Here. And, I was there immediately afterwards. Very emotional remembrance for this Longhorn.
"So long as an opinion is strongly rooted in the feelings, it gains rather than loses in stability by having a preponderating weight of argument against it."
The collapse The service at Reed Arena The eerie, surreal feeling out at stack sight that entire week The peremiter fence that filled up with memorabilia The Thanksgiving night candle light vigil at stack and then the walk thru campus to Kyle field for yell practice And of course the game itself
Here. I will never forget that morning and getting a call from my parents to see if me and my buddies were ok. May God bless all 12 and their families.
I was a student at the time. Had friends who were on it when it fell... they were on the "lucky" side. My girlfriend's (now wife) roommate was close friends with Chad Powell. Terrible day... terrible.
