I am sure 5th Year Senior will be along later today or tomorrow with his game grades, but I thought I would take a moment and relay my frustration with this game.

We really can't win.  When you face an opponent that will consistently make excuses for all losses, feel pride and honor in simply covering the spread, then taunt you like the game never happened, how could we possibly win?

Ok, after reading that headline, you're probably looking for your go-to stake for the classic Monday afternoon witch burning (it's the only way I start my week).  But, I implore, bear with me on this one.

I, very quietly and very selectively, cheer for Marshall.  OK, now you're definitely angry, but I will try to explain...

Think this game isn't just a little too important to Marshall?

If Pastilong's legacy is going to stay intact, and right now it's being held together with two hands and duct tape, he better well not let Gov. Manchin force West Virginia into a 1-for-1 with Marshall.  In my opinion, and I can't believe I'm saying this, I think Pastilong gets this one right.  Let's take a look at the factors.

...with a nerf basketball that I launched onto the court after a devastating OT loss.

The year before, I obtained his cell-phone number and posted it on a sign at the game. And we called it about a thousand times.

That same year, J.R. VanHoose, during pre-game warmups, walked over to me in the front row of the student section, grabbed my sign and tore it up. Right in front of me. What did that sign read? Nothing too bad, just poking fun at a recent DUI arrest.

FG: 48%
FT: 86%
BAC: .12

During the infamous "Fire Drill Game," I literally had to restrain my shit-faced friend in the Civic Center tunnel from punching Greg White in the face.

Needless to say, I've had some interesting moments during the Capital Classic. But one fact remains: I hate Marshall, and very little gives me more pleasure than watching yet another dejected Herd crowd leave the Civic Center each year.

Can't wait....see you guys inside.

West Virginia Junior College felt it was time to beef up its mascot, Marco. In doing so the school paid over $9,000 for two new uniforms. To put it bluntly, they should get their money back, it looks like someone dropped the damn head in the mud.

Also, look at those fucking 1990's windbreaker pants. What did they do, go Goodwill and let a blind guy pick them out? Good lord, can this school do anything right?

First, they break some poor kids leg and now they are breaking the spirits of a fanbase that eats to make themselves feel better (Huntington is not a healthy place). I can't wait to see the other cheap ass outfit. I actually feel sorry for them, and I doubt Randy Moss would be happy.

Boredom makes you do strange things. No, downloading porno is completely normal. I'm talking about watching a few minutes of Marshall v. Houston last night on ESPN2.

Before I vomitted in my mouth a little from ugly ass football I noticed something that made me throw my fucking shoe. Marshall had on green fucking helmets. Why is that a big deal? Because its normal helmet color is WHITE.

Marshall raises something like 25 bucks, an envelope, and a stick a gum a year and they can afford an alternate fucking helmet. Why can't we get a throwback jersey and helmet for a game too.

Come on Eddie P. do some fucking work and get it done. Who am I kidding, Eddie P. will do nothing but stick his finger up his ass, make Parsons smell it and have him say that shit smells good. So you will never again see this on the field...

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.

Sure, WVU has lost a few games recently but is there any real chance we get beat by Marshall? There is no chance in hell that happens. The coaching staff will gel with the players and call a game that will be a thing of beauty. Do I have any facts, stats, or proof? Nope, just a belief that we can only go up from this point forward. Final score, WVU 38 - West Virginia Junior College 10.

At least this year we won't complain about Marshall pulling down our strength of schedule. Thanks again Joe for another easy W.
