  • I saw that.  Who at Marshall pissed him off?  Seemed like a huge slap in the face to me.

    I don't think Randy really thinks out such things...I wouldn't read a lot into it. But it does make it easier for me to figure out who to pull for when they play Indy.

  • Well said Photo...he doesnt think...but if you do think about it, he could be Marshall's Major Harris, working at Sawnee Hills rehab center for 18,000.00 a year. One would think he might recognize that and appreciate Marshall more.

    Then again I DO think he and Chad and others tried to get things done for Marshall in an IPF fund only to have KAYO block them from donating their money the way THEY wanted to...so that too may have fit into the equation.

    Anyone ELSE think we need a new AD before we need a new Coach too?

    I'm READY for a CHANGE at AD and NOW! If we need to spend 200K to get the right AD...lets do it, instead of saving 100K and getting a WVU wanna be!

  • Any truth to the rumor that "Our Problem Now's" contract has been extended another year?  From the middle of '08 to, now, the middle of '09.

  • It makes you wonder.  Especially considering some of the good things he's done for MU in the past few years.

  • He has given shout outs to his high school, junior high, and elementary before. I just think he is goofing around.

    Yeah, you're right. I forget about that.
    Just would be nice if he could console some hurting herd fans when they need it...

  • Alot of the NFL players do this.  They might mention their elementary school or high school or whatever.  It's because most people know what University these guys attended.

    This wasn't a slap in the face.  Not a big deal.

    Agreed ... I would rather that he say Marshall ... But, I've heard several of these guys say their hometown or High School in lieu of thier college.

    Not a big deal ... He just fronted a lot of money to start a scholarship at MU in the name of the '96 National Championship team ...

    It's not a big deal.

    I agree.  It would have been nice to hear Marshall, but I think anyone who watches pro football knows Randy Moss went to Marshall.  At least he still recognizes his hometown.  I'm still waiting for him to say "IntaJuice U" one day.

    Exactly. The vast majority of times Randy gives Marshall a shout out. But he, like quite a few other NFL players, give other shout outs to various other schools they attended or the hometown they came from.

  • When you are the team that gave him pretty much his last chance to play football, why should you be entitled to a little pub.  It's always been about Randy and Randy only.  He is not very appreciative of what Marshall did for him.  Screw him.

    There were at least 5 of the players who named their HS or town........... lighten up.
