Just a little football tidbit.

Marshall University has played WVU nine times over the last 100 years. They have lost all of those games.

I just did some math, and thought it was a fun fact. Since 1911, West Virginia has outscored Marshall 393-85.

Yikes.

In 1915. WVU beat Marshall 92-0 in Huntington.

I heard a lot of people ragging on WVU about not selling out the statium for the Marshall game, even though almost every other game is a sellout regardless of opponent.

I think that stat should shut them up. It's a major program vs. an underdeveloped program, that hasn't been prominent against this particular team.

It's also just flat not fun to watch sometimes. It's just another W on the scorecard, and that's too bad. If Marshall had more offensive weapons, they might have pulled it out this year. But the fact is, they didn't, they haven't, and they probably won't.

Fact of life.
