The Boise game is #1 on my list and it's not even close. They're ranked in the top 15 and legitimately deserve to be. Beating them would make us a headline on Sportscenter and would likely result in starting to receive top 25 votes (if we beat Marshall, first, of course).

My #1 goal for this program is always to be talked about in or around the top 25. Do that and the MAC titles will come. Simply dominating a weak MAC is not enough for me. I want to be the next Boise/Utah program, and you don't do that until you can beat them.

Bingo. I have absolutely no respect for anyone associated with that program after seeing that. That was one of the dirtiest things I have ever seen in sports.
Can someone please fill me in on what is being referred to here?

I'd love to beat Boise. But I really want a MAC Championship.
Can't we have Both.

Really I want to make our turf ORANGE and then wear our pumpkin uniforms and see how THEY like it!

And you DO NOT want to see what happened to Corn. Oh my.
ROLL ALONG!

Are you referring to the injured player the last time we played up there. When while the medical staff was with him, a few Bowling Green fans began to fight with the mother and sister and girlfriend of one of our players, causing our players to then turn and begin to get into a verbal confrontation with your fans...

We were beating Marshall by about 4 scores late in the 2004 game. They recovered a fumble and during the (minimal) return, McGrady was standing 10-20 yards away from the play, arms to his sides and some spineless douchebag earholed him.

I thought our people were just trying to protect their food.

Actually, I believe it was right before halftime that this happened. I remember looking right at Corn for some reason as it happened (it was well away from the ball), and it was a blatant attempt by whichever Marshall piece of crap it was to hurt him. He was blindsided so hard that he actually flipped over and landed on his head - which is why they had to bring the ambulance out onto the field. I think everyone in the stadium thought he had broken his neck, and it was dead silent until some classy Marshal fans started antagonizing ours.

God, I really do hate that whole school. Not even Toledo hate. Like, hate hate.

I guess it was before halftime, so the game wasn't nearly as out of hand as I remember (at that point).

Marshall 2004, one of my favorite games of all time, except for Corn McGrady getting hit. My favorite pick of the game was Teddy Piepkow's in the fourth Quarter right in front of me. He had one defender in front of him and I thought he was going to take it all the way in. I spoke with him later and he said he was absolutely gassed and didn't think he could run that far.

Your favorite was the 2005 Marshall game huh...interesting..seeing as how you didnt play us in 2005...

And in regards to what happened while your player was down.

That was all on the shoulders of your fans on the visiting side of the field talking smack to FEMALE relatives of two of our players.

I was right there, saw it all.

Trust me, the hate is mutual from me.

brandon was a little off when he said it was a clean hit... borderline at best, unnecessary to the fullest...

What's really sad is that the "mother, sister and girlfriend" was one person....but that's how you roll in WV, right?
