Like a jilted lover or something. Did they deny your student application or something?

Loved it when I saw the score showing Akron losing to Ohio…That should stop all that talk…..

Where are all the Marshall fans now talking junk about our wins??? UNC beats a pretty good Ga Tech team last night and they took ND to the wire last week…I do not see them commenting on that this week.

"16. East Carolina (18). Bye in Week 8 for the Pirates, Thursday night showdown with, uh, UConn in Week 9. Sorry, ECU, but it's true: after Virginia Tech went down (again) at Pitt, this resume remains a bit thin for a ranking this high."

I guess the next thread will be about CBS Sports, or how every AAC team could absolutely destroy their writing staff. ECU is a good team, but the VT loss did diminish that win.

"East Carolina (5-1) -- Next Week: vs. UConn

Outlook: Have you ever watched a night game in Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium? Saturday nights might be the best, but I'm expecting a good show from the Pirates fans on Thursday night for a nationally televised broadcast. The Pirates will look to win its sixth game, but most importantly continue the path to a New Years Six bowl game."

Yawn

Your point?

I don't know why you guys sweat Marshall so hard. You are convinced every AAC team could demolish Marshall, and we have no chance of gaining the Access Bowl. It seems like you are wasting a ton of energy trying to discredit a team you all agree would barely win a game in your conference.
