This is about the footbal team the died in the plane crash in the 70's and how the city of Huntington West Virginia and Marshall University students wouldn't let the team die, and the people who re-built the Marshall football program. Its stars Matthew Mcconeghey and was fillmed at Marshall this past spring. May of my friends from school who are still in Huntington PA'd for this movie- or were extras, my friend Jon is a featured extra with a line in the film! Very exciting stuff. And I my self have millions of memories hanging outside the student center by the memorial fountain that was built to remember the team that died in the crash. I always thought it was a good story.

And for those of you reading who don't know- I went to Marshall University for 4 years. And I knew Chad PEnnington who now plays for the Jets. (he taught me everything I know about making comercial reels for radio. I worked with him at WMUL 88.1fm) He's a cutie and going to have a great career in Broadcasting when he is done playing ball. I also had two classes with Randy Moss (but I Randy's got bad Karma; don't even get me started-thats all I'm gonna say). My point is this story is the reason that Marshall's Football program is still here and at such a high level of excellence. (producing Heisman trophy nominees and NFL players) And they filmed it there- so those of you who never came to visit me while I was there, you can take a peak at the city at the corner of West Virginia, Ohio, and Kentucky, where I spent 4 years of my life in the mid/late 90's......good times......goodtimes.... : )
