Couldn’t keep the herd in the corral.

It’s Marshall. This would never happen to a serious program.

Call it yet another unexpected result of the portal.


The hell it is unexpected. If you open the portal before bowl season players aren't going to play. It ain't rocket surgery.

Coach Charles Huff pulling the biggest dbag move of all time. Builds up Marshall then leaves and literally TAKES HIS 2-deep with him to an in-conference team.


Marshall didn't renew his contract effectively firing him.

I'm not anti-transfer portal, but a window opening up before a single playoff game has been played is a travesty that must be fixed.

I understand players wanting to go somewhere with a more favorable depth chart or lower talent level that allows them to be a starter instead of backup, but can you imagine how it would feel seeing the team you were literally a part of a few weeks earlier hoisting the trophy and getting rings?

It would be especially hard to watch if injuries during the playoffs games mean they would have had the chance they always wanted..but it didn't happen because they already portaled out.

This is idiotic tbh. Having a bowl game means you can have extra practice after the season and get younger players some experience they otherwise wouldn't have.

Coaches need to treat the non-playoff bowls as a tune-up for the following season and stop being pussies.

This is what we all wanted, so there should be no bitching about it.


The only people that wanted it other than some players were sports agents that are just above ambulance chasers and pedophiles.

Agreed but I have a feeling I'm going to have to suffer through 4 more quarters of Radio Milroe instead of preparing for next year.
