Can someone help me clear a couple of things up. I've read that Eric played soccer for a community team for most of his years at Columbine. And I'm pretty sure them bowling on the morning of 4/20 was a myth but I keep reading that it's not.

There was a bowling class on the morning of 4/20. Dylan and Eric were supposed to be there but didn't show up. So the actual bowling class isn't a myth, but them being there is.
As for soccer? I've never read anything about that or heard anything about that before. Doesn't mean it isn't true though, I've just never heard that. Maybe a more intense researcher will have a definite answer on that one for you.

Eric mentions his soccer team in his "I am"-poem back in '95 and mentions soccer/sports he played in some other writings as well. Peter Langman's research based on news articles and JeffCo's documents suggests that Eric played in a local soccer league for six years and actually played on the Columbine team as a freshman/sophomore.

Alright, I knew the bowling class was real. I just read an article that said they showed up for bowling class on the morning of 4/20 so it threw me off. As far as him playing soccer, I knew he played in his freshman year for Columbine. After that, I've read he played for a team outside of his school for the rest of high school. This I'm not sure of though

He played in a league when he was in Plattsburgh? I didn't know that. Thanks for that info!

I know he played baseball while in Plattsburgh, but I'm not sure on if he played in a soccer league while there. The Harris family moved to Colorado back in July of '93, so it's possible that the 'six years' of him playing in the local soccer league was exclusively situated in Littleton.

^ Oh yes, that's true. I always forget he completed middle school in Littleton.

I wonder if this will turn into something, unlike the full Frankenstein Roast video.

It would be super interesting to see Eric playing soccer.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] Randy told Bill via social media not to release the full "Frankenstein Roast" video because he got criticized for publishing photos of Dylan.

Wow, though I do see why Bill doesn't want to burn that bridge yet. I do know Randy does have a account on here but haven't logged into that account since Christmas. Randy is pretty narrow-minded so take what he says with a grain of salt.

It would be interesting to see some footage of Eric. But im suspicious with Bill promises. However, it only remains to wait.

Well, bad news. No idea if this is the truth or not. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I had the soccer video for YEARS and I may still have it on a VHS at my childhood home, we still have a ton, but it has been a really long time. So I might, but it will be a while before I can go back east, get the vids, take them to the library and watch hours and hours of footage... since I don't know anyone with a VCR anymore.

Eric did in fact play soccer for a few years, Dylan played too once. Sue's book details it, Chapter 13.
btw this was the summer of 97, between sophomore (10) and junior (11) year.

if you dont mind me asking, how did you get a hold of something like that? I'd assume it'd be a one off home tape the family kept and never shared for it to be able to get out like that, even though it is lost media at this point for now
