Marshall Plane Evacuated on way to East Carolina

Written by In The Bleachers on .

Filed under the eery story for the day, the Marshall football team's plane was evacuated earlier today after the engine began smoking.  No one was hurt, but its a painful reminder of the events of 35 years ago, in which a plane carrying members of the Marshall football team crahsed after a game.  The team they had just finished playing:  East Carolina.  The anniversary is 4 days away. Just scary.  In a lighter note, Matthew Fox was not with the team, having already been Lost at sea.  Fox is co-starring with Matthew #2 (McCauneghey, or something like that) in the upcoming, We are Marshall. Psudo-editorial note:  Having gone to Furman University, I was bred to have a supreme hatred for all things Marshall, as they were our chief 1-AA rival until moving up to Division 1-A.  That being said, I wish nothing but the best for the Marshall football team and wish them all the safety they could enjoy.
