Sadly I really think there were some who didn't until they were told. It's kind of scary the lack of any historical knowledge some kids have.


I seriously doubt any young man attending that university as a football player didn't know who he was.

MAYBE one person on the team. Maybe.

While you and I and others understand the significance of Tillman's sacrifice I'm not sure there are a lot of younger folks who 1. no about it and 2. care until they are educated about it. Yes, there probably is a greater base around ASU with regards to Tillman but the out of state kids and very possibly those who didn't grow up around ASU and their athletic program probably didn't know about him. They were 9 or 10 and watching the X-games. Yes, your faith in that generation's(17-21)historical knowledge is greater than mine sir. And that is just some old fat bastard's opinion on the whipper snappers. Nothing more nothing less.
