Wichita State University football team plane crash - Wikipedia
I was on a shuttle bus to a Steeler game with my Dad the day after the crash. The lady in front of us heard us talking about the crash and she leaned back and said she had a nephew on the team and if we knew anything. Felt awful for her and hoped her nephew was one of the few survivors.
well we will be at Tailgate spot 357 starting Saturday a 1030 am!! so come on!! Would love to meet with you!
Art was a neighbor who lived up the street from us. The family was about as nice as a family could be. RIP Art.
So sad, both of those crashes. 
Not that I remember them directly, as they bookended my birth.
But to think how devastating both events must have been to their respective university communities… I can’t even begin to fathom it.
I have never seen We Are Marshall. Maybe I will watch it tonight

I’ve been lucky enough to know the real Reggie Oliver ( sadly he’s passed)
As well as the real Red Dawson ( who isn’t well right now)
Both had good stories. According to Reggie the beer Joe Hood told him to get was Falls City not what’s in the movie ( or vice versa)
Red had some interesting comments about January Jones who plays his wife Carol in the movie. His comments were directed about his wife and not January though
