FORTY MINUTES TO BATON ROUGE examines the life and tragic death of
LSU head football coach Robert "Bo" Rein at age 34. The fact that
Rein never actually coached a day at LSU muddies the emotional
waters and creates an unfortunate chasm between those who knew him
and those who never got the chance. Sadly, after only 42 days at
the helm, the evening of January 10, 1980 took a tragic and
unfathomable turn. While returning to Baton Rouge from a Shreveport
recruiting trip, Rein and his pilot Lewis S. Benscotter turned a 40
minute junket into a three hour 1,000 mile odyssey, that 40 years
later still has us scratching our heads. Rein's twin engine Cessna
441 would plunge 40,000 feet into the Atlantic Ocean 100 miles off
Cape Charles, VA. For LSU, the sadness resembled a new friend they
had just met and abruptly lost. For NC State, the loss was
devastation and utter disbelief. And for Ohioans...they had lost a
beloved son.
