It's Thursday and that means another "Plati-'Tudes Story Time" that I hope all are finding interesting. This one has a small tie to CU, but I wanted all to take to a moment remember what happened about 35 miles southwest of the Boulder campus 50 years ago tomorrow (Oct. 2, 1970).
Forty-five years ago (Sept. 27, 1975), the Buffaloes defeated Wichita State in Boulder, 52-0. It was just the Wichita's fourth road trip west after one of its two charter airplanes crashed near Loveland Pass, killing 31 members of the travel party. Those who perished included 14 players, the head coach and athletic director (and their wives), staff, guests and three members of the flight crew; nine survived the impact.
