1969-1970 football
- Thread starter Always The Herd
- Start date
.........Always;Best I can do as follows:
I don't know which ones were freshmen, but a lot of names in the book "Rolling Thunder",
published in 1989

I have tried Google, etc. I cannot find anything listed for "freshmen" (maybe it's because they were not eligible). I knew many of them......but they are not listed as being in the plane crash.

So this is why I reached out to Herd Nation for possible help in locating the freshmen roster.

You may have misunderstood......I wanted 1969-1970 freshmen (not 1970-1971). Would you have that?
OK sorry about that. The 1969 Freshmen were Sophomores on the 1970 team. Do you want the list of 1970 Sophomores to see who had been Freshmen in 1969? I won't know if it's complete - players who quit, didn't return, injuries, etc.
OK Always maybe this will help. These are the Sophomore players on the 1970 team - they were Freshmen in 1969.

Me too. The Perry Moss scandal came to light just before the start of the '68 season. So, Coach Tolley,
who was an asst coach for Moss, was promoted and his inaugural season would have been 1969. Shoebridge was a
sophomore, but several players on the above list (Hood, Crabtree, Lajterman & Harris stand out in my head) would have been
freshman that season. Marshall had a "Freshman" team @ that time......weren't Freshman ineligible to play varsity prior to our
being granted an exemption prior to the 1971 post-crash era.

Correct W-S. Prior to the 1970 tragedy Freshmen played on Freshmen teams for football. The NCAA granted us permission in 1971 and that opened it up to all for the 1972-1973 season.

No sir....I "only" want to see the "freshmen" roster for the fall of 69. I am not interested in who may or may not have played in the fall of 1970. I hope you can help me.........thank you for what you have attempted to do so far....
Always those are the players who played in the Fall of 1970. I'm not sure what it is you are seeking. I have listed the entire roster plus the Freshmen. That is all I have.
...........Looks like you will need the MU Media Guide for 1969. You may want to contact the Drinko Library to see if they might have a copy or image they can share....
I can do that. What I seem to be missing W-S is if the Sophomores on the 1970 team does it not stand to reason that they were Freshmen on the 1969 team?
~
There are quite a few who were on the "69" freshman team who were "NOT" listed on the "70" team. That is why I wanted the exact 69 freshman roster.
OK our Athletic Department Sports Info Director should be able to provide you that info. Jason Corriher is SID.
bbneutralfan.....this is pretty much a complete list (although I know a Tony Angelo from New Jersey is not listed and also a quarterback named Marion Williams; I think that was his name from South Carolina).

In the past we have talked about players leaving MU or the team for various reasons...........if I am not mistaken the only players from the 69 season who were actually among the victims of the crash are: Mike Blake, Stu Cottrell, Bobby Hill, Joe Hood & Marcelo Lajterman.

Wow thank you Always. I had forgotten some names on your list. I had just returned to Marshall after serving three years in the Army and returned in January 1969. I was asked by a classmate and friend to be one of the student athletic trainers and obviously was lucky not to be on the flight. Thanks for helping recall those whom I failed to list.

Yes he was at that time in 69. He worked with all the equipment and stuff. He was from Oceana WV.
.......adding 3 names to this list: Al Saylor, Robert VanHorn & Freddy Wilson.

.......more pics from the book. If someone knows @HerdEQ - they would be interested to see the photo of the equipment room, taken 6 days post-crash
