Besides KJ loving the young man it is not every day that someone becomes the NCAA all-time leader in anything. Maybe the NCAA leader like Jarret was coming into the year, but all time seldom!!! So, while a bit premature I hope (and he should eclipse the record) when he becomes the all-time leader I will for one chant his name as in Carl-ton! I know it is not organic but not as a cut on all the other great seniors but that is pretty impressive. It should happen sometime in the ULM game if he is healthy. Perhaps Grant that is on here will help with some of the students getting it started. Just a little tribute to one of KJ's favorite people and one of Troy University's as well. Besides his parents will be really proud to hear it. Just spit ballin the idea a week early.

I don’t know about you, but I’m thinking… he had 18 against Marshall, how many could he have against a team that runs the ball 95 percent of the time? Might happen against Army in front of a sold out house!

Would be fantastic to pull him chanting his name

Exactly how far is he away from breaking the record?

How about we chant his number? Similar to when the band used to chant "you" at the football team after a win? I can picture the Vet with every voice chanting "Two! Two! Two! Two!" You throw in another syllable, we're likely to sound like we're speaking in tongues.

I’m very excited for Mr. Martial. This is an amazing journey.

Or how about we chant, "He is...Martial!" when he breaks the record?? Celebrate and poke at an East division foe at the same time?

I do think we should decide from this board so it can be seeded throughout the stands. Not sure two will be known fast. Most crowds can pick up pretty fast name. The we are Martial is (I am going to say it) a cheer that has been associated with a tragic accident that belongs as far as I am concerned to Marshall. Maybe it is over call but I prefer to respect the chant for them and them alone. Sorry just how I feel about appropriating that particular cheer. Nothing wrong with thinking about it but I hope we don’t choose that one. Mar-tial is fine too just not the we are part.

I have read on the Belt board that some at Marshall itself wishes they would move on and not have Marshall known by remembering that event. I understand that sentiment but I am afraid the School to some extent and the We are Marshall chant will be attached to the pride in overcoming such a tragedy. In 1970 Wichita State had a crash in Colorado killing most on the flight. Not the end of football there but soon after it never recovered. I am old but I do believe that long lasting respect is due. Again, I know no harm was intended and it has a clever side to it but ….

Does anyone know if the NCAA will asterisk the record if he breaks it due to him doing it in five years which has never happened before. Luke Kueckley's record was over three years. Don't want to take anything away from Carlton but I am curious if there will be a asterisk by the NCAA over the extra covid year or does it matter. Still a huge accomplishment for a great young man and great Trojan

Still a huge accomplishment for a great young man and great Trojan CFB changes from year to year and there are so many variables between now and then. I say just enter it in. If anyone wants to get picky, I would say number of games would be more representative than years.

Again, I know no harm was intended and it has a clever side to it but …. If I had to venture a guess, I'd say most of the Marshall folks wanting to move on from that cry are under the age of 50. They don't remember the the crash. They didn't live with the survivors guilt. They didn't struggle with the team as it rebuilt. Heck, I bet most of them don'e even remember Byron Leftwich being carried down the field by his O Linemen as he finish leading them to a comeback win on a broken leg. Marshall is now our conference mate and foe. I want to beat them every time we play them, but other that "The school we love", there is no program in college football I respect more than The Herd. Maybe I'm old, maybe I'm just sentimental, maybe I'm soft, but I'm with Buzz on this one. "We Are Marshall" belongs to them and should never be directed.

I'm fine with Two. Easy for everybody. I'll tell the young scholars at our active chapter. Perhaps they'll help spread it around the student body.
As far as an asterisks, IMO it's like all that nonsense about Aaron Judge. You can't expect people to respect these unwritten rules. The record is a career record, Carlton will break it over the course of his career. End of story for me.

We have been watching Carlton for years and we know what he’s done. I think it’s telling that the record he’s chasing is currently held by Like Kuekly, one of the best linebackers in NFL history. This isn’t some random record that has little impact on the game. The man deserves a chance to play on Sundays.

It needs to remain simple. The moment can be great. Someone on here said a tutorial. On the big screen, whatever the chant is be it: Two, or Carl-ton, or Mar-tial. Remember his parents will want to tape the moment as will SBC league and probably ESPN. Simple, loud and proud for a truly remarkable guy on and off the field.
Again, I know it won't be organic like Rudy, but we think it is pretty sure coming and just maybe this week. No asterisks. No explanations. Just the mere feature of a HUGE feat by one of our own. CARL - TON! '

This kid is definitely gonna break the record, but I hope it happens at home. He’ll have quite a few opportunities with army. I think it’s probably going to happen during the Monroe game.
