Cool bringing the spirit of 88!
Huntington has had measureable rain 23 of the last 24 hours...biggest 3-hour rain total has been in the last 3 hours with 0.55 inches. Just over an inch of rain since midnight ET.
Good news...looks like the back edge of the heaviest rain has just moved past Huntington.
Is that real brick? If so, gotta be heavy!
i think CUSA needs to find a neutral site for championship games. Most other conferences have a neutral site.
And play in a 1/2 or more empty stadium?...no, thanks.Quote:

Semi-neutral is best. A city close to a school...... There are some cities that are naturals - in the West, Dallas would draw a big crowd. In the East, there are a lot of choices.Quote:

GO DAWGS! One hour 'til kickoff. Let's get this championship!
I was worried this was about to be one of those games where all the internet radio feeds would be blacked out. >_>
This looks the official casualty list....
Sean Isabella @ST_IsabellaTNS 13m13 minutes ago Huntington, WV Crippling news out of #LATech. Six players won't play due to academic ineligibility — Brown, Pinson, King, Johnson, Bell & Carter all out
List just confirmed on the pregame show....all six from the two-deep.
Ehh the only one that stands out to me as being a "big" blow is maybe Pinson.
OL and LB are the positions hardest hit. The biggest impact is depth....if anyone in those two areas goes down, then it will hurt big-time.
We're about to face a 6'1" 245 RB. The biggest loss will be 6'2" 255 LB Tony Johnson. Marshall is going to ram it down our throat.Quote:

Devon Johnson is questionable due to a shoulder injury.Quote:

Team is in all white...including white helmets.
Agreed. He is biggest loss.Quote:

Beth Mowins. Old news since Monday.Quote:

OK, I'm gonna say it.......a woman play-by-play announcer for the game....damn!!
Yep, male chauvinist pig here.
didn't know that Tech had academic problems.
Did any radio station forget to turn off their feed?
Nice start
wish she was calling softball not football.Quote:

Kentrell Bruce apparently... lol
Stop with the Trash talking do it during the play not after.
Nice D. Forcing the punt on the first drive.
Craft early...Dixon may be gimpier than we thought.
MTC zebras on offsides.
Dixon drops an easy one...don't think he is all there.
Lee with the catch!
Gonna miss him making plays.
BIG MTC Dixon from the T
Nice block Craft!
Hey, Craft, the force you just used to throw that block, use it when you are running! But stay on your feet.
MTC zebras on holding against Turner...
MTC Dixon
I think were the stronger team, as far as brute strength goes.
MTC Dixon
WTF why is dixon not in.
Can we pull our jerseys down over the freaking back plates. Ruins a nice uniform and just looks dumb overall
:furious3:Ran into our own damn linemen and lost ALL momentum? Are you kidding me?Quote:

3 better than 0
Nice opening drive...wish it could have gotten more than a 26-yard Barnes FG.
Tech 3-0 7:54 1st
Well that is points at least.
Disappointing but acceptable finish to an otherwise great drive. Passing is going to be a problem. Maybe we forgot our wet gloves?
We should be happy the kicker actually made it!
Whoever this network is that is carrying the game today has a great feed.
Looks like "good" Tech showed up today. Players look focused. Should be a good game.
ESPN is always better than everyone. For some stupid reason, everyone wants to be a full decade and a half behind with little sign of improving.Quote:

3-and-out from tough starting field position....
And nice return Taylor.
Tech 3-0 6:56 1st
Diaz...he's got a plan!
Nice D (again)!
Defense stands tall.
D and O look prepared. Great stop by D
And it helps that Cato is being inaccurate.Quote:

Maybe he is rattled from the loss last week?Quote:

He is seeing white from every direction. We aren't giving him much time.Quote:

MTC Henderson on the reverse
This lady announcer is retarded.
Taking bets on when the female commentator can actually pronounce one of our players names correctly.
MTC Craft from the T
Lee being his typical clutch self.
Crowd looks sparse. Is there a hurricane? Tornado?
I'm liking the T formation a lot.
I love the way we are not overplaying Dixon. Craft is looking good giving KD a breather.
Rain. In 48 degrees.Quote:

Pinned them deep again
Tech 3-0 3:28 1st
Almost got a muffed punt on that, that would have killed Marshall's mood absolutely.
She has a very annoying voice as well. Damn, I can find anything to complain about.......Quote:

Cato has missed deep on a few wide open receivers so far though. If they start hitting those consistently we're gonna be in deep trouble!
Fumbleaya!
First turnover. Great timing. Cato looked to be settling down.
Fumble bulldog football!
DUCK!
Tech 3-0 1st..."The Tech" is on.
Turnover for the good guys
HBTD!!!
how bout THE tech...
Defense Defense Defense
The commercial
How bout that bulldawg DDDDDDEFENSE
