Football captains chosen

The selection of tri-captains for the football team this year has an interesting twist: one of the captains died in a car crash as a frosh. A touching, if strange way to honor his memory.

I found this article when I was looking for any evidence of a car crash that injured two Cornell football players last week. I may be rumor mongering here, but I'll give my source.

Last week I wrecked my car on 79 between Honness and Pine Tree. When I went to the wrecker yard to get my crap out of my car before returning to NYC (via rental car), the guy who let me into the yard pointed to a car in much, much worse shape than mine. He said that the passengers were both Cornell football players and that they "weren't going to be playing football again." Was this reported anywhere? Was he blowing smoke up my ass?
