If you can help please do there is nothing more powerfull then pray ! god bless ! and thanks phil Just to make it I really really really hope that nothing like this ever happens to you ! Its hard to see good kids suffer !"

We get so caught up in the football season this time of year. We get so caught up in "ribbing" our long time rivals. That is ok, it is fun. It makes college football what it is. Then something happens that really puts things into perspective.

I know that it won't take much urging, but I urge each of you to go over there and offer your support and/or prayers to bulldurham's family and most specifically his nephew. I don't know him, and chances are neither do you, but does it matter? No, it doesn't. When it comes to prayer, the more people praying.. the more power and the better the outcome.

you've got my prayers

Just like how I felt after reading about Jasper Howard’s murder….as much as I love, obsess, crave, and live football….events like this put it all in perspective. God Bless

I'm not a praying man...

but I can tell you that my girlfriend, when she was 17, was in a horrific car wreck. She was in a coma for 3 solid months, and the doctors told her parents that there was little hope of her ever coming out of it, and even if she did, she’d likely be a vegetable, retaining little higher brain function.

She’s now 27, and finishing up her doctorate in Neuro-Pathology. She’s top of her class. She even single-handedly bio-engineered a virus that attacks Parkinson’s disease. She has defied everything that every doctor said would happen to her. I hope that this young man can do the same.

My families prayers are with you and your family bulldurham......

Tragedy is such a sad part of life. There need to be more restrictions put on young drivers. Especially ones under the age of 20 years old. Maybe a curfew, at 9:00pm all drivers under 20 years of age must be off the road or not be able to have more than one passenger. Something anything to help teach accountability behind the wheel. Automobiles are a powerful tool yet when someone is young they can sometimes be a little risky and not really know it. Not that this is what happened in this case it’s only my suggestion for the future of Americas young drivers. God Bless !

Your temper brings dishonor to my happy mooshu palace.
