Wow, thank you Spencer. I like keeping up with the weather anyway, but certainly an update from the game site is exceptionally KEWL.

God Bless you, and I hope you have a great experience today.

GO EAGLES !!!

Does the MU football field dry quickly? I clearly remember during the ELLLLLLLLLLLLOS disaster season, during a game against Louisville, the USM field had literally lakes across it. It took a tornado to get our turf replaced....

Thanks for the weather updates Mike, it's appreciated.

Houston, I was wondering the same thing. I looked it up and Marshall upgraded to Astro Turf in 2014 and it appears that the field should be first rate. A quote from the link below:

"The synthetic turf will be laid on top of a brand new E-Layer--a bonded rubber, elastomeric base that provides excellent shock attenuation, drainage and planarity."
