We are Marshall!
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.

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

Bring some tissues!!
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
