Marshall University

Marshall University needs to get off of their A#@ and start a wrestling team.

AB did it.
WV Tech did it.
Bluefield State is doing it.

Just what is the problem in Huntington?
Holy smokes. Braxton Amos works out with a landmine now!!!!!!

Bluefield College is doing it. Bluefield State is my alum, so I got excited when I saw the post that Bluefield College was starting a team until I realized it was not Bluefield State College.

I agree. Marshall needs to get with the plan. If small schools like West Lib, Alderson-Broaddus and WJU can manage a team then Marshall has no excuse.

Marshall used to have a wrestling team. I've got no idea what happened to it.

I saw in their yearbook that Darel Pickenpaugh was the coach. I believe he used to coach at Greenbrier East, back in the day, as well.
I bet he has an idea of what happened to the program.

If Marshall University would consider getting a wrestling program organized and finalized, they should only look within their own city to hire a coach, get Rob Archer to be the coach.

Ya learn something new every day. You are correct, Coach Pickenpaugh did coach at East until around 2011 or 2012. I had no idea he coached for Marshall. He never mentioned it a single time.

I was thinking I remembered something about someone trying to start a team a few years ago. I looked back and found this thread viewtopic.php?t=572 that says Title IX killed their old program. Marshall's "Quick Facts" page says they still have a club team.
