Title: On this day in 1970 Post by: Tnphil on November 15, 2013, 02:23:58 EST The Marshall Thundering Herd lost 75 members of its football team in a tragic plane crash. I remember it like yesterday.
Marshall is playing Tulsa tonight on FoxSports1.

We've talked about that day and the weeks that followed on several occasions. I was in the room with he and some of the other coaches as they watched the movie when it came out. It was interesting to hear him talk about the events that were being portrayed and how Hollywood took liberties with them.

It was basically nothing more than a collection of montages. :frown: Title: Re: On this day in 1970 Post by: Screaming Eagle Dad on November 15, 2013, 03:50:55 EST I hated that movie.
