HUNTINGTON, W.V. (AP) — Marshall has withdrawn from the Independence Bowl after a coaching change resulted in much of its roster jumping into the transfer portal. The Thundering Herd were slated to play Army on Dec. 28 in Shreveport, Louisiana. But the Independence Bowl and Louisiana Tech announced on Saturday that the Bulldogs will take on the 19th-ranked Black Knights instead. Marshall said it pulled out “after falling below the roster minimum that was deemed medically safe.” The Herd (10-3) beat Louisiana-Lafayette 31-3 last weekend to win the Sun Belt Conference Championship for the first time. The program has won seven games in a row in the same season for the first time since 2020. “We apologize for the nature and timing of this announcement and for the turmoil it has brought to bowl season preparations for Army, the Radiance Technologies Independence Bowl, the American Athletic Conference and ESPN,” Sun Belt Commissioner Keith Gill said in a statement. Coach Charles Huff left Marshall for Southern Miss last Sunday, and Tony Gibson, the defensive coordinator at North Carolina State, was announced as his replacement less than an hour later. By Thursday, at least 25 Marshall players had entered the transfer portal. Gibson held a meeting shortly after arriving on campus in Huntington to introduce himself to the team. He followed that up with phone calls, text messages and more meetings Friday and Saturday. “Any time coaches leave to take other jobs, it is emotional,” Gibson said at a news conference Thursday. “And kids that are 18-to-22 years old are going to make emotional decisions instead of just breathing for a day or two.” It's the first bowl for Louisiana Tech (5-7) since 2020. The Bulldogs have won two of their last three games, but they haven't played since a 33-0 victory over Kennesaw State on Nov. 30. “We are excited to accept the opportunity to play in the Radiance Technologies Independence Bowl against a fantastic and storied program as Army,” Louisiana Tech athletic director Ryan Ivey said in a release. “I believe our football program is moving toward positive structure and the opportunity to play in this bowl adds to that momentum. We are looking forward to being in Shreveport for this matchup.” Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here .

The Chairman of the Nigeria Professional Football League, Hon, Gbenga Elegbeleye, is very happy with the Match Day One results and conduct of the Nigeria National League (NNL). Speaking on Tuesday, Elegbeleye said he was wowed with the smooth opening of the NNL season. He added that a good start is always important in everything such that one can work towards retaining the good record set from the start. In some of the games, Abia Comets recorded an away victory Edel FC 2-1 While Beyond Limits were forced to a 1-1 draw by Dakkada FC and Inter Lagos also recorded 2-2 draw away at Ijele FC ground. Elegbeleye said: “I am so happy with reports we got from the NNL league that just started. The NPFL should work with the NNL to ensure the leagues are evolving in a perspective that we will say its growing and now we have the league of our dreams. We can go out there and win matches without undue favoritism for the home team. If you play well you will win. “That is the kind of football league that I want and the premier league is working on that. I’m sure if we go back to Nigerian football ecosystem, we will have a standard that all of us can be proud of and the Europeans will look at us and say there’s an improvement. “The consistency of keeping the league strong is that challenge before all the domestic leagues and this means we cannot afford to rest at all. We have to work, work and work to keep the standard at the expected level in all our operations.”
Medical Device Cybersecurity Solutions Market to Exhibit a Remarkable CAGR of 22.10% by 2030, Size, Share, Trends, Key Drivers, Demand, Opportunity Analysis and Competitive OutlookThank you, President Biden. Thank you for the person that you are and reminding us of what kind of person we want to look up to and see in the highest office in our land. Thank you for trying. Your efforts were beyond good given the overwhelming odds against success. You brought sanity back with people around you who believed in justice, law, respect for tradition and a government with separate constitutional branches designed to manage a nation of multiplicity and diversity in a democratic system. A democratic society, a point you constantly made as you tried to nudge us back to a common identity we had lost. You led us out of a crippling pandemic with respect for science and empowerment of thousands of people who knew how to get the job done. You paved the way for infrastructure improvements and brought manufacturing and good-paying jobs to our states, a fact that is less apparent now but will be undeniably true over time. You stood for civil liberty, personal choice and autonomy. You listened to science, respected experts, made health care better, supported and protected our technological expertise, and focused policy on healing our environment. You restored our place in the world community. You quietly brought vision back to a citizenry blinded by fear, mistrust and misinformation. We should have sensed in the softness of your voice, the tongue tripping over words and the gait almost tripping along the way, that you were feeling your age despite your best efforts and we ultimately failed you. We should have insisted and prepared for a transition of leadership that would complete the mission. There are many amongst us who believe this country has been blessed and is guided by the hand of providence. It’s proclaimed on our currency. The great Russian novelist and historian Alexander Solzhenitsyn once said America is the last best hope for mankind. There’s a ring of truth in that. Progress is not a straight line. As hard as it may be to endure, change only comes through upheaval. History proceeds through turbulent waters. The tranquil lake is our restful reward. You told us you wanted to be the bridge over troubled waters into a promising future. That you were. You and your team conceived a plan and set it in motion and we as a nation will reap the rewards in years to come. History will mark the time of your presidency as the beginning of a new era that others will benefit from, even those who opposed and thwarted your efforts. The world thanks you President Biden. It is we who let you down by not making you see when your job was done and when to lateral the ball. You deserve so much better. Patrick J. Moriarty Waterbury
