"We Are Marshall"

"We Are Marshall" is the best show this writer has seen in a long time. This is a true story based on a tragic airplane crash that involved the Marshall football team. 75 members of the Marshall football team coaching staff and fans were killed in the crash. The movie is about grieving families and the leadership of Jack Lengyel, a young coach who was determined to rebuild the football team. By doing this he helped a community heal and gain strength.

This is a movie where you don't look at the watch to see if it is about over. It is a great movie and the acting is superb. You can feel the emotions of each one of them. Matthew McConaughey as Jack Lengyel and Antony Mackie as Nate Ruffin are tremendous. Matthew Fox as Jack Dawson does such a great job.

Go see this movie. It is true, well acted, and will have an impact on your life.

Josh Pfeifer of Holdrege was 37-0 going into the State Wrestling meet. He was beaten inhis second and fourth matches. Josh broke the wins, pins, and total points records for Holdrege this year. He ended the season 39-2 and should be proud of his career as a wrestler.

Kansas plays the NU men's team today. Look for this one to be closer which isn't saying much. I think NU will keep it within ten. Predicted score 65-56, Kansas.

What are your predictions for this game?

First, it's Mathew McConaughey, not Anthony. I'm sure this was a simple mistake.

Second, Kansas game was not close. I didn't see it, even though it was suppose to be on TV, but we had to have looked real bad. I don't think Kansas is this much better than Nebraska. We should be able to keep it within 15 points most of the time. Come on!
