They are so much safer, and they help protect the floor. We just put a new floor in the weightroom and we want to preserve it. It s awesome. <br>With his coaching success established, Gouse faces the possibility of moving to a bigger school but says he finds it difficult to leave.  I have a daughter who is in the 8th grade and she wants her dad to coach her in high school. In one sense I would like to move on, but I m happy where I m at. I m a hometown guy. .<br>One question I had to ask. Why the Thundering Herd? I thought buffalo roamed the great western plains not the hills of West Virinia. I was wrong. Apparently, way back, there were buffalo. The  Thundering Herd of buffalo provided the natives with nearly every substance needed for human survival. The name was actually taken from the title of one of Zane Gray s Old West novels and has been used by Marshall since 1919.<br>Two players represent the buffalo s survival attributes. Paul Toviessi and Doug Hodges are an inspiration and they may help any reader have a desire to do a little better:<br>Paul is a first generation American. His parents came from the French speaking country of Beninwhich is just northwest of Nigeria in Africa.  My dad is fluent in four languages, says Paul proudly. <br>Pau grew up in Alexandria, Virginia where he played three sports at West Potomac High School. He played football, basketball and was on the track team. Paul made the All-State team as a tight end and defensive end. As a senior, he was 6-6 and 215 pounds. Paul started to lift seriously as a 9th grader and by his senior year achieved the following marks: Bench-280, Squat-350, Dead Lift-315, 40-  at least a 4.4 or 4.5. Now, at age 22, Paul can Bench 385, Squat 490, Hang Clean 319 and Vertical Jump 35 inches. He is ajoring in Sports Management and Marketing and will graduate this summer. <br>Paul came to Marshall to play football with his best friend John Cooper. It turned out to be a great decision.  We win so much that we expect it now, says Paul.  It s a good feeling to win all the time. Paul made first team All-MAC and was named Player-of-the-Week several times at his defensive end position. At 6-7 265 with his speed and quickness, Paul is a force that is hard to handle.  But I m not big on awards, asserted Paul.  The team is more important.<br> I believe the secret of our success is that the coaches recruit wel. We give a lot of athletes a chance. Some of my teammates come from poverty or a poor background. Marshall provides an opportunity to grow up and mature. I started out not going to class but then I changed. I had reconstructive knee surgery because of an injury during the second game of the 1998 season. I thought,  Man, I m only one play away from never playing again. It made me realize that I had better go to class, get my grades and graduate. I know now that I m not invincible . . . no one is. <br>Paul has developed some strong convictions as a result of his experiences at Marshall.  Give it all you got in the classroom, advises Paul.  Anything you put your name on make sure it s quality. If you make a mistake, people will judge you on that. Find a role model. Mine is my dad. I have the utmost respect for him. He came to this country when he was 15 in poverty and no education. I have four sisters. One died but the other three have graduated from college or will graduate.<br> My family is the most important thing in my life. I like to surround myself with p
