Sorry if I missed this here on IE yesterday:

Rodney Culver died 20 years ago yesterday. I wasn't online much yesterday and didn't check into FB. I just did and all my Irish friends had something posted. 20 years man... where does it go?

There's a long read in the Tweet below by ESPN from last fall. Well worth your time if you missed it last year.

Wow, great stuff. Culver used to be one of my favorite players.

I just had a friend who worked for ValuJet at the time send me a note about this. He became a Notre Dame fan after the crash because of everything he read about Culver and ND in the time afterwards. He's a Tar Heel grad and (at the time) "needed a team to root for before basketball started"

Surprised no one responded to this.

Ok... the threads not broken.

I remember reading this when it first came out. Still can't get through it with dry eyes.
