The jet that crashed carrying the Marshall football team in 1970 was supposed to pick up Mississippi State in Baton Rouge later that night...

I vaguely remember hearing about that but I had forgotten about how that tragedy was connected to MSU.

Imagine if we would have had the 11 jefferson pilot game that day.

The Nate Ruffin story was featured in the movie, We Are Marshall. That's awesome you had a chance to work with him.

I remember hearing of this MSU connection somewhere, long time ago...too many brain cells ago.

Thanks for sharing, Rick.
