We Are Marshall

This is the true event on what happen in Marshall University Football Team.

November 14, 1970, On a rainy hill side in Wayne County, West Virginia, the lives of 75 people were lost in the worst single air tragedy in NCAA sports history. Among the losses were nearly the entire Marshall University football team, coaches, flight crew, numerous fans, and supporters. The event marked a boundary by which an entire community would forever measure time... before or after "The Crash". This site is a memorial to the lives that were lost on that evening; to honor those men and women who made a mark in the hearts of a school, a community and a nation.

6 players, 6 sons of Marshall, 6 teamates, 6 friends lost their lives due to this epic tragedy of plane crash included their coaches, common peoples

A year later, Jack Langley has been appointed to be their new head coach and responsible to reform new Marshall team. While many peoples are still grieving, Jack efforts has been ignored by many by saying to found new team will disgrace the deads.

Dedman, the sporting director never turn his hope off and believe Jack can bring the team back together but the NCAA  regulations wont allowed any freshman to play as therule stated the team in competitions must be a sophormore, senior student. The NCAA has turned down the application to allow freshman to play. Marshall are running out of time, the clock ticking. 

Jack said to Dedman: I believe u are married sir? Yes 25 years happily dedman replied. Jack continue as he said that he believes that dedman don't porpose his wife over phone, or even in the letter. 

Dedman drove over to Kansas in the rainy night to see the NCAA director for himself has he's got approved. The NCAA has make acceptions to allow freshman of Marshall to play for the season. while other team age average is 22 years 1 month, the Marshall was recorded 17 years 8 month team average.

What i am trying to tell you is what is most important things in life is the determinations, the believe of yourself, the believe that you can succeded in anything u do no matter what people say bout it. Keep believing youself.  

If we fails, its not forever we will be, maybe not today, maybe not tommorow, maybe not this month or this year but when the day comes, We will be a better person. I cry for the Marshall

Not because of the sadness but the inspires they has given to me. The determination, the believe of who i am and what i capable to do. Never give up on whatever we working on no matter how hard it was. Under that code, i have create the better of me, i have my confident to be anything that i want to be even it was not on my expertise.

The story has tought me that whatever we want to do, never turn back, never think that you'll never succeded, you will fails yourself and bring shame to yourself. 

eventhough i am not form Ohio's Marshall but they are closed to me, they are remain inside me, from them, i have learnt so many things. The joy, the tears of live, the hapiness, the sadness and sorrow. Winning is not everything, winning is the only thing. Kepp that to yourself and trust me. Someday you'll amaze how far you are pushing yourself to be a better person.

Trust me because we know who we are. I know who i am, because I am Marshall and forever it will be.
