Duckie...I read that article in the Baton Rouge Advocate yesterday....what a story! What a great coach, team and fans. This story just reinforces that there are good people with big hearts out there.

I know...just wondering how it applied to the basketball game in the article.
Even in "Rudy," they didn't tear down goalposts. But they carried him off the field.

For me, it's the ultimate icon of celebration, whatever the event.
I love hearing stories like this. I wish there was a video of it somewhere.

I posted this earlier (in The Power of Perseverance thread) and it was ignored. But anyway, thanks for posting it again because it is a wonderful story and can definitely change some people's lives.

Oops, my fault. I seem to have missed a handful of posts this weekend. I'm just a bit distracted. I'd explain why, but y'all don't wanna hear it.

I wasn't upset, I'm glad the story finally got some looks. It's a great story. You just marketed it better

Speaking of Rudy, he's doing pretty well for himself as a motivational speaker.

I love the movie Rudy! I still cry every time I see it-- probably because I was only 1 semester way from graduating from college, and I was one of those kids that wasn't supposed to go to school (financial, social reasons, age, etc). I sat in the theater just cryin'. Still do!
Great article!
