Can we please normalize men who can't golf playing from the red tees? Babe if you are on your 3rd stroke and still haven't made it to the reds, the blues aren't for you.
55 years ago today, November 14, 1970, Marshall University, Marshall Football, Huntington, and cities and towns around America experienced the tragedy of a lifetime.
75 members of Southern Airways Flight 932 perished on the return flight from a game at East Carolina.
For 55 autumns, those 75 men and women have been honored through resilience, resolve, hard work, dedication, pride, & thanks.
Through wins and losses. Through two-days. Through blood, sweat, & tears. Through blistering heat and bitter cold. Through demoralizing defeat. Through Championships.
The Herd has run onto the field as a symbol of a city, a State, and a University. A symbol of strength and love.
Season after season of unfathomable plays, unexplainable wins, and memories of Championship trophies raised.
The Herd has not endured, but thrived. Three words have encapsulated the identity of The Herd. Simple and powerful. Our call to unite. Three words that live in the hearts and minds of all that wear the Kelly Green and White.
We Are⦠Marshall
That is our rallying cry. All day. Everyday. With conviction and pride. With our whole chests.
Today though, for 24 hours, once per year, on November 14th,
We Are All⦠Marshall
Anyone crashing out after yesterday's loss to what looks like the best team in the country needs a reality check. Pack the Joan Saturday and let's see what these boys can really do! #goherd#weare
Herd Fans, we played Georgia. Not Georgia Southern, State, Tech. We played the Dawgs. A national championship contender. Relax a little bit. Wasnt the best, wasnt the worst. Pack the Joan next Saturday π€π». #WeAre
This team was really frustrating at times, but gosh dang it, I stuck all the way through. That Georgia Southern loss was the lowest of lows, and now we have arrived at the highest of highs. Was I emotional? Yes, but I was emotional cause I cared so much.
I have mixed feelings about Huff (especially after the VT game), but gosh dang it, he is a good leader for the players. Never gave up hope as idk why wouldn't you root for your coach to have success. I just wish I could say to him, "Thank you for making me look like a fool," with how wrong I was.
We all wanted to get over the hump, and this amazing staff has done it; this Herd squad will forever be etched in history. Thank you to the entire staff for everything you do for this program. Go Herd.
@jrstout55@RickyNations If we were looking at this game alone, I would tend to agree that maybe the players didnβt execute. However, we have 4 seasons of mismanaged game plans to support the coach being the issue. Last night, we had a great win. The boys on the field executed perfectly at the end.
If you aren't on ESPNU watching Marshall and James Madison in double overtime with the Thundering Herd fighting for a spot in the conference title game, are you even a college football fan?
@Ben2LongJohnson@TheHerdAD@CoachHuff Maybe we can give him one more shot. He did do a pretty good job last night π reasons Iβm not a HC. I might jump to disaster too quickly!
Huff interviewed for a job at a conference school the week we are fighting for a spot in the championship. I knew he was a trash coach after Georgia southern but our boys made him look good. Iβm so glad we will be looking for a new coach in the off season. @TheHerdAD@CoachHuff

@HerdFB will represent the East Division in the @HerculesTires@SunBeltFB Championship Game for the first time in program history following a double-overtime victory in its regular-season finale. βοΈπ
