It's true, Marshall made season tickets a requirement for the WVU game ticket. Guess what it worked, a marketing genius. WVU fans afraid that the alottment for their school would not be enough, bought the season tickets and if you recall the requirement not only was for 2007 season tickets but you had to be a season ticket holder in 2006 as well to be guaranteed your seat. I travel to every MU game I can from my home in Columbus, religiously, and yes, Mark Snyder is having a tough time now. MU fans have way more class than WVU fans. the disrespect that the Mountaineer fans showed while in Huntington was disgraceful. I am an avid MU fan and as such I also follow and respect the Mountaineers, watch their games on TV, root for their basketball team in the NCAA. West Virginians need to take pride in both of their schools. I cannot figure out why WVU fans cannot be more like NASCAR fans. It is a fun rivalry. 43 teams everyone ribs each other but politely parties and respects each other.

who cares how many players make the NFL, I would rather have one national championship that 50 pleayers make the NFL, and Pennington hasn't done crap in the NFL

How many wvu thugs played in the super bowl this year? Now how many Marshall players did? 5 or 6. I believe there are more MU players in the NFL then wvu, and have been for over a decade.

Its WVU Alum Marc Bulger that is the all pro quarterback, not Pennington. Not to trash Pennington, but WVU clearly has more pro players than Marshall and always has. 2 players does not an NFL dynasty make.

And as for travel, WVU takes thousands of fans to every regional away game - Louisville, Cincinnati, Maryland, Pitt. WVU fans were at Marshall in droves too and will be as long as the series continues. It's close, the tickets were cheap and available, and WVU fans follow their team. But that speaks as much about Marshall's lack of ability to fill its own stadium as it does WVU's excitement over the game.

Finally, WVU has Fairweather Fans? MU can't sell season tickets when the price is only $88. Guess no one jumps on the band wagon when you're down, huh? But I truly wish MU luck. It's not very much fun to have a "rivalry" with a team that has fallen on such hard times. As such, the state of the Coal Bowl is in your hands. It will only be fun if you improve.
