    • A site I help run, thegamingtailgate.com, is aiding EA SPORTS in gathering information for NCAA Football 12 as to whether or not teams use a cannon as part of their game day experience.

    Here's a link to the information we have so far: http://www.thegamingtailgate.com/forums/content.php?360-Help-Shape-NCAA-Football-12-Cannons

    That said, we haven't been able to find information on Marshall and figured I'd ask your help with the information. Here is what we need:

    School: Marshall
    Cannon (Yes/No)
    Cannon Type (Modern Military or Classic Western)
    Fired After Every Score (Yes/No)
    Inside Stadium/On Field Level (Yes/No)

    Any information you could provide would be a great help. Thank you!

    • Didn't we have a cannon in the late 80's/early nineties.  I recall ROTC used to fire it when we would score.  I swear I recall it at Fairfield... but, can't seem to recall one at the Joan.

    • No canon is used, but we do use the bell sound a lot on third down.

    • So you want to know just about cannons or do you want to know about our game day experience too?   Because, we could give you a few things to make your game pretty cool for Marshall Fans...

    At 66 years of age I have been firing blanks (so my wife tells me)...I think it's more of a cap buster than anything.  ;) I do have a cannon arm


    We are looking for a cannon arm at MU hopefully AJ

    • We used to have a real buffalo that would try to eat artificial turf. But he's been turned out to pasture in favor of a fake one riding a hog.
