to talk about that a little bit later on in the show. Now,
2:39
as you know, if you're a long time listener to the show, and
2:42
even if you're not a long time listener, you know the main sponsor for
2:45
the show is the Thornhill Otter Group. This is a company I personally have
2:49
had a long standing relationship going back twenty five years or more, if not
2:53
longer. They signed on pretty much from day one to sponsor the show,
2:57
and they had some big goings on at their Toyota dealership which is located on
3:01
the Thornhill Motormle US one nineteen and Chapmanville. Wally Thornhill joins us now to
3:06
talk about it. Good morning, welcome to the show. Wally. Hey,
3:08
good morning, Dave, Dave in the morning. I've been doing this
3:12
a long time. Yeah, that's that's going back to the old days.
3:15
There the David of the morning, if you believe it or not. I've
3:16
been gone from Logan for ten years and people in Charleston are trying to send
3:21
me back every day. Wally, Well, you know it will take you
3:23
any time, you know, of course always once day. Welcome to the
3:25
motormile. Yeah, it's all exciting things going on. But I go way
3:30
back with Yeah, we're rubbling early, you're on the radio early, we're
3:32
going to the races. Nathan I taking off. Where are you going today?
3:36
You know, it's a lot of fun. We had a lot of
3:38
good conversations. But today's exciting day. Yeah, indeed it is. And
3:42
again I want to say thank you for being a sponsor of this little song
3:45
and dance here. But I started doing the show mayor twenty twenty, and
3:49
you folks signed up from day one to be a sponsor. For that,
3:52
I'm forever grateful. So I want to help you celebrate this Momentu's Day for
3:55
your company and for the entire community, really, the entire state of West
3:59
Virginia as far as the auto industry goes. Tell us swally about this all
4:01
new thorn Thornhill Toyota in Chapmanville. Well, we're really excited. We had
4:06
our builders took this old beat up store that used to even be my old
4:12
Ford store. We got back into it at the Toyota store here, but
4:15
they took it apart. I was much left and refurished it and brought it
4:19
to modern day standards, all the way to the electrification for our evs.
4:25
It is amazing store. It's amazing repairs fixed and renewed. If you see
4:30
it doesn't look like an old building. It is a new building. Well,
4:33
I'm looking forward to seeing it again. We'll be all of our stations.
4:36
It's not often that we all go out to one location, but all
4:40
of us, all of our sister stations will be there broadcasting live. I'm
4:44
actually going to be doing double duty today as I'll be broadcasting on this station
4:46
also on our classic rock station nine eighty seven of the Mountain. I want
4:50
to give the listeners while he a little background on the Thornhill Outer Group in
4:55
general. And I won't get into the exact years and dates because I know
4:58
I could get it wrong and I can jump in any time if I'm wrong.
5:01
But back in the nineties, you and your company took over what was
5:04
then Honeycut Pontiac GMC and Logan, which eventually morphed into what is now Thornhill
5:11
GM Superstore in Chamanville. You'd later acquire the Ford Dealership there from the late
5:15
Mike Farrell, as well as the Toyota dealership which we're talking about today from
5:17
Mike Farrell, and the Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram dealership there. Along the way,
5:20
you picked up the mitsubishie line. So for those keeping track at home,
5:25
you now have Thornhill GM Superstore in Chamanville, the Thornhill Ford location in
5:29
Chamanville, Thornhill Mitsubishi, also the Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram location that's at the
5:33
Fountain Play Small in Logan. So I think I got all that right?
5:38
Is that right? You got one left out, one left out since I
5:42
left to tell us about that one. Yeah, that's our used car outlet.
5:46
We're in Belfrey, Kentucky. Oh yeah, yeahcky, And we're really
5:49
proud of our Kentucky store. I always say, we've got cars on the
5:53
motor mile from miles and miles of cars from West Virginia to Kentucky. Now,
5:57
maybe you should change it to the Thornhill Motor Miles miles. Put the
6:00
ass on that's right now. One of the things I love about the Thornhill
6:03
Otter group is you guys really believe in giving back to the community. And
6:08
this thing is going to start I think around ten thirty. So this morning
6:11
you've got refreshments, and you've got prizes and so on and so forth.
6:14
I think the Chamber of Commerce there is going to be involved. So it
6:16
really is a big deal, not only for that area, but while I
6:19
mean, let's face it, you sell a lot of cars in Charleston and
6:23
in Huntington and every place that this and all of our radio stations go.
6:29
Beckley, Pipeful, Presensburg. We know with City's marketing, she's actually at
6:35
it, and our digital marketing people come here for the deals the trade,
6:42
the inventory and the service, you know, our Thornhill family and getting with
6:47
Nathan and City involved in the business. We're really excited. We've got the
6:50
future laying out in front of us. You know, I'm not going to
6:54
be here forever, but they will take over and run these stores and run
7:00
and they just take it off like we did when I was younger with enthusiasts,
7:04
and we still believe in this community and we believe in West Virginia.
7:10
Want to talk about the brand name Toyota. I mean, you know,
7:14
you sell a lot of different cars, all makes and models that you're different
7:16
dealer's just plus yousel just about everything as far as pre own goes too.
7:19
But man, when you talk about Toyota and you talk about the signature vehicles
7:24
of Toyota, you know from Tacoma Is to the to the fore Erunner to
7:28
Camery. I mean, it is a solid, solid name, Wally,
7:32
it is. You know, Toyota was a great asset to the group.
7:36
And as we do, we feel the places that we don't have you know,
7:40
you take a Corolla or camera, we don't have some dands at the
7:45
other stores now and that feels a void that you know, you don't have
7:48
to travel somewhere to get it. And the thing about it is, we're
7:50
going to do the deals or we're going to take care of people. You
7:54
know, then you get into your forerunners, your Tacoma's, you know,
7:58
your mainstays, your Rabs. It is really good to go along with,
8:01
you know, with our other stores. It's a great blea. But you
8:03
know, today I'm talking about toyot and I really appreciate the cat team that's
8:07
the centralantic Toyota team, believing in us. That's saying that, you know,
8:11
not just anybody can get a Toyota store. We had to go through
8:15
a lot of hoops and one of them was to redo this facility and it
8:20
had been needing it for a while, but we brought it into the main
8:22
stay that we had the newest facility in West Virginia, and we're really excited
8:26
about it. And again, when you talk about where you're located, you
8:28
know, we're in downtown Charleston, but I mean to get to the dealership
8:31
in Charles in Chapmanville, You're talking like a forty five minute drive from downtown
8:35
Charleston. If even that absolutely, unless you're Martha, if you get there
8:39
real quickly. That's while he's wife Martha these throwing under the bus this morning
8:43
for driving a little bit of a you know, of the lead foot at
8:46
times, you know, it happens. And as I said, Wallder,
8:50
We've got a lot of great things going on down there. There's all kinds
8:52
of prizes. All of our stations were going to be there. I saw
8:54
them out in the parking like getting ready. I know that Jenny's from V
8:58
one hundred and sent it down Woody Woods from the be to setting down.
9:01
As I said, I'll be doing double duty with the Mountain and also a
9:03
WCCHS rob reel from our morning show on Superstar Country ninety six to one KWS
9:09
is going to be heading down there as well. So it gonna be like
9:11
a family reunion for me to get to come down and hang out with you
9:13
guys. Because I was texting back and forth with the Sydney earlier this morning.
9:18
I've done a couple of live broadcasts from Thornhill over the years. Wally
9:22
can imagine that we've a lot of they sold a lot of cars. But
9:26
you know, Sidney and I were here at midnight last night. We're up
9:28
early she's up early and we're really taking a lot of pride in today.
9:33

9:37

9:41
anybody stop by just check us out. Don't have to buy a car.

10:31
don't have to buy a car, just make that short drive down to Thornhill
10:35

the Marshall Thundering Herds. It gets set to take on utsay. The voice
14:11
of the Thundering Heards, Steve Cotton, is going to join us. Talk
14:13
about that a little bit later on in the show, the newly appointed Serga
14:16
Judge her Kanawuh County Dave Hardy joins us. Now, Dave, good morning,
14:20
How are you? Good morning? Dave, good to be here?
14:22
Is it officially Judge Hardy yet? Have you gone through the swearing? So
14:26
you're not that's why you didn't wear the robe in this morning? Right?
14:28
Indeed it is, and that's why I had Jeff Jenkins call me Dave,
14:31
not Judge, might be a little bit cold to wear that robe today,
14:33
You're right. So when there's the swearing, is there is there a date
14:37
set for the swearing? Yet? The Supreme Court has pointed out that there's
14:39
a state statue that requires three weeks from the time the governor appoints you to
14:46
the time that you're sworn in. At least three weeks so that would put
14:48
me into the first week of January, and then I'm working on scheduling now
14:52
about when the actual swearing in ceremony will be. My daughter's hoping to come
14:56
in from California. Oh, that'll be great. Asked me for something I
15:01
usually I usually said, that's all, as a good dad should do.
15:03
And you know, Dave, we just had you on the show a couple
15:05
of weeks ago to talk about your candidacy for the bench and you told me
15:09
then you were hoping to get that appointment to fill out the rest of the
15:11
term of the Believe Judge Habit and you got us a congratulations. Well,
15:15
thank you, Dave. And I've said up before and it's not It's absolutely
15:18
true. I will never be as good a judge as Judged Habit was.
15:22
She was that good. I'm just trying to be the best I can be,
15:26
and I'm really looking forward to it. I got talked to Judge Tabit's
15:30
secretary and her folks this morning, and I plan to go down tomorrow and
15:35
meet with them. So it's it's going to be a bettersweet moment. It
15:37
was quite a legacy the Judge Tabit had, and you know, there's those
15:41
people in any community across America, Dave, and you know this as well
15:46
as I do. There are those people that truly make their mark on the
15:48
community. Maybe people that may have been touched by Judge Tabitt, that never
15:56
think for her. Maybe we're involved with her in some sort of a social
16:00
setting or some sort of a charitable event or whatever. And I did not
16:04
know her very well, wasn't friends with her, so to speak, by
16:07
I didn't know who she was. And she just was one of those people.
16:11
I mean that seemed that everybody liked. Nobody really had a bad word
16:15
to say about not only what she did in the courtroom, but more importantly,
16:18
Dave, what she did out of the court room. Absolutely, no
16:22
question, completely and totally a community servant. And that's a word the words
16:26
that often get overused, not overused in Judge Tabit's case at all. So
16:32
you had been serving a state revenue secretary. That job now goes to former
16:34
delegate and special advisor to the Governor, Larry Pack. Had Larry on the
16:38
show yesterday and he told me that you and he had graduated from East Bank
16:42
High School together in the same graduating class. But he couldn't remember which one
16:48
was older, So please state for the record, sir, who is older.
16:52
Larry pack is older, Okay by about six months I had Packer.
16:56
If you're listening, you're older. It's been verified. I believe he's already
17:00
had his birthday in November. And I will see how good my memory is.
17:03
And he said, yesterday talk I told him you were going to be
17:07
on the show. He said, not bad for a couple of boys from
17:10
that part of the world. That's right, Pratt And where's Larry from?
17:14
Marmot? Pratt and Marmette, So not too bad. Did you call him
17:18
what you call the Marmette Flash or speak him all the time? Larry used
17:22
to be the recorder of Marmett way back back in the eighties. And I
17:26
always tell Larry, you know, I'll always remember your first elected office.
17:30
It was Marmette recorder because that was his hometown. And Larry and I met
17:33
in the fall of nineteen seventy three at eastpank High School. We're sophomores.
17:38
We went three years of high school together. Then we both went to West
17:41
Virginia Tech and we both majored in accounting, so we had a lot of
17:45
classes together over that period of time as well. And I would imagine your
17:48
paths crossed professionally outside the political realm as well, that you guys kind of
17:53
your paths kind of went together too well. Larry. Larry went sort of
17:56
the CPA entrepreneur route and I went the law pres disrect but we would periodically
18:02
run into each other. Now our paths have intersected in a very good way
18:04
here at the Capitol. It's been a lot of fun talking to Dave Hardy
18:08
again. Talk. I want you were just on the show a couple of
18:11
weeks ago, but I want to talk about the different life experiences that you've
18:15
had, either personally or professionally, that you think will make you a good
18:18
judge. Okay, well, let me say this. I think Commissioner Carper
18:22
mentioned it the other day was appointed. He mentioned it in the newspaper number
18:27
one. I'm very proud of where I'm from, Pratte, West Virginia,
18:30
population four hundred and eight. If you haven't been there, you got to
18:33
go there, Dave. You've been there, I've been there. I've been
18:36
there, and from that you get a real strong feeling of what true West
18:41
Virginia is, and what people are and what people do and what people get
18:45
up in the morning and go to work. My mother was a housewife and
18:48
then she became a school cook ade at Pratt Elementary School, which was a
18:52
block from our house. My dad worked forty years at the Glasgow Kenora River
18:56
Plant Team fifty two to nineteen ninety two. I know what it means to
19:00
be a working West Virginian and I'm very proud of that. We then went
19:06
to college at West Virginia Tech, which was four miles away, so all
19:08
my formative time was spent in the Upper Kennall Valley. When I came back
19:12
here from law school in the fall of nineteen eighty three, I said,
19:17
I need to make my mark as an attorney in Charleston, West Virginia.
19:19
This is now my new hometown, and I've been here ever since. I've
19:23
represented miners, I've represented Umwa District seventeen, and I've represented some of the
19:30
largest companies that have ever done business in the state of West Virginia and everything
19:33
in between, plaintiff and defense side. The other thing I'm very proud of
19:38
is I've been a college professor for twenty three years and I've taught at West
19:42
Virginia Tech University of Charleston, and now I currently teach at West Virginia State
19:47
in the Master's program. So why do I bring up all this stuff.
19:51
It's perspective. It's perspective. I've been here a long time, and I
19:56
feel like I understand the community from the South Hills to Saint Albans to Clintonen
20:03
to Montgomery and all points in between. I feel like I have a very
20:07
good understanding of the community. And there's some things that are going on in
20:10
the community now that make me sad. Like everybody else, I often say,
20:14
I can't go through the South Ridge Walmart and not come out set on
20:18
the other end and feel sad because I see a lot of things that indicate
20:22
that children are being neglected, that the drug issue has really basically inflicted a
20:30
terrible, terrible price on our nuclear families here in West Virginia. And now
20:34
I'm going to see that at ground level. I saw it at the Capitol
20:38
from a policy level. Now I'm going to see it at ground level,
20:41
and I'm going to see what not having a job and being on drugs looks
20:47
like. And it's not going to be pretty. And I understand that.
20:49
In addition, though at the same time, you have plenty of other cases
20:52
that go on in the kenaw County Circuit Court that involve multimillion dollar disputes,
20:57
medical malpractice, commercial disputes. You have criminal cases that have constitutional issues involved
21:04
where you have right to a speedy trial. This is a very diverse docket,
21:08
so it's easy to focus in on the abuse and neglect docket, which
21:11
has now become almost all consuming for all the circuit judges Abuse and neglected Children'll
21:18
let that sink in a minute. But at the same time, you've got
21:21
multimillion dollar cases that need to be heard as well. So it's going to
21:25
be very diverse. But part of what I think I bring to the bench
21:29
is I'm diverse. I've been around a long time, and I think I
21:32
have a good understanding of the local bar in the fabric of this community.
21:37
Talking with Dave Hardy again, the newly appointed circuit judge here in Kanawha County.
21:40
Dave Allen Show on five eighty Live is brought to you by bright Way,
21:42
the Maze Agency of tays Valley. Buy an auto insurance can be complicated.
21:45
That's why you need a local person to look out for you. At
21:48
bright Way the MAZE agency that can customize your policies with coverages that you need
21:52
and want, called John and Sherry Mays three zero four eight one four to
21:56
two fives A right way MAAIS dot com. So what kind of preparation are
22:00
you doing, Dave, to get ready for this new role? I mean,
22:03
you know, for somebody that's obviously a total novice of this, are
22:07
you, I mean are you? Are you studying past cases? Are you
22:11
looking at statistics? Because you talked about the problem with abuse and neglect here
22:14
in the area. What kind of prep goes into preparing for you now on
22:18
abuse and neglect? I had my prep already at the Capitol. I got
22:21
to hear about the fact that there are about sixty six hundred children at any
22:25
given time in the custody of the state of West Virginia, and that we
22:30
had a serious situation with the lack of child protection workers in Kinaw County.
22:36
So I've gotten my prep on that and we addressed a lot of that through
22:38
the reforms at DHHR and the budgets. As far as the day to day
22:44
operation of being a judge, I've talked to Judge Row, the judge from
22:49
Greenborough County that's now mining the docket and has been since August first Judge Unfortunately,
22:55
Judge Tabitt had to take a leave of absence and Judge Rowe took over
22:57
her docket. I've talked talk to the circle clerk, Kathy Gatson to make
23:02
sure I understand the mechanics of how things work. I've talked to Judge Tabit's
23:06
secretary to be sure that I understand the mechanics of the docket. And then
23:11
of course I've talked to retire Judge Duke Bloom as well, and I plan
23:14
to talk to retire Judge Kaufman, and then I plan to talk to my
23:18
colleagues there I Judge Webster, Judge Selango, and Judge Acres particularly. I'm
23:26
planning to talk to all of them, and Judge Ballard, all of them
23:30
if if I missed anybody. But but I'm really looking forward to going down
23:33
there. I'm going to be at the courthouse tomorrow and I planned to go
23:37
down there and I'm going to close my mouth and open my ears. Yeah,
23:41
go down with legal pad no pun intended in hand, and just start
23:42
taking some notes because it's what you have to do sometimes. And so let's
23:48
talk about because you are you You had said that you hope to be appointed
23:52
to this and uh and you were, But you still got to run if
23:56
you want to keep the job that you haven't started yet. That makes any
23:59
sense. Yeah, so let's talk about I mean, how's the campaign going
24:03
to look for you? Because by the time that you really start campaigning,
24:07
you know, and we get because again and we start insanely early now with
24:11
campaigns, but by the time that you really get into the heart of it,
24:14
you will have already had some experience. So what's the campaign? Look?
24:17
That's right, As you have pointed out, the appointment that I received
24:19
from the governor is for calendar year twenty four, so the term ends a
24:25
year from now twelve thirty one, twenty four. So I do. I
24:27
am running standing for re election to the court for an eight year term on
24:32
May fourteenth. The way the judges are elected, it's a nonpartisan election.
24:37
There's no primary in general, you just run one time. It's like the
24:38
school board. I've already gotten out early. I filed for pre candidacy papers
24:44
on November one. I had a couple of very successful fundraisers And you say,
24:48
well fundraisers, you know, is that just about money. No,
24:52
it's not. If you can have successful fundraisers, that means you have support,
24:56
and that's I equate the fundraiser with support. I've been out to the
25:02
bar. I've went very very aggressively to the Kennaugh County Bar. I've been
25:06
a member of the Kanak County Bar for forty years. I've been into every
25:10
law firm in town that will have me and done what we call meet and
25:12
greet, where I set around and did a round table to try to understand
25:17
what the expectation is from the bar as a judge. And you know what's
25:22
surprising, and it's really not surprising, but it kind of was to me,
25:26
is it doesn't matter your political persuasion or your philosophical viewpoint about the law.
25:32
Most attorneys just want the very same things out of a judge. They
25:34
want you to be prompt, They want you to hold your hearings when you
25:38
say you're going to hold them, and they want you to rule on the
25:42
case, no procrastination, rule on the case. They need that continuity,
25:49
they need that certainty, and their clients need that. And those are the
25:53
things I can say I can do as a judge. You know, when
25:56
you run for judge. There's a special set of rules that apply to the
26:00
state bar. I can't be out here promising any particular thing other than what
26:04
I just said that I can do. I will be the best judge.
26:07
I will work as hard as I possibly can. I'll apply all my experience
26:11
of forty years, and I will be prompt, and I will rule.
26:15
I want to talk about your time in the classroom for a little bit.
26:18
What kind of professor is Dave Hardy. I'm a to be honest, I'm
26:22
a comical, fun professor. And I'll tell you why. I have seven
26:26
years of undergrad school in law school. I have to say I had some
26:30
really good ones and I had some really bad. Sure, just like any
26:33
profession is exactly. And when I became a college professor, it's only twenty
26:36
seven years old. When I started being really professor, yeah, nineteen eighty
26:38
six, and I said to myself, I want to be the professor that
26:42
kids will listen to, and to do that you have to almost be a
26:47
little bit of a performer. And so I'm a fun professor. But I
26:51
also I'm not afraid to raise expectations and make sure that young people are challenged
26:56
in the classroom. So I have this thing where I call people out by
27:00
name. I have the class roster in front of me, much like law
27:03
school, and I will say, well, Dave Allen, since you clearly
27:07
weren't paying attention there, why don't you tell me why you weren't paying attention
27:10
trying to have flashbacks here? Yeah, this has happened before. Bring this
27:14
is PTSD for me. Man, this has happened before. You'll have a
27:17
bad dream. And I actually challenge the students. And I've done everything from
27:22
very large classes business law. I taught business law West Virginia Tech for years.
27:26
We'd have seventy kids in the class. Now I do master's level and
27:30
I'm teaching the master's Public Administration program at West Virginia State, which is a
27:33
great program, by the way. And the students I have are mainly young
27:38
adults, so I've seen it always. But the theme in my teaching is
27:44
I challenge you in the classroom. Okay, got a text here, and
27:48
I'm almost hasn't to bring this up, but it is a question that came
27:52
in from a text or to well, let you address hoever you want.
27:55
It says, we'll judge for beIN employed I plan to meet with Judge Tabit's
27:59
former stuate, and I had her favorable reviews about all all her former staff,
28:04
and I was very sensitive to that because they've been through a lot.
28:07
Well yeah, I mean, this isn't like somebody that you know, beat
28:11
in an election or something. This is somebody that tragically passed away. So
28:14
it's kind of a different, different situation, very much. And I wanted
28:17
to wait until the governor appointed me before I went down and met with the
28:22
staff and saw the office and that kind of stuff. So I'm planned to
28:26
do that at nine am tomorrow morning. Uh Tex says it was very good
28:30
to hear Dave Hardy on the air. I went to school with Dave and
28:32
Larry. Of course, I'm much younger this one. I know who it's
28:37
coming from because this was actually a text of my personal phone here from somebody
28:40
I know. I'm a you need to wrap this person at Vicky Jackson.
28:42
Oh my god, Vicky Shoemate Jackson. Yes, mate, Vicky and I've
28:48
been friends for a number of years. And sorry, Vicky, you just
28:49
got rated out on the air. So but that was a taxi gid to
28:52
my personal phone, all right. So first day on the bench. Let's
28:56
say first day tomorrow. It's not, but let's just say your first day
28:59
tomorrow. What are you doing day one? What am I doing? Day
29:02
one? The first thing I want to do is make sure I understand the
29:06
docket. What's the breath and scope of the docket. What cases are going
29:11
to be urgent that need to be heard now? What cases do I need
29:14
to put time frame orders in on to keep them moving, and what cases
29:18
I need to start trying to figure out how to get them to settle.
29:22
So that'll be the first thing I do. I'll take a global look at
29:25
the docket. Okay, Well, Dave, Merry Christmas to you and your
29:29
family, and I hope you have a happy New Year. Best of luck
29:33
on day one and you're swearing in and things of that nature. And then
29:36
you have to turn right around and start campaigning a little bit as well as
29:38
best you can, because again the rules are a little bit different for judicial
29:41
candids. I will give you the last thirty seconds just to thank anybody or
29:47
just talk about whatever you want to last thirty second, George, number one,
29:51
I want to thank the Kennall County Bar for being so positive and open
29:55
to me. When I said that I was interested in being a judge.
29:59
I want to thank the Judicial Vacancy Commission for putting me through a very strenuous
30:03
process, including a twenty four page application and a length in a twenty minute
30:07
interview, for recommending my name to the Governor. And of course I want
30:11
to thank the Governor for the past seven years that we've worked together to make
30:15
West Virginia better. We've had a very good financial picture in the last seven
30:21
years, and I certainly am grateful to the Governor for giving me this opportunity.
30:25
All right, wish it a best of luck of everything and congratulations,
30:29
end appointment again, Good luck out on the campaign trail. We'll talk soon,
30:30

34:01

34:05
try to find those. Well. Tonight, it's bull night for the Marshall
34:07
Thundering Herd as they get set to take part in the Scooters Coffee Frisco Ball
34:13
in Texas. The voice of the thunder and Heerd, Steve Cotton, joins
34:15
US Now live from Texas. Steve, good morning, how are you?
34:19
Good morning? Dave? Doing well? Thank you for taking time out of
34:22
your bull prep to be here. Now. You know, we can always
34:24
talk about the weather. We've had cold champs and snow squalls over the last
34:29
twenty four hours here in the canalf Valley make us feel bad. Steve.
34:32
How's it looking in Texas? Well? It has been pretty warm. Yesterday
34:38
the high was about sixty and you know, relatively warm. The day before
34:44
I think it hits seventy. Now it cools down quite a bit at night.
34:46
Kickoff is not until nine o'clock Eastern time tonight, so it's going to
34:50
be a bit chilly for the folks sitting in the stands at the Pro Soccer
34:53
Stadium here in Frisco, Texas, just north of Dallas. That's where they
34:58
play this Bowl game in a soccer facility. And talk about that stadium,
35:01
Steve, very nice, well done. It's a bit unusual in that it's
35:07
not necessarily built for football. The field's fine. The field is just like
35:13
anything any other football field. I'm talking about things like the skyboxes and all
35:17
that sort of thing. In fact, they really don't have radio facilities,
35:22
so the Marshall broadcast and the UTSA broadcast are in sky suites. The things
35:31
that are used for you know, the big dollar donors. In the soccer
35:35
seats. Nobody was in there, and it's very it's fine. It's it's
35:38
a little bit unusual kind of space, but it's it's fine and it will
35:43
cause no problems for the broadcast. But so it's it's a little different,
35:45
but it's nicely done and it's been in first class experience down here for the
35:51
players I've only been here a couple of days since we stuck around and did
35:55
the basketball game Saturday night. But they, you know, the players got
36:00
to go yesterday on a big tour of the Dallas Cowboys. Now you're talking
36:04
my lage. Yep. They really enjoyed that. They've had other, you
36:08
know something every day for the teams, up and up through it yesterday and
36:13
then all of a sudden you get the it's found the business of a bowl
36:15
game. So it's been kind of a normal road trip kind of atmosphere the
36:21
last couple of days. See if I was looking at my Marshal history,
36:24
I don't know if you're aware of this or not. You probably are,
36:27
but on this date back in nineteen ninety two, this was the day that
36:31
Marshall beat Youngstown State for the one DOUAA championship in Huntington. Do you know,
36:37
Dave, that is the last Marshall game. I was not at.
36:40
I came from Yep. How about that. Yeah, what a great day
36:45
though. I know so many people who were at that game and just talking
36:50
about the emotions and sitting there in the stands crying, tearful, joyful.
36:54
Tier you know, what a national championships. Shouch moment for anybody. Now,
37:00
let me jump back for just a second. You may have seen this
37:05
stadium in Frisco. That's where they've been playing what is now the FCS and
37:08
the one double A national championship game for the last several years. So if
37:12
you've checked out any of those recently, that's where Marshall and UTSA will be
37:16
tonight. Okay, well, I can tell you I was a Marshall student.
37:20
I was just wrapping it up there in ninety two, and I can
37:22
tell you what it was like. You know that that Collingstown State game there
37:27
at the JONT tonight's game, Steve Marshall by will be without Cam Fancher,
37:30
the quarterback who's into the transfer portal. Cole Pennington will get the start for
37:35
the Herd. You think this young man is up to the task. He
37:37
has played two games as the starting quarterback during the season, was when Fancher
37:44
was injured, so he has that behind him, and a big difference for
37:47
him for this game is that he had a the full you know time since
37:54
Fancier went into the portal as Marshall's starting quarterback. In his head, you
37:59
know, he was kind of we weren't sure if he was going to play
38:00
or not when Panshin was injured and he ended up going in there. But
38:05
it's a little different now that for a good three weeks he has known he's
38:08
QB one and he's had all the first team reps and all that kind of
38:13
thing, So that stip. Now here's a big contrast though. You have
38:19
Cole who's making his third start and has yet to throw his first collegiate touchdown
38:23
pass. The guy on the other sideline name is Frank Harris Dave. He's
38:29
a seventh year senior who has thrown ninety two career touchdown passes and run for
38:35
another twenty eight touchdowns. So seven years. We had guys like that in
38:40
high school too. We called it getting held back back then. Yeah,
38:45
I think after the game he's supposed to go straight into an aarp. He's
38:50
still in the remake of Golden Girls there. Yeah. Any more notable absences
38:55
tonight for the Herd Steve Well also in the transfer portal have Trent Holler,
39:00
one of the starting offensive linemen, Caleb Coombs the number one receiver in terms
39:07
of a number of catches. Now, Marshall rotated so many receivers, you
39:09
wouldn't think that that's going to affect them as much as you know, your
39:14
starting quarterback or even an offensive lineman who's been out there most of the time.
39:17
So other than that, and you also never really know. Bull season
39:22
is so different. Guys opt out, and even if you don't opt out,
39:29
if you're thinking about trying to get to the NFL Draft, you tweak
39:32
your big toe and maybe maybe I shouldn't do this, like I don't want
39:37
to get hurt and you know, ruined by chances to prepare for the combine
39:40
or anything like that. So you know, and that's not completely new.
39:45
People have been opting out of bowl games so I guess more than a decade
39:49
now, but it's certainly more common. I think all over the nation people
39:53
are wondering, even on game day, who's going to be out there and
39:55
who's not one more reason to have to tune in to Shay of what does
40:00
actually happen. Yeah, and we'll actually have coverage of that game to night.
40:02
Again, it is a late kickoff nine o'clock from Frisco, and we'll
40:06
have coverage of that game following in our coverage of high school basketball tonight.
40:08
See before we let you go. Put a kind of rap on the on
40:10
the regular season. You know, it started out with so much promise under
40:14
coach Huff, and then the Herd stumbled mightily at various points about the season,
40:17
had some bright spots later in the season as well, a lot of
40:22
people's eyes a bit of a disappointment. I know it's not exactly what the
40:27
Marshall faithful and coach Charles Huff wanted, but here we are. Yeah,
40:30
and you had the great start four and oh now I'm not and included to
40:37
win over Virginia Tech. I'm not sure though that the Herd was ever as
40:40
good as four and oh felt you had to come from behind in those first
40:45
two games. You had the win over Virginia Tech, very nice, but
40:52
then yet a couple of things. The team might not have been quite as
40:54
good as people were thinking based on the record, And you had a few
41:00
injuries but all in the same spot, mainly on defense. Your two starting
41:05
safeties were out, your two inside linebackers, and all of a sudden you're
41:07
getting gashed up the middle, and it took a while to get that righted.
41:12
And as much as anything, now, guys got healthy and returned to
41:15
the field, but those freshmen who were backing them up, inexperienced guys got
41:20
more experience, and I think that, as much as anything, help the
41:22
team at the end, even when you still had the so called youngsters out
41:27
there, they had a lot of game experience, So that was something to
41:30
feel good about. They were backed into a corner, had to win two
41:34
out of the last three and did so, had to win the last game
41:37
to become Bowl eligible. And I think they've had you just watching the team
41:40
the last couple of days they're here. They it looks like a regular regular
41:45
season road trip at this point, and they want to go out and win
41:47
a football game. So being able to keep the team together through that much
41:51
adversity, I think speaks pretty well for what Marshall's had going this year.
41:55
I I agree, Steve. I was watching some of the TV coverage of
41:59
local stations last night and they were doing the showing the press conferences and whatnot.
42:02
The majority of players, at least the ones they showed on local television,
42:05
Y're Steve, they all had on cowboy hats. Any chance we're gonna
42:07
see Steve Cotton and a cowboy hat down there? You know? I think
42:12
that that just went to the players. And I guess I could go shopping
42:15
today, but I probably better My time would be better served getting ready for
42:19
the product, which you gotta do right now. Steve. I know you're
42:22
busy. I appreciate you taking time out of your schedule to join us.
42:24
Go Herd and uh well, we'll be checking out the game tonight. Although
42:28
it's a little bit late for old guys like me, We're going to try
42:30
