    Fuck this nonsense

    In October 1970, Wichita State lost 31 people and 14 starters in a plane crash. Three weeks later they played #9 Arkansas, losing 62-0.

    A starting middle linebacker, who barely survived the plane crash, hobbled out there on his crutches for the coin toss.

    (After learning of the crash, Marshall reconsidered their only airplane trip scheduled that season. Instead of cancelling, they switched from two small planes to one larger DC-9 as they were thought to be safer. Oops.)


    Have ASU play Utah
    COVID BOWL!

    I knew the Wichita State story but didn't know the implications for Marshall.

    Dark shit man.

    My apologies for my GRIM suggestion, DDJ.
    I had so looked forward for our long-delayed meet-up for the scheduled Beaver waxing that I did not react well to hearing the event was imperiled.

    Hopefully my fellow Dawg historians do not mind the occasional Wichita St keyboard rant.
    If it please Her Grace, I can give you the full Shocker Experience.

    Back in those days the kids would walk uphill to school/home both ways in the snow bare foot then report for their 14 hour shift in the coal mines shortly after. They aren't breed like that anymore.

    First time I’ve logged on today and paid any attention to anything around the football slate this weekend.


    What a fucking shit show everything is. I’m a simple man. I don’t ask for much. I just want to watch some Husky football for the first time in 11 months.


    I guess I’ll just shut it down the rest of the day and most of tomorrow and see what happens once the evening comes.
