Buckeyes Blow Out Herd, Holliday In Opener, 45-7

********************

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Famed gunfighter and gambler John "Doc" Holiday helped Wyatt Earp out of many a shootouts during their times in the "Wild West" of over 100 years ago, especially in the famous gunfight at the OK Corral in Tombstone, Arizona.
In that fight, Wyatt, Morgan and Virgil Earp, along with Doc Holliday, fought Frank and Tom McLaury, Billy Claiborne and Ike and Billy Clanton. Ike Clanton and Billy Claiborne escaped unharmed but both McLaurys and Billy Clanton were shot down by Doc and Wyatt.
Unfortunately, for John "Doc" Holliday in his first game as the Marshall Thundering Herd football head coach, this time he had no Earps, not much offense, mistakes aplenty while the guys across the way had a quarterback who looked very much like a gunslinger who might just be the Heisman Trophy candidate many national pundits have made him.
Playing the role of the winning cowboys in this shootout with Holliday's Herd, the No. 2 Ohio State piled up 529 yards of offense and held the Herd without an offensive touchdown as the Buckeyes shot out to a 35-7 halftime lead on the way to a convincing 45-7 season-opening victory over Marshall on Thursday evening at "The Horseshoe," better known as Ohio Stadium in Columbus.
105,040 were in attendance at Ohio Stadium for the opener. Another 4,000-plus crowded into Huntington, W.Va.'s Harris Riverfront Amphitheater to watch a free screening of the game on the Big Ten Network on a 273-square foot LED television screen, sponsored by the Big Sandy Super Stores Arena and Kindred Communications, including Marshall flagship stations The Dawg, 93.7 FM and SuperTalk 94.1 FM and AM 930.

The Border Battle On The Big Screen: Game Day

********************

HUNTINGTON - After waiting since last spring, during a rainy, wet Green-White Game that drew the second-biggest crowd in Marshall history...
Since last December, when a 6-6 Marshall team stormed back into Michigan and walked out with a bowl win for the fourth time in five games there...
For all the days of sitting watching practice through the spring and August...
ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!
The wait is over, Herd fans. Tonight, September 2, 2010 at 7:30 p.m., the Doc Holliday era begins with a bang, as the Herd travels to Columbus, Ohio for the second-time ever to face the Ohio State Buckeyes in football at "The Horseshoe," Ohio Stadium.
The Thundering Herd, coming off its first winning season since 2003 and first bowl win since 2002, will travel to take on the No. 2 team in the nation, with Heisman Trophy candidate (front-runner?) Terrell Pryor at quarterback and another power-packed team for Buckeye head coach Jim Tressel.

**************************

CLEVELAND, Ohio - The Cleveland Browns will honor former Marshall Thundering Herd and Browns center Frank “Gunner” Gatski, along with 15 other former Browns who are members of the Pro Football League Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio with the establishment of The Cleveland Browns Ring of Honor at Cleveland Browns Stadium this fall.
The Browns will pay homage to their great history, one of the richest in the NFL, by introducing the Cleveland Browns Ring of Honor. The initial group of inductees will consist of the 16 former Browns enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The names of these 16 greats will be prominently displayed on the facade of the upper deck of the stadium.
The Browns are also partnering with the Pro Football Hall of Fame to create a special season-long exhibit known as Heritage Hall.  This 4,600-square foot exhibition space will be located in Browns Town at Cleveland Browns Stadium and will serve as a tribute to the club’s storied past.
This area will consist of displays from the 16 Ring of Honor inductees, including their busts, as well as memorabilia and photography from the team’s history.
Gatski played for the Browns after playing at Marshall from 1940-42, starting at center and linebacker in the final two seasons. After serving in the U.S. Army infantry unit in World War II, Huntington High coach Johnny Brickles and then Marshall assistant coach (now Dr.) Sam Clagg, president of the Marshall Athletic Hall of Fame, arranged with the legendary coach and general manager of the Browns, Paul Brown, for Gatski to get a tryout for the new Cleveland Browns in the All-American Football League.
Gatski, from the mining town of Farmington, W.Va., became the only center for the Browns from 1946-56, helping the team to win the championship game in the AAFC for four straight seasons including an often forgotten perfect 14-0 season in 1948.
