[QUOTE="Cuyahoga Falls Eers_rivals, post: 131697697, member: 1759980"] He gets exactly what he deserves? Really, you obviously know the Rich that I do. When Rich learned (not from me) that my wife was terminally ill with cancer he made it a point to call her during his radio show and chat with her for 15 minutes about what it meant to be a WVU fan. Rich made my Mona Lisa, as I called her because it was a play on her birth name of Monia Elizabeth, feel special. And he made her children and grandchildren agog that a nationally famous coach would be caring and considerate enough to put her, not him, in the spotlight. After my wife passed away, Rich mailed me a note on WVU letterhead with his photo on it, to console me about my loss. That made Rich a lot better person that many on here claim at a time when I needed it. My family album, titled "My Mona Lisa," has photos of my wife as a child, during our courtship, during our 48-year marriage, our 3 children and 7 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren. And a treasured page, a with scanned copy of Rich's caring and consoling letter to me, right next to a photo of my wife's double grave with "WV" under her name and my name. Nobody is all bad no matter what those without personal contact with them think. I prefer to see the silver lining in Rich and how he made my Mona Lisa special. Rich's winning percentage just makes the cake richer. That's the off-field man that I remember from first-hand experience . . . twice! [/QUOTE]
