadium is probably one of the most disgusting things I have ever seen. Whoever took the time to do that photoshopping shouldn’t fly anytime soon. Just an unbelievable lack of a class.
@Dougity…good work.
Now is the time boys to make a big noise.
No matter what the people say,
For there is naught to fear, the gang's all here,
So hail West Virginia, hail.
I pick on Marshall a lot but that was not in good taste.
Leave no doubt tonight! Leave no doubt tonight! No doubt! They shouldn't of played the Old Gold'n Blue.

Wow.
The espn article on the student section has over 700 comments.
Who bothers to try and make a point after about the 100 mark?
Call me crazy, but I don’t think Kristen Bell is that hot.
