This online editor normally doesn't editorialize, but this picture is one of the most surreal things I've ever seen. |

These stairs once led to the second floor of the facility, but now they lead to nothing. |
Many groups, including other area schools, have already announced that they would help in any way they can. TSHSFR, in cooperation with TriStatePreps.com, is doing its part as well and has set up a PayPal donation fund. Send all donations to wvprepsfund@gmail.com.

The SIU football crew: putting faces to names
Listen to SIU highlight montage (1:59)
Sept. 7 - A record 757 people listened to WMUL's coverage of Marshall defeating SIU 31-28 Saturday at the Joan, so we felt it was appropriate to show you the staff who brought it to you. L-R: Bobby Iddings (sidelines), Dave Traube (spotter), Adam Cavalier (color commentary) and Ryan Epling (play-by-play). Here's a larger version.
The main reason for the record audience was that flagship station WDGG (93.7 The Dawg) is no longer streaming football games due to circumstances beyond their control. WMUL will partially fill the void, as we will be covering nine of the 12 games this season. We will not be covering the Tulane, UCF or UTEP games.
