We've been working on a very special project--a look back at the Marshall tragedy of November 14th, 1970 and the ultimate comeback story...

@WSAZnews
it's 11:35 EST and the CFB National Championship is just now entering the 4th quarter..kids have school..parents work..just put this game on a Saturday night every year---
So ACC saying it's safe for Pitt and FSU to play in Miami but not for Pitt to play Marshall in Huntington or FSU to play WVU in Atlanta? is this really a safety decision?
A lot of people have asked where this ranks in the pantheon of Marshall wins...that’ll be debated forever but I know this—that was an incredible team to cover and an NCAA run for all time—congrats
@HerdMSoccer
Doesn’t make sense if I don’t include the picture
Former

and NFL stars Albert McClellan, CJ Spillman and Ahmad Bradshaw taking in the Herd game
What a night for former Huntington High All American Patrick Patterson—the school retired his jersey

So sad to pass on the news that Young Thundering Herd legend Reggie Oliver passed away today at the Huntsville Hospital from injuries suffered in a fall. That smile and laugh will long live on— and his impact on
@HerdFB
will forever be remembered

takes us to the mountains and into the water to show all

has to offer.
How great would it be if college football gave everyone a chance at the national title like college hoops does..? That’s why March Madness is the best show in sports
Green Bay coach Linn Darner said he doesn’t see crowds like that in his league
Said they haven’t played in an atmosphere like that since Creighton and Michigan State
Interesting how some national media defend players who skip bowls by saying they’re “meaningless exhibition games” —what’s next? Will an in-season game be “meaningless” once you’re out of the conference title chase?
Got to spend some time with
@CoachHuff
this afternoon—the man hasn’t stopped since he got to Huntington on Monday—we’ll hear from him tonight at 6 on
@WSAZnews
@HerdFB
Had a great conversation with Tampa Bay offensive coordinator and Marshall Hall of Famer Byron Leftwich tonight..he hasn’t slept yet! We’ll bring it to you at 10 & 11

A beautiful sight at today’s practice: Jaquan Yulee walked out of the Shewey Building and joined his teammates (briefly) at practice. Every player and coach hugged and greeted Yulee.

Byron’s Mom came down on the field after he got back from the hospital and said “Byron you are not going back in that football game”
Byron convinced her
So sad to hear of the passing of Marshall Hall of Famer Michael Payton—-a friend and great competitor—led the Herd to one of its greatest wins..1992 1-AA National Championship
@HerdFB
Tosha Roberts updates JJ’s condition…
“He’s showing improvement with no neck or spinal injuries. Will be under the care of MU medical staff to determine when he'll return to the field, but it's looking very promising. We are truly thankful for all of the support & prayers”
So sad to report that former Marshall star running back Devon Johnson has passed away—what a talent and a nice young man. I spoke briefly with Doc Holliday he said “I’m just sick about it...unbelievable.”
@HerdFB
Texted w/Darius George today—he lost his Uncle Ron to Covid-19 this week
“My uncle meant everything to me. He’s always someone I looked up to since I was a little kid. I was super close with him growing up.. He’s in a better place.”
Keep him in your

Taevion Kinsey announces he'll be returning for for his senior season--averaged nearly 20 ppg and 6 rebounds a game for Marshall--1st team All CUSA..removes his name from the draft
Not singling out players who decide to forgo bowl games—but it’s a sign of the times how the CFB playoff has become a detriment to the sport in general —exclusionary system which by its nature degrades games other than the final four
Talked with former Marshall Coach Bob Pruett about the

College Football Hall of Fame news
“He’s not arguably the greatest wide receiver to play the game…he is the greatest. I’m so proud of him”
