I thought you were saying UT won the whole SEC... which as an LSU fan... shook me up (cause LSU had the best record in the SEC this year). Sorry about my prior post! (lol!!!) Oh Lawd... I should have KNOWN I would jinx the LSU Lady Tigers. I should have never posted our LSU Lady Tigers were going to SCHOOL the Lady Vols! Grrrr! I had to watch in horror as Candace Parker and the Lady Vols beat the LSU Lady Tigers by one point last night at Napoleon's Itch (gay bar). Grrrr....

But that was then. and being the uncle of a mid to high functioning autistic nephew - it has me hold out hope that he can be somewhat mainstreamed w/out me having go beat the crap out of students who make fun of him. as a friend of my said - ‘if we had a kid at our high school like that - he’d have most likely been stoned to death!’.

Tony.... LSU men and women won the SEC regular season this year (not UT or the Lady Vols). In fact, today, LSU Lady Tigers will school the Lady Vols. But don't worry, both the Tenneessee men and women basketball programs are going to March Madness. They both had a great year. Ummm…. Tony….

Jason and his family have about fifteen offers for movies on his story... his mom says they're "thinking about it"... Also Jason's school never used to have a "special needs" program... now, from memory, they're one of the leading schools in their state... So not just the coach, but the whole school deserves a tip of the hat!

In summary was it commending the actions of a person who stepped beyond their normal responsibilities to not only think about another individual but to also help that individual do something they were not capable of alone. I think we would all agree the coach is a special person whose actions and probably his life in general is worth of note and even praise. The coach reminds me of someone, but that someone doesn't think taking care of granny is a noble task or something over and above what most people would do. Once again, I am glad you share yourself and your writting. Thanks for the post.

Sometimes we forget that all people need is an oppurtunity.You're absolutely right, this young man will never forget this experience. On another note, is it true the NCAA is punishing Tennessee football for academics? When I saw the story on the evening news it brought tears to my eyes as well.
