Article on Paul Smith's Experince -- Marshall's Young Thundering Herd

[Huntington Zebra]

Attached is an article that was in the Huntington's newspaper.  The "We Are Marshall" movie is to be on HBO in January and there have been a couple of articles in the paper prior to the cable broadcast.

Great article. Smith's words are very insightful. Reading about the loss paints a picture of a very disappointing loss for XU but hardly the loss that Marshall experienced during the crash. History shows that Xavier dropped football in 1973; another very disappointing loss for the Muskies but again, in the scheme of things, hardly the loss that Marshall suffered with such a loss of life.

However, just as the Thundering Herd experienced a rebirth, club football at Xavier has given rise to the continuation of a football tradition that deserves its place on Victroy Parkway. Here's hoping that all Xavier alumns will get behind coach Powers and his team.
