    OXFORD, Miss. (WTVA) - Ole Miss campus police ask students to behave at future baseball games following a recent incident.
    The university said students were reportedly throwing rocks at Georgia baseball players during last weekend's series.

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

    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.
