I know what would attract people to want to be in Huntington.  Eliminate the needle exchange program in Huntington.  Get the homeless off the streets.  Huntington has become filled with zombies!  Maybe invest in tearing down crumbling infrastructure and rebuilding Huntington.  Work on getting more high paying jobs in Huntington.  Offer some type of reason to want to live in Huntington.  Upgrade river access!  We can never be an Ocean front travel destination, but we can be a sweat, clean, safe, updated little city that welcomes our guests!  The city of Huntington by nature brings the Marshall brand down.  The way the city is now if i was an apposing fan of Marshall's i would have no reason to ever want to visit Huntington.  Politicians policies have made H-Town a $hit Hol!  I moved my kid into an apartment 2 years ago, and i was astonished at how bad it had gotten.  I asked my son if he was sure he wanted to go to MU as i watched crackheads rummage through his dumpster less than a block away from the MU campus.  Not a day goes by where i don't worry about his safety.  Making Huntington nice again would go a long way in taking Marshall to the next level.  If i was not a MU Grad I would have never let my son go to Marshall.  How many outsiders would let their kids go to MU after seeing this dumpster fire called Huntington.  Huntington has one thing going for it.  That would be the good hearted' people that still pull over and help strangers broken down on the side of the road.  What is remaining of our good natured popularization is all we have left.  It doesn't seem that the people running Huntington have the best interest of Huntington at the forefront of their decision making!  Sorry if you don't like the facts.  It needs to be said!  No one wants to come to Marshall because Huntington is a $hit hole!

Tough charts for the "we don't have resources" crowd. 

That narrative is pushed by loser AD types to cover their (@/:;.

Marshall has excellent facilities.  No excuse for losing.  Recruit better.
