After months of preparation and anticipation, we all finally got to watch our favorite team on the gridiron. Most importantly, it was an escape from reality even if the situation did not feel exactly normal. And although it was not a perfectly played game, the result was and that afternoon was good enough. Now the focus shifts from a new rival to an old one. Nearly two decades have passed since the last time these former SoCon rivals have played. Since then, there have been twelve conference championships won between the two schools, eleven of those by App State. The schools have combined for fifteen bowl games in the same amount of time, with thirteen wins. If there is one thing these two schools and fan bases value, its winning. Anything less is intolerable. Marshall is coached by a man who has spent all but seven years of his life in the state of West Virginia. Likewise, App State is also coached by man who hails from the Mountain State, who gets a chance to coach his alma mater in front of family and friends and against his own college rival. With so many story lines heading into this matchup, you almost forget, there is a game to be played and viewed by millions of households. That’s right, even if your television still has a dial, or your home an outhouse, you can watch this game on CBS. Never has their been a better time for the Appalachian brand to be shown to a national audience.

I’m going with we improve and their first opponent made them look better than they are. Hoping at least.

I am having a hard time figuring out which Marshall team we will see.

Will it be the one that beat La Tech, FAU and Western Kentucky? Or the team that inexplicably lost to UNCC, MTSU and got blown out by Cincinnati?


If it’s the former Marshall, I think they win 32-21.

If it’s the latter I think we roll them on national television by 3 tds.

Let’s hope they come out flat in a post-EKU FCS haze.

Defense plays an unbelievable game and we rarely put the ball in the air winning 17-3.

Defense stones herd and on offense, we do what App does.

Changing my mind on this one.

App still wins but the score will just cover the spread

I would be delighted to see us hold them to 3. We are capable of playing lights out defense, as we saw last year in Columbia.
