This is so typical of Marshall fans. Whine and butch about a blackout as its too much for the plane crash anniversary 11/14/70 but yet want to have ESPN College GAME DAY come on the whole premise of it being the 45th anny.
Blackout - bad too much.
National TV show on ESPN talks all about it for 4 hours - cool.

OOOH. Sorry. Didn't realize.

Did you see "considering" it is a hoax.

Just curious, what connection do you have to 11/14/70?

The blackout on the crash anniversary IS a terrible idea. It's just uncomfortably dark. And from a marketing perspective it is a total fail. To turn blackout game excitement (which is suppose to hype the fans and players) into a somber moment of "remembrance" defeats the purpose of the whole thing. Why not have some throwback helmets for the anniversary game (I mean how much does a decal cost??) and then do a blackout for another game? They could have made two games "special" for the players and fans.

Marshall should do a white out for it or throwback uniforms. This would be a big thing for Marshall and the conference as a whole if we hosted Gameday. I'll see believe it when I see it though, hope I'm wrong.

I have 0 faith that we get Game Day. However, if we were to ever get College Game Day it would have to be for a game like this as macabre as that sounds.
RE: This actually might work. - rawright1987 - 11-06-2015 12:01 AM
I'm predicting Gameday to be in Houston for their game against Memphis that day. If not there, I figure they'll be at the Oklahoma-Baylor game.

No it is not. It is a great idea, to show respect and remembrance for those who died that day. I think its a great thing, and it will be an epic fail in the stands, as only about 30% of fans will probably buy black, but the uniforms will be awesome if the rumors are true.

Only really 2 marquee matchups next week, so might have a chance...Landscape pretty bare but with ESPN and a contract with American Conference, I would expect them to be in Houston for Houston vs. Memphis...

One other consideration is they have to get Herbstriet from Gameday location to the ABC Saturday Night game of the week. Now, I know they've flown him from Oregon to Alabama, so it's really possibly for him to fly cross country in time, but three games ABC can flex into that time are...
#3 Ohio State at Illinois
#17 Michigan at Indiana
Maryland at #7 Michigan State
It'd be a lot easier to get Herbstriet to Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan from Huntington than from Houston.

Would it really be easier though? Maybe for the average person, but for ESPN? I do not forsee that being a determining factor in the slightest.
