On November 14, 1970, a chartered jet carrying most of the Marshall University football team clips a stand of trees and crashes into a hillside just two miles from the Tri-State Airport in Kenova, West Virginia, killing everyone onboard.The team was returning from that day’s game, a 17-14 loss...

No. Blue Raiders are on the road AT Marshall

 

[cipman2000]

I’m so not paying attention to this year. I should have said.... We are going to get schooled by a top 25 team this year.

 

[blueraiderJT]

...on the 50th anniversary of the plane crash? We might as well forfeit. We are gonna get snotboxed just for that alone.

Huntingdon / Marshall is going to be amped up this weekend (well, as amped up as a socially distanced crowd can be) for the 50th anniversary of the plane crash is going to add another dimension.

Amped up opponent + nationally ranked opponent = MT will get blown out.

I don't think Doc will hang a bunch on Stock. He will keep it around 50.

Same here. Saw us then and went to Charlotte in '19 to watch us lose. For years I've made it to one game a year. No desire at all to see them this year even if reduced crowds weren't a factor.
