I'm looking forward to seeing the movie about the Marshall University football team that was decimated after a 1970 airplane crash took the lives of 75 players, coaches and boosters. "We Are Marshall," which opens Friday, has a local connection. Jack Lengyel, who was Fresno State's athletic director from 1983-1986, was the coach in charge of rebuilding the team after the tragedy. Matthew McConaughey plays Lengyel in the movie.
Here's Rick Bentley's interview with Lengyel. It gives an excellent insight into Lengyel, one of the best athletic directors to come through Fresno State.
