This is something that he wrote about November 14, 1970....................
"Certainly none of us will forget that rainy Saturday night of November 14, 1970. The 1970 football had dedicated themselves to secure the first winning season in several years at Marshall. As many of us know, who were in school with them, Wednesday night was the night to go out, especially to the Varsity. For the first 8 weeks of the season, hardly any of the team came out on Wednesdays. That Wednesday, November 11, 1970, was different, as the majority of the team came out. I remember Bobby Harris and Jack Repasy planning a party with me and Pat Brady at my apartment that was going to take place after the OU game. "Shoe" was singing his favorite song "Psychedelic Shack", Artie Harris blowing to "You Got Me Going in Circles", Griff giving his unexpected "head butts", and "The Governor" proud of his recovery from an early season broken arm to finish out the season. "Jimo" Adams was excited as he said, "the Program is coming around, we are taking a JET this week instead of a prop plane."
Certainly the Marshall family has been well documented all the way to Hollywood. I think Ernie Salvatore said it best when he described us as "The Faithful". November 14, 1970 will remain in our hearts forever. To me, that Wednesday night at the Varsity, November 11, 1970, was a date I will always remember when they all came out to party, sing, dance and make future plans. As I have felt for the past 43 years, they came out to say "Goodbye"
