Well, it did fill the biggest crock!!

Yeah, he only had one major flaw which skewed the ending. The C-USA championship game will be against 12-0 Old Dominion with the same result as the first meeting between the Owls and the Monarchs, a game winning Monarchs field goal. That last second victory sends the Monarchs on to a semi-final win against Ohio State (dubbed the Battle of the Banners) and finally a national championship win over the Hokies (The Virginia Showdown).

No need to spoil his factual account with pipe dreams.

You guys are insane, I'll tell you what is actually going to happen...Marshall is going to go undefeated going into the WKU game. After another high scoring game, disaster strikes MU in triple-OT. QB Birdsong gets his leg broken on a QB draw, but he pulls a Byron Leftwich and scores the winning drive to finish the game 75-72...(memorable isn't it). After this outstanding performance, Marshall is put in the spotlight. Everyone is pulling for the little Cinderella team from Huntington. After Marshall beats UTEP in the C-USA Championship in a come from behind victory, 7-3. QB Litton has a rough start, but scores the winning TD in the fourth quarter to put the Herd on top.
After putting a 7-5 Notre Dame in the playoff instead of undefeated Marshall, fans all around the country are outraged. Media pressure forces the playoff committee to admit that money and ESPN have been swaying their picks all along. After this is admitted, the Coaches and AP polls are used to determine the playoff. Final results...

1. Ohio State
2. Texas
3.TCU
4.Marshall

In the first game of the playoff, Marshall upsets the Buckeyes 35-24. This leads to the national championship where they will face Texas for the title (This leads to the plot of the movie "Two Tickets to Paradise"). It's a hard-fought game, but Marshall edges Texas because of Chase Litton's 278 yds passing and 4 TDs. The true Cinderella team had won it and America was ecstatic. You would think the season ends there, but...
In an experiment by the NFL to boost sales, the NFL champion New England Patriots host Marshall University in Gillette Stadium. The game is rough and many third string players are needed for Marshall, but against all odds, they pull of the upset of the century proving Doc Holiday's recruiting power.
MU is thrown into glory as in the off season, the ACC invites them as a football-only member along with the University of Cincinnati.
Enough of my spot-on predictions for one day.

FAU - They seem to always have our number and they are my pick to be the team to destroy some CUSA teams' hopes this year. I wouldn't be surprised to see them at the top of the CUSA Division standings come November.

FAU-WKU is more a friendly rivaly than say FAU-FIU

Although a lot of us still remember how you blanked us 20-0 in our first game in our new stadium, that kinda stung. Since then weve done okay.

I called out the nerds but instead the crazy ones showed up :)

For sixty minutes, anyway. Then: prepare to be dismissed.

And that's it.
We may be nerds but we'll still kick your a$$.

This post went from great to epic...
I may have to appropriate that last line as a tag.
Well done Owl at the moon!

I want La Tech to be a good rivalry, but the La Tech fans were so nice when I went to Ruston a few years ago. I need to just cuss everyone I see when I go this year. We need some hatred between the schools!

Oh, and the whole double-cancel thing.

I can't express my disappointment when I realized that that game was scheduled for the weekend of my sister's wedding. Seriously... who gets married during football season!?

We really need to get the rivalry going in hoops. I really think it could be very special. I hope with the addition of Mark Price things will start looking up for Charlotte, What a great player he was for Georgia Tech. Cool as a cucumber. A regular assassin.
