BREAKING New Opponent

[Josh Stowers]

Marshall will face South Carolina in 2018. It will be a one game series in Columbia. The $ amount for this game should be close to $1.5 million.

If so I love it. Easy trip and lots of money.

Oh my.... now that's a big game.

 

[The Real SamC]

Great location. Great step up game.

IIRC, this would be our first pure "money game" (a game where we just cash a check with no return game) since 2008. Probably will have to become a yearly thing due to loss of TV money.

Our schedule won't allow it on a yearly basis. I could see it happening in 2019 & 2022.

Yep.

In 2019 we have Ohio and UC at home and travel to Boise. A P5 makes all the sense in the world.

We're full in 2020 and while we do have an opening in 2021, we already have away games scheduled at Navy and Appy State (as well as a home game with ECU). Can't see Hamrick being okay with just five homes that year.

 

[TwolfHerdfan]

Mike wants at least 6 home games every year and will schedule 7 if he can work it in.

Beer and SEC opponent in the same week? Is this a dream?

O Hell....will the HERD pluck the cocks like they did during our last trip there....."started their LONG losing streak with Lou Holtz at the helm in Columbia.....

Can't wait.......HerdZilla22...in Charlotte (less than a 1:45 hour trip fro me......)

Once again you've failed as a MU historian. Lou Holtz was not the coach at SC in 1998, I'll let you research the right answer.

Great game, we cant always get home and homes, especially with anyone in the SEC outside vandy. So we get a program we can compete with and we get a good payday, whats not to like. ECU played there or maybe it was played in Charlotte, not long ago, no home game in return.....we are no better than ECU. Just amazed SC is willing to pay that much against a program that can threaten them...

 

[munotwvu342]

Brad Scott was the head coach .

Google is a powerful tool. A lot of info at your finger tips and we all know if it's on the internet it has to be true, right?

Never doubt the interwebs.

Nope, OSU in 2010.

ECU is playing at USC this year...ECU also played there 2 years ago....No return home game.
