Would enjoy talking about football this week with a program with rich football tradition and one that choose to play the game we all love.

I’m excited our programs how found a solution to play through these times instead of turning our backs on our players, coaches, and conference mates.

You're welcome here

I kind of scan other threads, I think a lot of people are just heated about a lot of the other things. But now it's a new week.

App State posters are welcome here. Time for Marshall and App State!

Also, I'm not feeling the ODU hate. I don't know a single fan on the ODU side that is happy about not playing.

Get a hobby troll.

Troll saint - anything else you want to share? You are truly pathetic. Go back to your sunbelt site, assuming anyone there cares to hear what you have to say. Go home, troll. Go home.

You ever considered not calling people “pathetic” or “stupid” or “morons” on a constant basis? You’re unnecessarily aggressive on here and for the life of me I can’t understand why you think it’s appropriate to act like it. Is this how you talk to people in person as well?

Did you know there are Youtube videos older than the internets?

Looked like a barn burner! Super excited to be playing this matchup again.

Not all victims of covid get sick, sad.

This made me realize something, the last three times Marshall has play App, we've had a different Heisman Trophy Candidate in each game...

1995: true freshman Chad Pennington (1999 Heisman candidate) eked out a 10-3 win in Huntington over App State.

1996: freshman Randy Moss (1997 Heisman candidate) leads the Herd to a 24-10 victory in Boone - the smallest margin of victory Marshall would have in its final year in FCS.

2001: Junior Byron Leftwich (2002 Heisman candidate) posted a 50-17 win over FCS #2 App State.

... and now in 2020...

Coincidence? I think not! You should play us more often. We like Heisman talk.

I'd just like to point out that App won the 1995 game 10-3 thanks to a rushing TD by former HC Scott Satterfield. Current HC Shawn Clark was the starting RG in the game.

I'm not sure what to expect this year after the first game for each team. We played well overall, but had costly mistakes and poor ST play that kept the game close. The Herd looked good, but EKU looks to be pretty bad. I'm sure it'll be another thriller like most games have been between the two schools. I'm just glad I'll be able to attend the game.

For context. This is a great rivalry. Sad that it’s been 18 years since it’s been played.

That’s good stuff. Thanks for posting. Eager to see how we stack up against a very good App St squad.

Looking forward to going back to Huntington. Mixture of good & not so good memories there. Especially at old Fairfield Stadium. Is it still around? To this day the 1990 game remains the only App game I've ever left early. That was a painful day.

Lots of respect for the Marshall program. Thrilled to be playing this game. I still really don't know what to expect with y'all smoking EKU and App sliding around with UNCC. This game will be very telling for both teams.

No, it was razed many years back and is now the site of a Marshall Health building. There was no salvaging that stadium.

Go Herd!

App State Coach Clark pre-Marshall press conference.

Tudor's Biscuit World makes an appearance in the questions! The correct answer on the go-to biscuit order at Tudor's is the Thundering Herd. You could bet on the Mountaineer, but the meat of it is kinda underwhelming!

Nice

I'm still waiting for news on CBS...

Any scuttlebutt?

Marshall Fans,
My wife and I will be coming up Friday for the game. If there is 1 positive of Covid postponing high school football in NC, it's the time I now have to travel to see a new town and check another stadium off of my list. Excited to spend a little time in Huntington. Staying at the DoubleTree Downtown. Any good suggestions for supper that night? What about a good place for breakfast?
Also, will we be able to walk to the stadium from that location? Looks like it's close enough but not sure if it's accessible. If the game is moved to 3:30, might be able to do some site seeing that morning. Any info will be helpful. Hope to meet some football fans this weekend.

Rumor is that it has a “strong chance” to be moved up to the CBS 3:30 slot.

Who does Jennifer Garner root for

Jennifer Garner- Actress (George Washington High School 1990)
Shawn Clark- Appy State HC (George Washington High School 1994)
Grant Wells- Marshall starting QB (George Washington High School 2019)

Yes, prepare for a multitude of great recommendations.

Eat: Hillbilly Hotdogs is a must if you've never been there. The original lesage, West Virginia location is only about a 15 to 20 minute drive.

Jim's Spaghetti is a great local restaurant, bring cash because I don't know if they do credit yet.

The Peddler is my favorite new restaurant downtown, in fact, anything around Pullman Square or downtown will be good as well.
