This movie looks goooood......I saw the commercial for it while watching the South Carolina-Arkansas game and eating an avocado & turkey sandwich, and got a lump in my throat so big that I couldn't finish eating...

scroll down to the header "Football Team Tradegy". Unfortunately Wichita State never fielded a football team again.
 
That's why I literally cringed when I saw the scenes in Beetlejuice with the dead football players.
