In 2016..

Also led program to it's only 10 win season (7 conference wins) in big 12 play.
None of that is mediocre.
Today was something. On the left side of the fench were students talking major inappropriate shit to some elderly Iowa state fans. The guys on the right were locals taking up for said Iowa state fans. It was quite embarrassing.
In the 2005 SEC Championship Game, D.J. Shockley led

to a victory over LSU in Atlanta.
The Bulldogs and Tigers meet again on Saturday for another title showdown.
In the midst of all this uncertainty, last night at Walmart I came across the GOAT. I thanked him for all he'd done for WVU football & told him he was the best. 21 years guiding the 'Eers, 149 wins, 2 chances at national titles, 80 NFL players, +much more. Build the statue.
Repeating for the doubters..
Huggins found this young man.
No other D1 offers.

Played 4 amazing years at WVU.
2x Defensive Player of the Year
Got better ever year.
Drafted to the NBA.
And this is why you should never tweet negativity to college players. “I wanted to disappear after that game.” Can’t be sure but that sounds like some pretty dark thoughts. We get sad when our team doesn’t perform the way we’d like but imagine being the kid that misses 2 FGs..
I can't remember this guy's name but I've met him once back around 2009. From what I remember he was on the roster and that's his actual helmet from when Bowden & Co helped Marshall get back on it's feet.
@BigGameBoomer
WVU is only 3 years older than WAZZU yet has..
203 more wins.
21 more bowl games.
8 more bowl wins.
141 more weeks ranked.
WVU was also an IND for 60ish years while Wazzu was only IND for 20ish years.
WVU still has 11 more conf titles.
Good day.
26 years being cognizant of WVU football.. This isn’t new. We’re in a down cycle but we’ll be back. Maybe even before this seasons over. Just know, I love you all and wouldnt wanna be on this journey with any other team or fan base!

It’s time for WVU to make a NEW name for itself. It’s time to sit at the big boy table. It’s time to take our place where we all thought we belonged from jump street. It’s been building for 6 years. It’s time.. LET’S GO!

I know weather's a bitch but we gotta do better especially for a winning, ranked team.
"In 2000 WVU linebacker Grant Wiley intercepted a pass against Boston College QB Tim Hasselbeck and returned it for a TD to clinch the win for WVU. I took these photos of Grant Wiley's interception return and Tim Hasselbeck's reaction."

"Respect my decision." Is the weirdest thing to me. Like, what is there to respect? You gave your word. A commitment. Then you took it back. I mean, life happens & coaches do it too. But, as a fan of this program for 30+ years, my respect is earned by downs played and coached.
Love this man. Gave us an awesome few seasons at WVU, was a freak at the combine went 1st rd & gave us amazing publicity, gave back to the program with a nice donation, continues to produce in the NFL 12 seasons in repping the FLYING WV all the way! Thank you

Marshall played 1 P5, 2 FCSers & lost 4 games to G5 teams in '22
WVU beat 4 P5s in it's worst season since '13.
Marshall's beaten 4 P5 teams in 13 years ('10 LOU, '13 UMd, '15 Pur, '22 ND).

*2022 no home games sold out. Attendance didn't exceed 52,188.
Weird seeing all the Dana hate. Outside of '13 & '15 he always had us competitive. Brought us the Orange Bowl trophy and two 10 win seasons. Did I want more? Yes but it wasn't the worst HC run in school history.
Nothing like owning everyone w/ facts about final 4 appearances then accompanying those facts w/ a pic of a program that hasn't reached the final 4 since 1941.
ACC has produced more Final Four teams (3) than the Big Ten, SEC, Big 12 and Pac-12 have combined (1) over the last two NCAA Tournaments.
Can we not put teams like Pitt with 14 ACC wins on the bubble next season because of nonsensical analytics?
The ACC is a premier league.
We lean toward IowaState as the closest thing to a conf rival but it should be Texas Tech. Dana coached there, came here & won a good bit, they ruined our 2012 season, OC'd by Neal Brown, Mahomes never beat us, Brown's never beaten them and..
JOHN DENVER!
