Upcoming game in jeopardy?

…just thinking about the situation w/App. Western NC is facing immense clearing of damage due to Helene. How does their football team practice for Saturday? Even getting to Huntington might be difficult, as hundreds of roads are closed. Will be interested to see how this plays out.

They will be in town Tuesday and use Marshall facilities for practice.

That’s what I figured would have to happen. Good on us! Great rivalry!

I have a buddy who cooks the meals for groups at the hotel where they are staying. He is a huge Marshall fan. He has some ideas.

Per WBTV the facilities at Appy are fine, but the school has cancelled classes until Friday. The dorms are open and support facilities for students are also open. They are encouraging students not to travel due to bad road conditions. I don't see a reason why the Appy football team would come to Huntington until it gets closer to game day, but who knows? The team can practice at Boone, until they travel to Huntington.
