Marshall fans, you make the call

The general theme surrounding Marshall football the past two days features anger. There’s been no moping, no mulligrubs (Marshall coach Mark Snyder introduced that word to me on Monday) during two practices since the Thundering Herd’s 42-10 loss at West Virginia. Instead, coaches and players are carrying a chip on their shoulder during workouts after admittedly falling short in a much-hyped rivalry game. Here, however, is the question. With Marshall off to an 0-1 start, what do Thundering Herd fans think of the remainder of the season? Is a winning record and bowl berth realistic? Feel free to respond here.
