So I have been a long time follower of the pack. I am writing tonight with absolutely nothing to do with sports or MSU. It was about a year ago this time when I was sitting in the hospital room with my dad. I would stay the night with him and as he would sleep, I would read the pack. It really helped to keep my mind off what was soon to happen. I enjoyed the readings and it kept my mind clear. My Dad fought the good fight but in the end it was too much. He was in a Miami hospital when I left him, I had to return to my family in Houston. When I left, I knew I would never see him again. The next time I flew home was for his funeral. Not trying to be a downer here, but reading the pack really kept my spirits up. I am a former player for JWS and it is very entertaining to read the posts. I am in the dumps again because my mom was diagnosed with cancer 3 weeks after my dad passed. Its been a year now but she has given up. It is a very tough time for me but I did want everyone to know how much more there is to this board than just sports or bashing Ole Miss. Sometimes this is a place to escape and that is exactly what I have used it for. As a former player, do not take the football season too seriously because I promise you, the players dont take it nearly as serious as some of you do. Yes, the Egg Bowl brings back great memories but they were not all Football. It was great as a player to talk with our northern competitors before and after the game. During the game, yes we hated each other but, we always respected each other.
To the pack and some nafoomers, thanks for helping to keep my mind off what really matters.
