Not only is the athletic program on the rise, so is the whole university. More than $150 million in physical improvements and expansion have taken place in the 1990 s. In addition, a 30,000-seat, state-of- the-art MU Football Stadium has been constructed so that the capacity can be expanded to 55,000. It features a modern scoreboard which stands 37 feet high and measures 54 feet long replete with video display capabilities.<br>One question I had to ask. Why the Thundering Herd? I thought buffalo roamed the great western plains not the hills of West Virginia. 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 Benin which is just northwest of Nigeria in Africa.  My dad is fluent in four languages, says Paul proudly. <br>Paul 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 majoring 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 isaskets when his mother fashioned a hoop by cutting the metal rim off a water barrel.</P> <P align=left><STRONG>1:</STRONG> First year at Louisiana Tech spent pulling his grades up to get eligible.</P> <P align=left><STRONG>1,000:</STRONG> Times he repented for his grades before he became a good student at college.</P> <P align=left><STRONG>15:</STRONG> Hours worked per day loading hay as a boy.</P> <P align=left><STRONG>10:</STRONG> Cents a bale he got for loading hay.</P> <P align=left><STRONG>$20:</STRONG> What he earned per day loading it.</P> <P align=left><STRONG>365:</STRONG> Days per year Karl would like to hunt, fish, play with his family, ride his Harley, drive
