As many of you guys know, I run the chains for Marshall University on game days (& Graduate). This is a very special day for the Marshall Community. On this day, the whole football team takes a run to the grave site of the fallen members of the 1970 team (2-3 miles). See the link below for articles, photos, video clips, etc... As most of you guys know, there was even a movie about this tragedy. It still gives me chills when the stadium starts the We Are (on 1 side of the field)...... Marshall (on the other side of the field). My pops knows exactly where he was when he hears the devastating news. I remember him telling me stories as I grew up about the event and history of Marshall. It is part of my community & has been a part of my life. Tragedies are devastating but it is a part of who "Marshall" is... On this day, all sports teams and people come together.

We Are...... Marshall! 11/14/1970 Never Forget!

Prayers for the families involved on this tragic day for Marshall Sports.
