A New Lesson For Marshall Football
Earlier this season, I pointed out a lesson for Coach Snyder and now apparently my services are needed again. This time it will be to impart a lesson upon one of the members of the Marshall University running-back group.
This lesson is courtesy of the movie Goodfellas, and this week it is directed to running-back Terrell Edwards-Maye, who started the season off for Marshall against...

Marshall Football Turns The Heat Down
With a win on Saturday night, Mark Snyder successfully turned the heat down but not off. A win over Bowling Green was enough to prove many wrong who were already writing this season off as a failure. The win also quieted the dissent around Huntington and Marshall University's campus, at least for a day or two.

It's game day in Huntington and despite the fact that kick off is just about half a day away, that usually means celebration and excitement. That would be if your team had not just had two below-average weeks after four below-average seasons.

Marshall Football Weekly Report: Week Three
The Thundering Herd got off to an interesting start this season against Southern Illinois and last week with the drubbing at the hands of Virginia Tech. So far based on the narrow escape against the Salukis and the Herd's performance to-date, things are not looking up for Snyder and his team.

Marshall Football: A Lesson to Learn for Head Coach Mark Snyder
In my years of attending college, out of all my classes, one has stuck with me. That class was an American history class. The professor told a story of a United States president in the early years of the republic.
The media had been lambasting the chief executive and his sons decided to take things into their own hands by assaulting the journalists at the capitol. Of course...

Marshall Football's Not So Secret Weapon
In Week One it was all about the passing game for Marshall as the ground game that had been reliable seemed to struggle to get anything going. It was back to the fundamentals for the receiver corps, and the Herd handled it well.
Then again, it was not exactly fundamental for Marshall as Cody Slate was once again a top target getting the most touches for the Herd. Not the least of...

It is hard at times like these to not fall into cliches about excitement over the upcoming season and how great it is to have college football back. It is even harder to refrain from the ever present Marshall football-related cliches.
