HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – Marshall Director of Athletics Mike Hamrick announced Wednesday that the Thundering Herd and the Sun Belt Conference’s Appalachian State Mountaineers will meet on the gridiron in a home-and-home series in 2021 and 2022.

The two schools will play in Boone, N.C. on Sept. 25, 2021 and in Huntington on Sept. 17, 2022.

“It is great to get Appalachian State back onto our schedule and with that, we can give our fans another drivable road game,” Hamrick said. “Appalachian has a wonderful tradition and is already one of the top teams in the Sun Belt Conference.”

The Mountaineers, who are picked by Sporting News, Lindy’s and ESPN to win the Sun Belt this season, have had just two losing seasons in the last 30 years and won back-to-back-to-back FCS national titles in 2005, 2006 and 2007, amassing a 39-6 record.

"We're excited to renew our football series with Marshall,” said Appalachian State Director of Athletics Doug Gillin. “The Appalachian-Marshall rivalry still holds a special place in the hearts of Mountaineer fans. Many thanks to Marshall athletics director Mike Hamrick, associate A.D. David Steele and football coach Doc Holliday for working with us to make it happen."

The two schools have met 22 times, with Appalachian winning 14 – most of those Southern Conference dates. Marshall won the last meeting, a 50-17 non-conference affair in Huntington, in the 2002 season opener.

The 2021 game at ASU gives the Herd three non-conference dates that season, joining Navy in Annapolis, Md. (Sept. 4) and home against East Carolina (Sept. 11). In 2022, Marshall now has scheduled a home game with the Midshipmen (Sept. 3) in addition to an Edwards Stadium game against Appalachian.

I don't see anything wrong with this game as it's been scheduled. There is still room both of those years to have at least one P5 program on the schedule, with two P5's still a potential for 2022.

Couple that with the fact that Appy State seems to be back on the rise, I'm fine with scheduling G5 programs that are expected to consistently be in the top 2/3 of their conference every year.

[fedale]

“Appalachian has a wonderful tradition and is already one of the top teams in the Sun Belt Conference.”

Which is of course, a very prestigious accolade.

 

[mubaseballking]

I'm not excited about a home and home series with Appy State but playing Appy State is better than scheduling Norfolk State again. Or Western Carolina. Or Gardner Webb. Or Rhode Island.

There are other SunBelt teams (Arkansas State and Louisiana-Lafayette) I would rather see Marshall play.

However, you have to remember we have Louisville coming to Huntington, a series with Pitt, NC State, ECU, Navy. There is no denying that Hamrick has done better with future scheduling and giving his best effort in getting games scheduled.

This 100%. But no one should be doing cartwheels over this deal with Appy.

 

[GDM1972]

Don't Worry....... Beat Appy

 

[MarshallManiac]

I think you guys should just get used to the fact that it's going to be very difficult in the current landscape of college football to schedule a big name school. If we can't schedule a home-home with VT or Pitt or somebody like that, I'm happy to renew an old rivalry with a team that is now a peer whether we like it or not. I'm happy with this, all things considered. I wouldn't mind seeing a couple games with Georgia Southern too now that they are in the Sun Belt.

 

[MUonium]

yes better than fcs but we better win. to repeat the fair question; how are so many other g5 able to get p5s consistently? are they all one and done$? and once appy starts getting more and more P5s, does that say anything about us?

 

[19MU88]

I don't like FBS, but at least all of those games are at home.

 

[herdalicious]

Glad to see Marshall really embracing this return-to-FCS thing. What would be really funny is if Appy bought out the trip to Huntington.

 

[mubaseballking]

Looking at some other schools, like Indiana, Illinois, Northwestern, Duke, Syracuse, Georgia Tech, K-State, Cincy, UCF, SMU, UCONN and Arkansas St., for example, they may have some dates in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 that could work with our schedule. However, its much easier to list those schools as potential games than to get a deal done.

I wouldn't want to be sitting in Hamrick's chair when trying to get games scheduled.
