Fans cheer at season’s first football game despite thunderstorm
Rain and lightning did not stop the Thundering Herd fans from cheering on the football team for the first home game of the 2024-2025 season.
“I came here in 1969 and have been to every football game since 1983, home and away,” said longtime Marshall fan Mike Duncan.
Not only was Saturday the first football game of the season, but it was the 500th consecutive Marshall football game for Duncan.
Duncan has traveled to watch the team since the 80’s and is looking forward to attending many more games for as many years as he can.
Many other loyal Marshall fans gathered Saturday for the season opener, like Linda Hensley, who said she has been a Marshall fan for most of her life.
