sprig Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Roche wasn't playing for the Sioux back then. Are you trying to start an argument Have seen the replay multiple times on ESPN, just can't remember who it was for sure. What year was it?

The Sicatoka Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 It was Mitch Vig. Mitch had just switched to wearing jersey 7 (from 13) for luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprig Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Should know better than to disagree with PCM Obviously the number 7 fooled me, must remember that from the video. Good googling, sic, I couldn't find the answer that quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxjoy Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 I had organic chem lab with Mitch, very cool guy. He pretty much refused to talk about "the check" because he felt so bad about what happened to Travis, and wanted to be respectful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MafiaMan Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 I've always been curious as to what happened with Travis. Last I recall, he was broadcasting games somewhere... One thing I wondered, though, was I remember back in college that he had a girlfriend who was "standing by him" throughout his ordeal. Whatever happened with that? I haven't heard any details about Travis' personal life other than the check. Anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Man Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Why not? It flows so naturally during a conversation! "Hey Mitch, how's class going? Psyched for the games this weekend? Nasty hit on Roy, wasn't it?" There was no hit on Roy, atleast not by Vig. Roy tried to check Vig, missed and hit the boards. It was a terrible accident and not something to joke about.

siouxjoy Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 ...you would ask him in class about it? I never said I asked him about it... but there are always those morons who don't know what is appropriate to ask a person. Have you ever been in an organic chem lab? Sometimes you sit for three hours watching a liquid boil...it's amazing the stuff that comes up in conversation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jloos Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Have you ever been in an organic chem lab?
