Marshall stealing Country Roads?
Marshall and their fans shouldn’t even be allowed to play the song, or practice it, or listen to it . Did John Denver go to Huntington High School and play “Country Roads” at the dedication of that field (can’t really call it a stadium…)?? NO!!!! “Country Roads” belongs to WVU and the Pride does it better than ANYONE ELSE EVER WILL (except for John Denver of course).
I heard Marshall’s band play their own “special” arrangement of John Denver’s golden tune. It sucked. It was an upbeat, jazz/rock version of the tune. It was nothing short of TERRIBLE. They didn’t play it at the football game last year, and that was a good decision. They would’ve gotten murdered by our fans. Hopefully, since we’re taking away any type of home field advantage they have, they’ll make the same smart choice.
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I am sick and tired of Marshall trying to be West Virginia University. No matter what WVU does, Marshall tries to copy..then tries to claim that they actually had the idea first which is always a bunch of shit..just like the Marshall Maniacs thing..they claim that they had this group before WVU. While it might be true that a group name this existed before WVU’s student section was named this….there wasn’t a “Marshall Maniacs” student section until this year. When Marshall can’t justify something, they just rewrite history the way they want it to read.
I don’t want to hear their crappy band butcher such a classic song. They wouldn’t even be playing it if WVU didn’t play it. Besides it’s not like trying to copy WVU is going to make people forget that you suck a big ass.
High 5’s all around my SEC Homers!!!

“When Marshall can’t justify something, they just rewrite history the way they want it to read.”
Kinda like those National Championships they have won. How many does WVU have?
i think that this an excellent post. D1-AA NCs don’t count
I’m beggining to wonder…
Is it that all WV chicks look like mongoloids…
Or just the ones that Angry knows…
Stop singing my sock, all of you
How many championships (1A or 1AA) does WVU have.
WVU’s NC dreams go down faster than John Denver’s plane when they play “power houses” like USF.
I think that WVU has a NC in Air Rifles. I am not kidding.
can’t you find a better song to fight over???
TBST:
I’ll take a crack at it…
Zero?
High 5’s all-around made this post
Gerry’s right – “can’t you find a better song to fight over???”
Who cares? They’re both in West Virginia and the song is about the state, not the schools.
Kinda like “Rocky Top”. The song is about the state of Tennessee, not the University of Tennessee. So if Vanderbilt’s band wants to play it, they have every right to…………………
BAM! Gatorhippy’s got it!
They can’t even claim a half a national championship or a “people’s championship.” Even the Barn can claim that!
Click Clack on your country roads bitches!
If bama can clain dunkels and thesaurous NCs, then wingnut can claim the opelika elementry nc
“If a laundry mat in Tuscaloosa could declare us national champions and we would claim it.” Bahr Bryant
Too bad they don’t have washers and dryers in Morgantown
dunking and thesaurus ncs, classic bammeroid stuff. Speaking of bammeroids, is this a new word for them?
The chick (at least I think it’s a chick) on the far end (behind the black haired pug looking one) has way too much face fat.
yeah music is music. I hate jerks like Angry ‘Eer. As bad as those weirdos up in Columbia, MO freakin’ out when another band plays “Hey Baby”. Every Band in the Whole Country plays it.
“It’s so Green in Morgantown… That’s the color of MARSHALL… Let us Burn all the Trees in Morgantown and Erect Gold and Blue Statues in their Place!”
What is “Hey Baby”???
the chick on the left looks naughty…
Whoa…
Hold the phone…
The two on the right are WOMEN?
It’s a song a lot of college bands play… Sorry I was ranting from my college band days. (you can laugh, but I got in free with away trips to 14 football games, SEC Basketball Tournament, 1st round NCAA tourney)
Long story, but we’re there for a volleyball tournament (Volleyball chicks are hot and you get paid) and we are just getting the crap beat out of us by the Mizzou Volleyball team, and it’s our turn to play, and we start playing “Hey Baby” (you may recognize it from the movie Dirty Dancing ‘Hey, Hey Baby! I wanna know, If you’ll be my girl’) They seriously had like 1000 people in their old basketball arena just to watch some girls volleyball and they were all booing and the student section was throwing crap at us. It was ridiculous.
The chick on the left looks sloppy.
who was on the phone? Gunsville PD??
Jai, if by naughty you mean gettin’ liquored up and ready to bang the entire Pike house after the game…
Then, yes…
And why isn’t the chick in the middle wearin’ a shirt?
I wouldn’t think that all that yellow paint would qualify as pasties…
Maybe there are pasties underneath that gang symbol she’s throwing up… Oh it spells something
V….D.. I think.
why would you wanna remember talking to these chicks?
Especially the two WVU track & field shotputters on the right…
you gators are ruthless
damn, more skanky wvu bitches. please stop posting pictures. thanks.
you have got to be kidding me, marshall will always be our little bitch and they should never EVER think they will be WVU.
We are Marshall.. Paaalleeeze, get over it.
That one yellow guy clearly has cirrhosis of the liver.
Of course, if I had anything to do with West Virginia (state or school), I’d be a candidate for a liver transplant, too.
Boochie

No different than UTC nee’ Chattanooga U. stealing Rocky Top.
hey i think wvu will make it this year too damn bad they will choke in the end!!1
HEY TACO BELL…MARSHALL MAY HAVE ‘CHAMPIONSHIPS’ BUT THEY STILL CAN’T BEAT WVU FOOTBALL, SO THEY DON’T SEEM TO COUNT FOR MUCH IN MY OPINION. I WOULD RATHER BE AN ‘EER AND KNOW WE PLAY THE BEST AND LOSE THAN PLAY THE WORST AND WIN. IT MAKES FOR BETTER GAMES, FANS, SCHOOL…EVERYTHING.
Fuck yes!!! them Turds are our bitches.
HIGH FUCKIN 5
Play the best and lose, huh? Like USF…
High fucking 5 Big East homers
My EERS spanked some serious ass. The polls will love us to death
“My EERS spanked some serious ass. The polls will love us to death”
Gee Miami was able to hold them to three points…oh wait they have a defense…never mind.
Ok, never mind
Thug U didn’t have to play at Marshall. There is that tremendous homefield advantage at Marshall; the smell and smoke of burning couches and meth labs.
If people only would know what they were talking about, before they spoke… things like this wouldn’t happen. Marshall didn’t do their special arrangement of country roads. Their band does it every game. They didn’t do it to diss WVU or anything like that. Get over it. Secondly, If one of those 300 times you’re singing country roads on your way to a WVU game, just stop for a moment… and listen to the words of the song. Everything John Denver talks about in that song… listen to it all… because NONE OF IT…. is in WEST VIRGINIA. It’s all located… in WESTERN VIRGINIA…… So go on thinking that a man actually wrote a song about this fucked up state, and get over it. And for All the WVU fans who were shitting their selves for half of the game @ Marshall… Because Marshall dominated your non-defense having football team. And then at the end of the game…. all the WVU Fans talking about how Marshall was a High School football team, all your saying is your big bad #3 ranked team in the nation got knocked down a notch in the poles, because of a High School team.. can’t wait for the Louisville game. If WVU can’t stop Marshall’s passing attack…. it doesn’t stand a chance against Louisville.
In fairness to West Virginia, Louisville’s defense isn’t much better, or maybe worse. Middle Tennessee State isn’t exactly an offensive juggernaut.
well it all stems from the 3-3-5 being terrible. Look what almost happened to Texas A&M this weekend. Don’t be surprised if Coach Fran fires his DC and gets someone in to put in a fuckin’ 4-3!
at least all of marshalls band members have mouthpieces on their instruments… and no grannys in our band!!!! sorry buds!!!
but we have talent and its our song too bitches!
If you don’t consider Marshall a rival, stop talking crap about them. Let them be. Country roads is one of West Virginia’s (the state) unofficial state songs, Marshall is just as much located within the state as WVU so they have just as much of a right to play it was the WVU marching band does.
If WVU wasn’t in one of the shittiest BCS conferences in the country they wouldn’t be in the position they are. Put them in the SEC or Big 12 and they would be eaten alive.
Oh yeah, if WVU would have been brave enough to play Marshall between 1999 and 2003, Marshall would have kicked their asses.
