Marshall travels very well guys, better than lame o FIU! If ya can't be there, make sure ya get your tickets to someone who WILL come and talk it up. We need 20-25K to start showing these players and Coaches what they are doing is appreciated!Posted On: Oct 29th 2017, 6:35 PM #372460
Good idea - if you can't be at the game and you have season tickets, it is fine if you try to sell them, but if you can't GIVE THEM AWAY as a last resort to try and get people in the stands!
And Marshall has always traveled well. I posted some about my Alma Mater (WCU). Marshall, Appalachian State, and Georgia Southern used to all be in that same FCS conference. Often, those teams would bring pretty close to the same amount of fans as the home team. So we need to get FAU fans in the stadium.

You don't think the margin of victory will be 11?Posted On: Oct 29th 2017, 5:51 PM #372458
The spread is set to try and get bets on both sides to protect the house. This tells me that the oddsmakers definitely think FAU is more than a TD better, but they will inflate the initial spread in a game like this to bring in the money on Marshall and the line ends up at like 7 or 8 (where they really think it belongs and where money starts coming in on the Owls). I was definitely wrong last week, as I thought the Owls would win but it would be close. I haven't really seen Marshall yet, but if they got beat by FIU by 11….

We beat Marshall last year, didn't we?
Sadly this will be the only home game I wont be able to attend this season. I'll be rooting all the way from San Diego.
Go Owls !!!Posted On: Oct 29th 2017, 3:00 PM #372438
We lost to Marshall 27-21 last year. We were up 21-16 at the half but didn't score any after halftime. Still led 21-19 after 3 quarters. The series is 4-0 Marshall. The first game against them was a 1-point affair, the other two were more than 2 TD wins by the Herd.

The line actually opened at 10, they back filled it from 10.5…it is now 10 on one site, 9.5 on another, and 9 on another.
That averages out to 9.5 obviously, so 10 was pretty close to public confidence…

I could be wrong, but I'm expecting this to be a tough game for us.
