Here's Landon's article...

HUNTINGTON -- What was TyQuane Goard thinking as his Ohio Bobcat teammates were winning NCAA tournament game after tournament game on a magical run to last year's Sweet 16? Was he wishing he was there on John Groce's squad wearing the Green and White of Ohio?

Nope.

Sure, the former George Washington HS forward was thinking about green and white. But he was thinking about Herd green and white.

Yep. You guessed it. Marshall.

Goard bolted from his team prior to the MAC tournament because he couldn't forget his dreams. Not MAC dreams. But Conference USA dreams. Methinks the same dreams Marshall had when it left for the superior Conference USA years ago.

Why would Goard go out on a limb, you ask? Even though Marshall had no scholarships for him at the time,  and he might have ended up at basketball outposts such as Delaware or Blinn JC?

Good dreams are hard to stop.


I should be reading this as tongue-in-cheek, right? Because if he's serious, my god.

My guess is that some Marshall folk are bent out of shape that OU can have the success that Marshall wants, while still playing in the MAC.

Good fluff and spin. I never got much of a direction in my talks with him. GOals? hmmm that would require thinking ahead more than the next tweet. It s a good yarn though ....happy spinning

Cmon that was my Landon impersonation. I guess it was too good, haha.

How to write a column, by C. Landon:
1. Ask yourself questions, and then answer them with very short para-sentences. Check.
2. Use "methinks" at least once, preferably in first few graphs. Check.
3. Trash MAC while hyping CUSA. Check.
4. Feed the little green Herd trolls with ridiculous Marshall propaganda. Check.

Chuck Landon getting it ready as we speak.  Saying that Ohio and the MAC is too small time and that he wanted a piece of bigger action at Marshall.


I hate to pat myself on the back, but I called this even before Landon wrote his crap.  He's a blockhead.

Perhaps, I'm misreading this thread, but I thought that Mike was saying that this wasn't Churck's actual writing but was Mike's parody of a Landon column.   Did I miss something here?

Joey Votto says that his time off with the injury has humbled him.

Now I've been humbled twice within the past week on bobcatattack.com

Yes, I'm the blockhead, not Chuck.

First, it was the 1/8 scholarship; now, I didn't pick up on the Coleman satirical piece.

Great work, Mike.  It was so authentic that I thought it was real.

Ross has standards at Delaware...from what I heard Goard was not on board with those and the staff felt he was better off elsewhere. All the talk of Goard coming to Delaware was from Goard..nothing ever from the staff or school. 

It appears Marshall is more in line with Goard and his idea ofof what a college hoop player should be like.

No, but OCF and Chuck have been in times past, though Chuck might not admit it publicly!
