Last summer new Thundering Herd head basketball coach Tom Herrion attended the annual mid-Atlantic Marshall University Alumni Association Crab Fest. Herrion was so impressed by the turn out and passion shown by Marshall’s mid-Atlantic alumni that he pledged to schedule a basketball game in the area. According to Chuck Landon’s article in today’s Herald Dispatch Herrion has attempted to do that. Unfortunately, his efforts to secure a basketball game in the area have not been successful, both American University and Towson have rejected the Herd’s offer of a home and home series.
As a Marshall alum in the mid-Atlantic region I wanted to thank coach Herrion for his efforts. Lets hope that another Washington/Baltimore area college takes Marshall up on its offer.
