Lyons on playing Marshall: If they want to play, we will play them here (Morgantown). There hasn't been much interest on their part.
"But one team has not been discussed.
West Virginia hasn’t played Marshall in football since the 2012 season and basketball since 2015. And according to Lyons there have been no discussions on continuing either.
The two teams met on the gridiron in an annual sense from 2006-12 in what was referred to as the Friends of Coal Bowl. Overall, the two teams have met 12 times with West Virginia winning each. On the basketball side of things, the Mountaineers and Thundering Herd had met annually in Charleston since 1992 until the end of the series prior to last year. The Mountaineers lead the all-time series 33-11.
There have been no discussions to reignite the series.
“If they want to play we’ll play them here but there hasn’t been a lot of interest in that,” he said."
