I just got back from the trip to Marshall yesterday, and just wanted to let everyone know that the behavior and genuine concern and sentiment that we received from the Marshall fans was truly touching and heartwarming. Starting at the airport, every single Marshall fan I spoke to was unbelievably kind. People went out of their way to come and speak to us; in restaurants and a couple of other places, people got up from their tables and walked over to us to welcome us to Huntington, offer their best wishes, ask about Boone and how it was, ask about the campus. I had multiple people tell us they were praying for us and the region. Several said how glad they were that we were able to make it up for the game. They thanked us for coming. Most of you probably have seen where there band played our fight song pregame. When App ran out of the locker room for the game, a large amount of martial people stood up and applauded. I was truly touched, and am always going to remember how they treated us. You could feel it; it was more than just well wishes, but there was genuine caring and concern. Just wanted to post this as something uplifting for everyone; my experience at Marshall this weekend was one of the best experiences I have ever had with any fan base.
