*****************


CHARLESTON, W.Va. - An University of Houston wide receiver who broke his 
leg when he ran into a metal service cart in an 2008 game at Marshall University's Joan C. Edwards Stadium is suing Marshall and Conference USA, according to numerous reports nationally.

Patrick Edwards, a junior for the Cougars, filed the lawsuit Tuesday in Kanawha County Circuit Court in West Virginia's capital of Charleston. Edwards ran into the cart during the Oct. 28 game at Marshall on national television

Edwards was running full speed for a long pass when his right shin crashed into a yellow cart just beyond the end zone. The cart was one of a couple of similar carts used by the Marshall University "Marching Thunder" marching band to haul equipment to the south end zone, where the band is seated. The carts were located in a space between the hillside of the south end of the stadium and the end line of the field, a space of about 1-2 yards wide.

The lawsuit says Marshall has a duty to maintain its football field in a reasonably safe manner, including the removal of obstructions.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - Painting the Capital Green on Wednesday night was just as much fun, despite the fact that down the street blue and yellow-hues were being mixed in a way as not to become the color kelly green of the Thundering Herd.
Mike Hamrick, who took over as Marshall's Director of Athletics one year ago exactly to the day, shouted out to the fans of a different hue up the street and those in Green and White with him at the Embassy Suites in Charleston, W.Va.
"Let me go on record. Those negotiations are going on and we will play West Virginia, 1-for-1. We don't need a 2-for-1 with WVU.
"We will have a home-and-home with another Big East school (Louisville) and with Purdue. We will work on 1-for-1 with other schools. We will go to Morgantown, but we need them to come back and be our guest in Huntington."

"Paint the Capital City Green" is Marshall University's largest indoor pep rally for Thundering Herd alumni, fans and friends. Dr. Stephen Kopp, Hamrick, head football coach Doc Holliday, seniors Lee Smith and Mario Harvey, the Marching Thunder Marshall Marching Band, Marco and the cheerleading squad were all in attendance at the Embassy Suites for the 13th year in a row in the state capital.

Herd Wednesday A.M. Practice Not Korny At All PDF Print E-mail

*********************

HUNTINGTON - Amazingly, the sun came up Wednesday, the Herd took the field and Willie Korn was somewhere in South Carolina still talking about a move to North Greenville College in Tigerville, S.C., the town named for the nearby Clemson team Korn couldn’t start for in 2009, like the Herd in 2010.
The Thundering Herd was missing other players on Wednesday morning, but those players being out had nothing to do with the former quarterback who was moved to safety for two days at Marshall after being moved behind not only senior starter Brian Anderson, but also true freshman Eddie Sullivan and red-shirt frosh A. J. Graham.
Korn did not have the game starting experience of Anderson, who has started 15 games at Marshall since 2006, including all 13 last season and leading the Herd to it's first bowl win since 2002 in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl win over Ohio University, 21-17.
He also did not have the arm or athleticism of either Sullivan or Graham, and was asked by the coaches to move after last Thursday when the MU depth chart got its first shake out.
Korn's father began contacting Division II schools in the Carolinas almost immediately, but Korn settled on a 2-9 North Greenville team that is an option team - a.k.a., running attack quarterback, and the Crusaders also have two returning quarterbacks who were injured last season. NGC is about 30 minutes from the Korn home in Lyman, S.C.
