My dad knew someone at the time who was friends of the family of Reckers girlfriend.  What he had heard at the time was they were together and broke up sometime after the accident as a result of the accident.  If I remember right a big reason was because of her condition.

Bingo...we have a winner

I was working with 7th graders in a computer lab and gave an internet quiz on the White House and White House.com is not the same as .Gov that's for sure.  That's before porn sites had to have xxx in address. My life flashed before my eyes

I used to play video games alot growing up.  I would get cheat codes from a site called cheat code central.  A friend from a very religious family wanted the web address. I just assumed it was ccc.com

Well it was actually cheatcc.com  so when his dad screened ccc.com he did not find cheat codes. I had alot of explaining to do.

According to this story, in an ESPN documentary, Kelly told Luke to move on without her.  This was after the accident.

ESPN show will elevate respect for Recker 

I am not able to find the documentary.  However, in one other story I found, Kelly said they were no longer boyfriend and girlfriend.... but do remain friends.

Still unclear to me, that they were or were not boyfriend/girlfriend at the time of the accident.

I was working as the watch supervisor in a USAF radar approach control when one of the controllers put the whitehouse.com address in the admin computer by the watch desk (said he was looking for info on the president...President Clinton at the time). There was an IT guy banging on the RAPCON door within 5 minutes. I had some splainin to do...

She spoke at IU auditorium one time while my wife was at IU.  If they are still friends then something must have changed.  She did not hold back her feelings for Luke one bit when she was talking.  Also the story you linked kind of brought back memories, I had always thought that it was too big of a coincidence that Shaw’s son was the one that helped get Knight fired.  Then when he says had he known the university was looking to fire him he would’ve handled it different, I call BS on that.  Shaw was one of BKs biggest enemies.  I still and will always feel BK was setup in that particular situation.  He did plenty other things to get him fired but that was too much of a coincidence for myself.

One of my former co-workers wanted to see what new sports equipment Dicks had and decided just to throw Dicks.com into the ol' web address bar and hit enter.....he didn't find any shoes or sports equipment going to that site.

Shaw's son (step-son right?) was a triplet. They used to come into Outback Steakhouse when I worked there and since they were triplets they were noticeable. Seemed like nice enough kids. I always thought that the interaction was random and as described and when they got home and told (step)dad you'll never believe what happened to me, Shaw saw it as his ticket to get Knight. Pure speculation on my part.

The story I linked is from 2006.  Kelly is now married.  However, this link gives the date when Luke and Kelly appeared on ESPN, to speak out on drunk driving. They were on ESPN in 2000, and would have had to been friends then to do the joint interview.

It was in 2001 when I heard her speak, that’s odd.  To be sure my dates are correct I will double check with the lady in charge and see.

There seems to be some enconsistentcies (sp?)  with the time line.  But the bottom line is.... things seem to have turned out well for Kelly.

She told us that she was pressured to do it and did not want to make Luke look bad. It was all for his image IIRC
