I dislike GaSo so much that our loss has one positive. They get the crushing blow of being so close to the championship game to see it slip away. Had we beat them, they would not have that hollow feeling right now. I was already numb to losing so no biggie for me.

Re: Go Marshall!
JMU controls their SBC destiny and proceeds to blow a 14-0 and then 17-0 leads in back to back games. Not sure I’ve ever seen that.

Miami just did it the past 2 of 3 weeks. 21-0 lead. ACC is down horribly bad. Clemson could sneak into the playoffs as a 3 seed (only have to beat G5 SMU) and South Carolina could be out, even though they just beat Clemson.

Re: Go Marshall!
I like how you said “only have to beat G5 SMU” like SMU isn’t in the ACC now and hasn’t destroyed everything in their path this year.

Re: Go Marshall!
For some of us old guys, who EVER thought we’d be excited that Marshall won last night and happy they’re going to the SBC Championship game?

Re: Go Marshall!
For real! And I’ll be pulling for them next week. I really thought when they came back into the picture, they’d quickly resume their spot as the most hated, but it seems there is a respect from both sides that wasn’t there back in the day.

Re: Go Marshall!
I can respect Marshall and with that comes a willingness of, "It not us, I can live with that, and there is certainly worse." The worse options being any of being JMU, Coastal, or GaSo. JMU is too much like us. Coastal was too boastful to early for not enough reasons yet, and GaSo just has terrible fans and well, Statesboro.

Oh no! I’ve delighted in Georgia Southern’s misery since 1993. The more misery the more my delight.

Looking like Gibson from State might return home (WV) to Marshall. New blood for us to beat.

Re: Go Marshall!
Anybody know if this is true?? Or fake news...AI crap. If true, will Marshall even be able to field a team to play their bowl?

Re: Go Marshall!
I saw that misery firsthand in 1987, I just did not know at the time what that rivalry would grow to be, because the next weekend we lost to Marshall.

Re: Go Marshall!
Now it looks like if your team is really bad, you can not only get a new coach, but you can also get an entirely new team.Rick83 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 09, 2024 8:22 pmAnybody know if this is true?? Or fake news...AI crap. If true, will Marshall even be able to field a team to play their bowl?
