Watching an old game like this you see so much (foul wise) that would be called today. late hits, collar tackles... has the game gone soft or were the rules for the better?
@@petetheodocion9542 I wouldn't say "enjoy as much", just tolerating. If we had no issue with it he wouldn't have brought it up. Go to any of the hundreds of old games and people point out how intense football used to be.
This version of ESPN Plus was the actually the rebranding of ESPN Regional Television (fka Creative Sports) in 1996 and served as a distributor of college games to regional sports networks and broadcast stations. "ESPN PLUS" now technically falls under the ESPN Events umbrella. These regioanl broadcasts would also be carried on ppv via ESPN Gameplan/Fullcourt packages. ESPN3 technically started as ESPN360 in 2005. ESPN3 would eventually become the ppv outlet (until the new ESPN+ was created) as ESPN transitioned the packages to digital platforms (and rebranded the cable/satellite offerings as ESPN College sports extra.
For the record I can’t stand these Marshall fans and all their propaganda bull crap but I sure miss this series it was entertaining for the early college football season I know I maybe a minority within the WVU fan base but I would rather have Marshall on the schedule rather than William and Mary and Delaware state
The NFL talent on the field that day was incredible.
The good old days. Two very good teams.
One has won 12...the other, zero. One very good team...at least.
two of the best played teams from both schools , Wow what a game and execution by both teams ... Gary Stills was lights out ...
Moss INSANE VERTICAL at 1:44:35 HOLY SHIT. Lucky he didn't get hurt landing from that height...
It was really, really hot that day too! Thought I would pass out from the heat...
This game was an absolute blast to attend
dang, its been 20 years.
Some of the kids on this year's team weren't even born when this game was played !
Great game, respect 💪.
Crazy that they were on commercial during that Moss TD. What a blunder, lol.
Also, I’m an Eers fan first (and an alumni) and a Herd fan second. Marshall got robbed on that 3Q fumble by WVU.
My 16 year old punk ass was there! Lol
Do you have any jack Fleming radio broadcasts
2:06:50 "delay of game and offsides offset"... these guys really just made it up as they went.
Big Marshall fan but GG, looking forward for the next matchup
XtraDiamonds No it’s not going to happen
Meanwhile....still 0-12. Just a reminder!

Little bit of both honestly !
Since you enjoy the games now just as much, if its safer Id say the changes are clearly better

Wait espn plus was in 1997 I thought it was created last year lol
This ESPN+ became ESPN 3 if I remember correctly.
They produced games for regional channels and Pay Per View
Lol funny we couldn't afford it in97

Wouldnt mind a home and away every four years.
@@austin_l there is no reason to ever play at marshall
@@wessac1627 there's no reason to play at Ohio U, Cincinnati, TCU, Baylor, UCF, Houston,... but here we are
Couldn’t agree more. A game that many in the state would actually value versus some random small team? I know what I would prefer.
The WVU TE flinches multiple times starting just after 02:52:30. Do that in today's game and it's a false start
THE FREAK!!!
Marshall should be in the Big 12
The announcer... Inconsistent offense and scoring 42...lol... Guess he needed 60
