- Sold Out. Possibly an attendance record. (FF?: This game may have the highest starting resale price of CFB this weekend...not 100% sure)

- Grayson McCall is officially out.

- Rasheen Ali is expected to be back.

- Marshall's first ever visit to Brooks (Playing Coastal * MB Bowl doesn't count)

- Trickett Bowl.

I hate to hear McCall can't play. Gold luck to both of you.

Saw this coming. Never really saw a scenario that he could realistically play this week after the hit.

I expect there to be a lot of Marshall fans at this game. We have a lot of alumni in the area and we all love Myrtle Beach lol

What is the current attendance record?

I expect a good crowd from Marshall as well. The record is 21,224. We'll have to go a bit more over capacity.

Should be great atmosphere.

I absolutely hate that McCall is out, Sun Belt legend.

Even still, I'm very nervous about this game, and would not be shocked to see our fourth straight loss today.

What do you mean MB Bowl doesn't count? We've won more trophies on your teal field than you have!!!

Sorry to read that Grayson is out. Expected, but still sad. Great to read Ali is expected to play. I like Marshall in this game. Should be a good one!

Attendance across the SBC is really growing! Consistent sellouts is a sign that the SBC is got things going in the right direction.

Hate that McCall is out but it is lucky for Marshall. I think Coastal would have been a big favorite had he played. Hopefully Ali is 100%, no point in bringing him back if not.

…..according to local Herd sources on the ground in NMB, Owen Porter is out for our D line.

Okay I need to ask other Marshall fans here, I just had a discussion with a generally out of touch Marshall fan relative that said they knew through a "rumor," that the reason Charles Huff will not play Cole Pennington is because he does not like the Pennington family... thinking as if he bought his son into the program?

That seems very ludicrous. I didn't know if that was something that other Marshall fans had heard, basically I'm seeing if this is a unconfirmed rumor or if there's something to it.

Let's GO CHANTS! Radio announcer just called this area the "56th County of West Virginia" due to all the Marshall fans, alums, and WV visitors we have down here. Ready for a great contest...

One of Huff's WTF game decisions timeout 1:05 into the game.

Cole's younger brother might even be a better QB than he is. If there is any truth to the rumor Huff not playing him because he doesn't like the family, Huff needs to go.

Great game management HUFFY, 6 minutes in two timeouts burned. Sums up Marshall's season with Huff at the helm, come out of a timeout the team totally confused barely get the play off the result sacked for a loss.

I feel sorry for Coastal fans. How yall watch this field on tv is beyond me. The blue turf at Boise is fine on tv and in person but this field is rough. Maybe it’s better in person

Okay, so it looks like the bad Marshall defense showed up, how did they miss the tackle on the receiver?

I just don't know if there's any truth to it. I know there are several other Marshall fans on the board that are way more connected that might be able to speak some truth or no truth into it.
