I was going to go over to the MAC board and comment about what a great thread this was, but I decided to steal and re-post it instead. BTW one of my best friends here in Atlanta went and played at Toledo, we call and text each other whenever The Rockets or The Herd are on TV. I personally have noting but respect for Toledo, back in the day It seemed like it always came down to Marshall vs Toledo.

I see FIU as a hated team almost as much as Marshall...

a very quick glance, out of 30 post, 20 wasn't about hating any CUSA team. So I think your proof is a fail

FIU got some "love" too, not sure why and WKU even showed up once.

You know being hated is not always a bad thing in sports. Are there any more hated or reviled teams in MLB than Yankees, in the NFL than Patriots, Steelers, Cowboys, in College Football than Alabama, Michigan, Ohio State, or in College Basketball than Duke, Kentucky, UCLA?
Hate and Envy are very closely related and what all of those teams have in common are they dominated and/or strung together some dang impressive winning streaks and Championships. Quit complaining Marshall. Those naysayers are probably just envious of your accomplishments.

bammer has also committed known and verifiable acts of evil. I direct you to the afternoon of December 2nd, 2014.

We are taught to hate evil.

Therefore, hating bammer is a righteous act.

All true.

Who's complaining? Not me.

No one hates UCLA basketball any more. That's like hating Yale football.

I'm not complaining I take it as a badge of honor.

I'd think you Blazers would hate Paul Bryant, Jr. and his henchmen even more than the Tide. Of course, that's kinda like hating Lee Harvey Oswald or James Earl Ray. Folks who kill dreams do have a special place in Hell. So, I'll concede that Alabama deserves a whole different kind of hate when it comes to UAB.

The MAC's hatred of Marshall is only rivaled by the Sun Belt's hatred of Tech.

Yeah, the MAC hates us with respect. We're the team they spent the better part of a decade wanting to beat. Few did it at all, and none did it often, till the last couple years in that conference when things started to go to crap.

Toledo was the only team that beat us with any consistency and I regret that we never beat them in Toledo, but they did beat us in Huntington, once. That damn CCG where we went up like 23-0 and they came back and beat us by 20 really sucked.

With respect, MUther, we lost the 2001 MACC game 41-36. In 2000 we got blown the eff out at Toledo 42-0.

Yeah, 2001 was the game. I didn't remember the score, I just know we had them beat and then we didn't. I remember being in Toledo, but not much more than that. I believe the score was 23-0 at half, or at least before they started scoring (might have been before halftime).

The 2000 42-0 thing was Byron's first year, so no biggie. WMU ended up taking the west and after they beat us regular season we beat them in the CCG again in Huntington. They threw such a fit that we won the MAC and were going bowling (back when there was only one bowl) with 7-5?? record that the CCG became alternated between East and West from then on instead of always bid in Huntington, lol.

PS that 2000 loss to Ohio was the coldest feeling game I've ever attended. Was standing on the field for that game and it was bitter and we were losing. But backdooring the East to get into the CCG and then stealing the MAC's only bowl made it warm again, lol.

The MAC was good for MU, nothing but respect for the conference. Especially Toledo, class act and tough as anyone yr. in, yr. out. Miami(OH) was the rivalry game, but also tough as nails when MU were in there. I think both helped each other in the long run, again, nothing but respect for the MAC teams/cities.

Toledo always has good football teams, good program. The MAC helped us and I think we helped the MAC. For some reason Ohio fans hate us the most, not sure why. Maybe its because they haven't won a MAC football crown since the late 60's?

They had it pretty bad when we were there. If we didn't beat them, Miami did. They couldn't win the east either way to make the game.

I mean ULM and UL hate yall for obvious reasons, but I don't think any of the rest of us really do. I wish we could get a series with yall. Our game in 12 was amazing!
