…..in my experience, doubters & haters tend to develop debilitating bouts of arthritis & laryngitis when it comes to apologies!I believe we need an apology from all the doubters and haters in regard to the field. So many thought it wouldn’t be done, bc it’s been in the talks for so long. But as soon as the city won that money and laid out a plan for the area (regardless of who paid for the field) I knew it was going to happen.
So kudos to past and current administrations to help this come to fruition so my kids can grow up watching Marshall baseball.
So, you admit to being both a doubter AND a hater! Ahah!!!!What exactly was you guys' role in building this venue, such that someone would owe you an "apology"?
For over 50 years, MU presidents, ADs, coaches, BG leaders, local politicians of all stripes and parties, and other big wigs have announced plan after plan. Multiple artists conceptions, several groundbreakings, different sets of plans, locations all over Cabell County and even beyond. All false promises. Some lies, some just plain failures to get the job done.
And, many posters, including myself, simply pointed that out when, naively, others took the latest of 100s of plans seriously. We were not only right to do so, we were right about every one of these plans, until the last one.
So in walks Jimmy Justice, the first MU graduate elected to statewide office living memory, who gets the job done.
Get Big Jim on here, or even Baby Dog, and I will apologize to him. He had a role in this. You did not.
But now, it's all coming to fruition. And you can munch on your doubting words.A doubter? Yes, of course. When those in power fail and or lie about something, for 50 years, it is smart to doubt them.
Nah man, gtfoh, Marshall prior BS’d decades of coaches/recruits/boosters about a baseball stadium and never got it done until now. I also remember the IPF announcement at the KState then that not being exactly accurate infoBut now, it's all coming to fruition. And you can munch on your doubting words.
Don't forget about Robert Byrd.So in walks Jimmy Justice, the first MU graduate elected to statewide office living memory, who gets the job done.
I was at the field of dreams today. It was built but he didn’t comeDon't forget about Robert Byrd.
What about him?Don't forget about Robert Byrd.
You are a great dude. Wanna go have a beer?What exactly was you guys' role in building this venue, such that someone would owe you an "apology"?

Nice fluffery.What about him?
He avoided service in WWII and thus had no GI Bill benefits. He then tried to attend Marshall for one semester to avoid the post-war draft, before running out of money. He never graduated from Marshall. Later, in a practice that was common in that era, American University granted him a law degree without any actual course work. There were a lot of uneducated senators and congressmen in that generation and this was a common thing, on the understanding that they would never actually use the degree. Decades later MU awarded him an unearned degree on the "he was poor and ran out of money" tale.
Whatever aspersions can be cast towards Robert Byrd, he brought a ton of pork & rounds of cheese back to Mtn Mama.Nice fluffery.
People talk about the pork all the time, it's not like every other senator from every other state wasn't doing it.Whatever aspersions can be cast towards Robert Byrd, he brought a ton of pork & rounds of cheese back to Mtn Mama.
And I say that as a die hard R.
Underwood holds a “56 game hitting streak” type record:I always considered Cecil Underwood a Son of Marshall.
He didn't graduate or attend Marshall but both he and his wife gave Marshall the ultimate gift:
They donated their bodies to the Marshall School of Medicine.
