Return game or not I like this one!

whoever wrote the article is wrong about Holtz being the coach.  Brad Scott was the coach and he was fired at the end of the 98 season.

The Gamecocks and the Herd haven’t played since Marshall’s second season back in the FBS ranks in 1998. In that game, legendary coach Lou Holtz led South Carolina and Marshall hit a late field goal to give the Herd a 24-21 victory in front of a stunned Williams-Brice Stadium crowd.

Opps. Good catch W0lfman. I could have sworn it was Holtz but he didn't take over at S.Car until the following year in '99. I've edited the story to reflect the correct information.

Yeah, def Brad Scott, he was fired then Scott was hired by Clemson coach Bowden as a coordinator the very next year.

With Litton being a Senior in 2018 we  have a good shot winning this game.

I think the writer got his/her info from the original press release as I read that same thing in another article somewhere.


Either way. I'm very glad to be playing a winnable SEC game in Chase Litton's Senior year.

I do believe they're going to look back on that game as a $1.4 million mistake.

I just hope this doesn't hurt our negotiations with future home and homes with P5 schools.

Thanks for trying to give me the benefit of the doubt. But, I was just going off my memory. I was 9 in 1998 and for some reason I've spent all these years thinking Holtz was there when we played them. I just got it wrong. I should have doubled checked the info but I was so sure I was right I didn't bother. Thanks for pointing out the error folks, I've corrected it and added a disclaimer to the story. I want to bring 100% accuracy to this blog and everything I put out for Marshall fans. Sometimes mistakes happen and this is one of those time. As a professionally trained journalist and one who spent time working in an actual newspaper I won't bulk when I mess up and I'll be quick to correct any mistakes. Accuracy is of the utmost importance to me and to building a relationship as a reliable source. If I mess up let me know and I will own it. But, also as a professionally trained journalist I knew better here and should have double checked my childhood memory. But, again thanks for pointing it out and thanks Flyhawk for trying to give me a pass. lol

With you Ed. My first thought on hearing this was Litton's senior season...SC is going to be wondering why we aren't paying them to play the game. Could be a rough weekend for SC fans, a loss on the field and the bank account.
