Got this email today. Very cool story no matter the team.


Subject: What a great story! Roll Tide!


The little boy pictured is terminally ill and has a very short period of
time to live. The illness has also recently caused him to go blind. A cold
call was made to the University of Alabama and after verification that the
story was true a meeting was set up with the team, the boy and his family. I
was told they spent like 5 hours with the boy and toured the whole facility
and that the players stayed with him the whole time.

In the pictures you will see the boy with Saban's National Championship
rings on, sitting behind his desk etc. But the pictures that get me the most
are the ones with Mark Ingram and Julio Jones. As I mentioned the boy just
recently went blind and he wanted to feel Mark and Julio's muscles, in the
pictures you can see him feeling their muscles. How awesome is that!

Yesterday when I was told the story I asked if he would send me a few more
pictures and I may get more, if I do I will send them out. In a time when
all you hear is negative media on collage and pro players it is refreshing
to hear a story like this. You can bet your behind that Coach Saban had a
lot to do with all this and it makes me have an even greater respect for
what he is doing in Tuscaloosa. YEP I am drinking the cool aid and it is
good! ROLL TIDE and May God bless this boy, his parents and the
Coach/Players at the University of Alabama who made one of his final days on
this earth a special one.
