Quote:HUNTINGTON – Mike Hamrick is baffled, and to be honest, disappointed.

Hamrick, Marshall’s veteran director of athletics, has heard little but backlash from much of the Herd fan base in the aftermath of last week’s announcement of a signed home-and-home football series with Appalachian State.

He said the notion that Marshall would work a home-and-home deal (for the 2021 and 2022 seasons) with a program that isn’t competitive isn’t fair to his alma mater and a football program in which he once played — much less Appalachian State.

Hamrick said the disgruntlement is as misguided as the notion expressed by some Herd fans … that ASU is a Southern Conference program, “so why would we play a home-and-home with someone below us (in the FCS)?”

Ha! Adorable little bunch, aren't they?

This is my favorite quote:

Quote:“There are reasons we have a hard time getting games,” the Herd AD said. “We’re so good at home no one wants to come here (an .845 percentage at Edwards Stadium trails only an .846 by Georgia Southern among FBS teams that have played more than one season in their stadium).

Aaaahhhhh Growing Pains . . . . .

Sounds like HerdZone has been too busy writing nasty letters to the AD to post here...

For us to have that home record after 20 years at the 1A level, that is more impressive then GSU record after 1 year

Those are all-time records that includes both of our time in FCS. After the first year we can say we've never lost at home at the FBS level.

He was the first guy I thought about the nano second this announcement came out. His quotes on all things bash on App State, Ga Southern, and the SoCon need to all be dug out, since he always made it very apparent Marsha was way too great to be tinkering with the like of those little tykes.

Our stadium 5 years at the 1AA level 20 years at the 1A level.....still more impressive

How much of the .155 was against App? That's pretty arrogant when they hold a pretty good advantage in games vs Marshall?

Yet they have no problem playing UNCC, who has virtually no program and ODU who started up 5 years ago? It's a clear case of nerves. Just the thought of losing to us sends those folks into a state of delirium.

You see, this is what I love about having App State and GaSouthern in the Belt. There's some quality hate going on here.

That absence of sound you're hearing is what it's like when no one cares.

Those are CUSA games, and you already know they only take "real" football programs over there. I mean you can't be losing to D2 and D3 teams and just get the invite and all that.

^ That scene right there was filmed in Georgia, but what occurred is what we do to the likes of most teams at KBS.

So is the Walking Dead. Doesn't mean we have zombies walking around. Heck We are Marshall was filmed down the street from GaSt, and you don't see terrible football being played in Atlant.... Never mind.

We just like to keep the facts straight, since the Deliverance theme comes up rather often in our direction. Far to often it is one of your own fans too.

Well to fair it is set in the Appalachian mountains

I can understand Marshall not wanting to play Appy. They have a 8-14 record against them.

Obviously you have never been to a Georgia State football game...
