Marshall @ Memphis Tuesday game

Okay, but how many times has a teammate died on a team and the team got their ass kicked by an inferiorly talented team.

I can't even name any.

The Bo situation was different. No one on the Mich team even knew Bo.

Three better examples:

1. Northwestern played for Randy Walker last year and killed Miami of Ohio.
2. Miami played for its fallen player last year and covered against Maryland.
3. Rice (I think) played for its fallen teammate, and won and covered.

Also, last season, on Miami's 1st home game since Pata was killed, we beat down on BC.

LOL so either way you're right. I like that.

Thats the way it always is Walter.

I strongly disagree Walter. Emotion games go in favor of the other team. Remember the Ohio State Michigan game last year? Michigan was playing for Bo but still could not win.

This will be Memphis 3rd game in 11 days. They are tired, burned out and at a loss over a killed teamate. Not to mention Memphis blew a huge lead to Arkansas State last week.

I love Marshall in this game, New Hampshire is a good FCS team. Marshall has the offense to hang with Memphis. I think Memphis is tried, in mourning and at lowest point they have been in years. Marshall might blow them out.

I hope Memphis loses this game just so I can prove to everyone that emotional crap that doesn't have anything to do with the game is so overrated in football.

If they win big it is because they are that much better than Marshall, not because of a tragic loss.

what I hear he was a big time gambler (I guess he had $10K on him when he was found dead) who took teammates along on gambling sprees to casinos, he through big beer bashes etc. He was not some quiet member of the team that the players just played with. He was a friend to a lot of these guys and well known

My pick is up.

October Pick of the Month for college football. Hopefully it fares better than my September NFL POM LOL

[SanchezMVP2009]

It's just that I have a feeling that Memphis will win the game

[Matt McGuire]

Like I said all this emotional BS is overrated. If anything they will be unfocused.

Marshall ftw.

[SanchezMVP2009]

I take Memphis for 2 reasons

1:They will play their hardest for fallen teammate Bradford
2:Marshall lost to New Hampsire.

[Walter]

Pass.

I know nothing about these crappy teams. I'm not going to flip a coin.
