The 1995 season saw the loss of the Posse and the move of the Gold Miners to San Antonio, while the Birmingham Barracudas and Memphis Mad Dogs were added.

[No title] The 1996 version of the Marshall Thundering Herd was the benefit of a very rare and beneficial set of circumstances that allowed it to claim the laurels of national champion for this season, and the superlative of I-AA's finest product ever in the minds of many. Add that to Marshall's past playoff experience, its standing as the host of the title game (for five straight years), and its previosuly anticipated and even announced move to I-A football which has already borne some fruit in terms of recruiting, and you have the makings of a team that is dominant. Perhaps the most obvious to everyone who is acquainted with the Herd this season is Randy Moss, whose fate brought him to Huntington after abbreviated flirtations with the more familiar college football cities of South Bend or Tallahassee. homepages.cae.wisc.edu /~dwilson/rsfc/history/96/PDunnIAA.txt   (2916 words)
