Big A Re: Twenty Years Ago, One Hit Changed Two Lives Forever

I remember this well.

I'm as big of a college football fan as you will find anywhere. This story makes football insignificant and reminds us of just how fragile life really is.

Great story. Thanks for sharing the story crimsonaudio and thanks for the video link UA Fan87.

Re: Twenty Years Ago, One Hit Changed Two Lives Forever

I can't imagine the guilt he must carry, that would be a heavy burden to bear even though it was clearly not his fault. I hope and pray that I never have to be a part of any story like this, it is great that he such a devoted man to Chucky, I am sure the friendship formed helped him cope with it, even though it must have been very difficult.

Hopefully, he can find solice every time he makes the trek there, I am sure it does help him spiritually and mentally to do just the little thing of cleaning the gravesite.

Thanks for posting,
Bama Greg
