Does either team feel going into this one? No. But there's old hatred.

A team that can't move the ball versus a team that can't stop anybody.

The Sun Belt is calling this The Old Mountain Feud. Sure, why not.

First Saturday night game in Boone since 2014. First Saturday game in Boone versus Marshall since 1996.

Both teams are 4-4, so both sides will claim the other team will win. Loser is in last place in the East and faces a tough hill for a bowl bid, and fans will be counting buyout money.

Also, the visitors' tunnel at KBS is now cordoned off from the general public and there's a covering over it, so no one's can Xweet that their life is in danger and get a signal boosting Kirk Herbstreit Quote Xweet.

Georgia Southern sucks.

Game is at 6 p.m., so we might go blind from the shine beforehand.

Always an electric crowd in Boone.

We're both playing for bowl eligibility at this point. HOPEFULLY Coach Huff gives Cole Pennington a full week of prep as a starter.

If we throw Fancher out there and lose, I think the fanbase goes into full meltdown mode.

If we throw Cole Pennington out there and he shines, new life will breath into our fanbase.

It's actually a very compelling trauma unfolding within the Marshall program as we speak, a lot riding on the line on Saturday night.

Marshall and App State fans are interesting groups of people for sure. There's a good chance they'll just both drown their sorrows pregame and watch in a confusing level of peace and harmony, each awaiting their team to implode at any time, rooting for success but ready to just throw up their hands and laugh at failure.

Seriously considering betting my house on App covering the spread (App -4)...a surefire path to early retirement!

The way Marshall played Saturday they can make Appy look like Super Bowl team.

Exactly. Something’s got to give one way or the other…but damn if I know which way.

ECU was the last game App covered.

They’ve been favored every game this year except UNCCH and WYO +3

Would love to see us get to 2 in a row! At the very least, I'm gonna have some good shine and pull like hell for the real Mountaineers!

App's defense is giving up on average 130 yards per game more than their Belt opponents are averaging on the year. If that trend continues, Marshall's looking at 500 yards in total offense Saturday. Our four opponents to date are also averaging 9 more points per game than their seasonal average.

Everybody sandbagging over here. I guess no one wins.

I don't know that you can call no touchdowns in 7 quarters of play sandbagging.

We're all just hoping Pennington gets the nod to start, and practices with the 1s this week. And Cam plays receiver.

You all are going to pass all over us. Break big run plays at will.

Whatever the points are, take the over.

I dunno, App is so think at linebacker we're starting 5 DBs now.

It's actually been 9 quarters with no offensive touchdowns.

Don’t worry. You will score on your opening drive. That’s a lock.

You know the unstoppable force meets immovable object thing? This game is whatever the opposite of that is.

I think this could get ugly in a hurry, if I am App and win the toss I take the ball. We seem to give up a seventy yard pass or run on every opening drive by our opponent.

If we start Cam Fancher, expect an angry and upset Marshall fanbase here. Half of our O will come from Fancher not reading his routes, attempting to scramble when it's too late for a two yard rush. And underutilizing Rasheen Ali.

If we start Cole Pennington, expect an App State victory, but about 2/3 of the Marshall fanbase here understanding it's gonna take a few of these learning the ropes games to build towards the future. And underutilizing Rasheen Ali.

So the only constant is gonna be an App State win, and Marshall underutilizing Rasheen Ali.
