I would 100% support an All-Star team of any ULM and LA Tech guys that would want to team up together vs the United States Army.

Make it happen, Northern Louisiana!

The team apparently believes Huff was treated so badly by the Marshall admin they all declared for the portal.

Huff reportedly turned down a new contract a couple of years ago when Marshall beat Notre Dame, and he told the AD last summer that he intended to take interviews for other jobs during the season.

Not sure how they were supposed to treat a guy who clearly didn't want to be there.

That’s just business though. Totally different than when the players leave

It is actually. When a coach leaves before his contract is up the acquiring school typically has to buy out the remainder of that contract in order for the coach to leave.

When a player leaves they go with no penalties and are allowed to start playing immediately.

Bring in Jackson State, winner of the Celebration Bowl. What a joke college football bowls have become.

One is in the middle of his career, the other is going to school to get an education to prepare for a career. They are not the same.

Except for the service academies, FBS football is nothing but a league of mercenaries.

FCS football is more honest.

Marshall was 10-3. They didn’t extend their coach who just won the sunbelt champ ship game. He’s had a great run at Marshall. I think 37-25 record. The coach left Marshall for Southern Miss after the university wouldn't give him a new contract. I don’t blame the players for entering the portal.

The fact that they have been relegated to a bowl game against a 5-7 Marshall team after the season they had is downright criminal, however.


They're a shite team, like always.

Hopefully, they all follow their coach and then Southern Miss can get the call and go into the bowl game with our stellar 1-11 regular season showing.

Air Force is 5-7. A service Academy bowl in an Air Force base town would be awesome.

The portal being open, during the season, is the dumbest shite ever. How’s that?
