Wichita State

Rating: Null/10 (20 August 2009)

Six weeks before the crash of the Marshall University football team, Wichita State suffered the same loss when one of two planes crashed in the mountains of Colorado on their way to Utah. I felt the same sick feeling when I learned of this news and watching the movie brought it all back. I felt it would have been nice to give Wichita State just a brief word if nothing more than a nod to them. As a Shocker fan it was one of the worst moments in my life. However, I understand this was about Marshall but since the two tragedies of mid-major universities happened so closely together that it would have been a nice gesture. Also, Marshall has been able to stay in football while WSU dropped their program. I have to say, too, that I have a special place in my heart for Marshall and am always happy to hear when they win.
