Coming To A Theater Near You: Tom Herrion

by JohnRadcliff on Jan 18, 2012 11:00 AM EST in Marshall

Most Marshall coaches don't do much to impress me. They seem to be around for 2-4 years and either get fired or find a better job. Outside of Rick Huckaby and Billy Donovan, I couldn't name one in the past thirty years. But Tom Herrion will be remembered forever thanks to his Redd Foxx impersonation Saturday during the game against Central Florida.

It boggles the mind how a college coach could act like this during a game. Not that college coaches aren't a rare breed. Bob Knight and John Chaney are a couple that come to mind. But the exaggeration Herrion exhibited was way worse than any soccer flop that I've seen. Maybe that fairy tap got him in just the right spot. Or perhaps he always wanted to be an actor and he knew the camera was on him. If so, I've got the perfect role for him. Lloyd Christmas!

When

That ice, or penny, or whatever it was hit his face a couple years ago he acted like he had taken a direct hit from a titan II ballistic missile.

ok

I’m not going to belittle him for the quarter/whatever incident. That incident was completely out of line. The UCF incident, well, that’s a horse of a different color.

Blundering Turds...

…what more do we expect from a University that names its student organization “Gang Green” and then changes it to copy the only other major university in the state’s, “Marshall Maniacs.”

I’ve been on boards where Marshall fans in droves had the nerve to claim we stole the maniacs moniker from them. That they had the name Marshall Maniacs lined up until WVU stole it from them for the Mountaineer Maniacs, so they used Gang Green instead.

A lot of folks get on to me because I don’t root for Marshall when they’re not playing us, that I should support another West Virginia school. But why? Doesthe University South Carolina support Clemson? University of North Carolina support Wake Forest? Ohio State support Toledo? No.

I. Hate. Marshall.
