From Athens- "WMDMTM"

yankeedawg1, so much passes through my mind, especially at this time of the year. God bless Kaziah Hancock, and He has and will. The youtube video below was posted last year, and if I am around next year it will be posted again. At 12:01 p.m. on Memorial Day, stop and reflect on what you have and what these military personnel have given to allow so much of that. Thanks again YD1, know that many on this board appreciate kindness and a moment to reflect on the real "givers". Football is a beautiful game, these young folks have made it possible for folks like us to enjoy each others company.

I remember seeing this for the first time, I think it was on CBS's Sunday morning, and I cried as I watched it. I watched it again and I cried. Thank you sounds so trite and trivial in expressing gratitude to those who accept the call of protecting freedom. But "Thank You" anyway.

TN Dawg, this is a heads up and a high five to Dabo Swinney. Last year I got involved with the AJC, expressing my views on this young man with the hope that his hopes and dreams could be moved along to a D1 school. I am sure that the AJC was too consumed with their "Clicks" to see what a story like this could and would mean to any university. Now the entire media, nationwide has once again passed the AJC, they wonder why newsprint is a thing of the past. They no longer have folks like Jesse Ourlar and Furman Bisher.

Listen up . . . please. Too many players are allowed to become "football players" at any university if their family has a long history of "support". Nothing wrong with the support, have a problem with a young man without the "fighting spirit" that this young man has, and can wear the colors because . . . Jabo Swinney, UGA missed the boat on this young man. Remember folks . . . my opinion that can be backed up with years of "money talks". If you believe differently, you and I can have a serious discussion.

One simple question to many on this board . . . . Do you believe having 30 scholarships this season that the "spirit" of this young man could not somehow fit into the . . . . . "30"?

Dabo Swinney, good on you.

Buc, I remember when you posted the video last year. I said then and I will say now. That young man will be a leader among boys. Clemson is lucky to have him. And you are right all others who passed on him missed the boat. I hope he is cleared by NCAA compliance and gets his chance. He deserves it. Love his never give up attitude.

Thanks for posting again.
