HUNTINGTON — Before the season started, one could imagine Western Michigan’s victory over Marshall at Joan C. Edwards Stadium.
OK, so not to the 60-6 degree it went down Saturday night, mind you, but it wasn’t difficult to imagine. The Hilltoppers were projected as an upper-level Conference USA team. So, too, was MU.
What one couldn’t have imagined, however, is Marshall’s season.
Nine and three, yes. That sounded about right. But 3-9? As Bugs Bunny would have said: Stop it, Doc, you’re killin’ me. After 33 wins in the last three seasons? After the way MU coach Doc Holliday had his program steaming down the tracks?
