RIP: Tyler Trent....

To quote someone on twitter: "Cancer did not beat Tyler Trent. He kicked its ***. Because of all he did, cancer is now a weaker foe than it was before the nation knew him!"

It’s really amazing how a kid like this puts everything in its proper perspective. The game of football was an outlet for him to forget the dire circumstances he faced. However I wonder if he truly realized in turn the lives he touched with his courage and passion for the game he obviously loved. Years from now the fans and players, both from Purdue and other teams they played, will forget a lot of the games and scores but will still remember in detail the courage of this twenty year old student. I hope they also remember the power they had to bring an outlet and comfort to someone suffering from such a terrible illness.

Sad day. It's about appreciating what you have for the time you have it.
