Marlin got to save all the money he can for that new RV.Quote:

Sadly this will be the norm in college athletics now. If we get a good basketball player that blossoms now into a star we will probably lose him to a bigger school, translation, NIL deal. Just ask the folks at Arkansas St. about that. Don't know if that is happening with Theo but I thought Theo was going to leave regardless whether transferring or playing professionally somewhere.
GAST seems to be doing just fineQuote:

GAST started four super seniors if I remember correctly.
But I though we retained Big Fish because without him basketball would be starting over from. Square 1.Quote:

Going to annoy me that our longest TD run by a RB is held by someone that did not want to be here.
Records are made to be broken.Quote:

You and many others that I have spoken to around town have said the same thing. I still follow the team and watch the games as a fan, but it's hard to get "excited" about the upcoming season.Quote:

That is what the Marlin Mafia does. Or as MAT says the social club.Quote:

I agree this program has potential, just like our football team had/has. And I'm sure every college fan across the nation feels the same way we do about their university. But until our administration staff decides to show they are truly concerned, then why should we the fans?
Again, I haven't missed a game on the radio, but they won't see my $$$ until they make the move. I wish Marlin well, but it's time for him to move on.
On a side note, ran into a past great 3 weeks ago who played for Marlin. Even he is ready for a change.
I know that but it falls on Maggard. In the end it’s his career and name that take the hit.Quote:
