WSU football documentary on KPTS, Oct 8 @ 8pm

[shock49]

The documentary was one of the most compelling films I've seen!I also believe the best way to honor those who perished in the crash is to BRING BACK SHOCKER FOOTBALL!

I watched bits and pieces of it and it was a very impressive documentary. I was being recruited by WSU at that time (my Senior year of HS) for track and XC so I remember the crash very well. Next time it's on I'll make sure I watch all of it.

Has anyone that ordered the DVD receive it yet. I ordered it from KPTS around Oct 8th... Still waiting. Maybe they ran out?

KC Star article 10/18. It gives an insight on Dave Lewis that I wasn't familiar with. I hope he finds the peace he deserves.

Mitch Holthus had his weekly Chief report today where he always ties in a relationship to Eddie Plopa.

Seemingly, the Shocks used to play a lot of games on Thanksgiving and Mitch is going to chronicle each of those, once a year, through 2023.

Behind Linwood Sexton, the Shocks beat Colorado College on route to a Raisin Bowl appearance in 1947 and the Shocks were coached by Mitch's son in law's late grandfather (I think I got that right).

Remember, you can't play on Thanksgiving if you don't have a team.

Bring it back, Theodore, bring it back.

Class act by Arkansas. Regardless of the score, it sounds like the Shox had a lot of people in Little Rock pulling for them and giving them support.
