Skip Prosser 1950-2007

I have written often on THF about my father and his passing on the night of the 2005 National Semifinal. Daddy was 54 when he was suddenly taken in an accident. Losing a loved one is hard under any circumstances but I know of no case that it is harder than a loved one lost without warning and well before their time during a period of their life when they have so much to offer. It is shock from which you never can fully recover as you are set upon a turbulent ocean of unrelenting sadness and nagging questions. This is the journey Skip Prosser’s family, friends, players and co-workers embark on this evening and with each passing day beyond this one.

Unspeakable Tragedy at Virginia Tech

My thoughts and prayers go out to Hokie nation and all those connected with Virginia Tech in the wake of this horrific shooting today which claimed 32 victims and the life of the shooter. It is nearly impossible to conceive that such a horrendous thing could happen especially among those who are in the best years of their lives.

May God bless and comfort those who are mourning.

We are all Hokies today.

One Shining Moment Honors Jason Ray

If you were watching “One Shining Moment” you probably saw Rameses prominently featured during one clip in the montage. This was obviously an extremely classy and poignant move on the part of CBS to show the Tar Heel mascot being played by Jason Ray and honor the student who was tragically taken on the Friday of the Sweet Sixteen.

Very nicely done CBS and thank you.

Oregon Duck and Florida Gator = Classy

Obviously this was on Sunday before Jason Ray passed. Nice gesture on the part of these two.  Also notice the Tar Heel on the bottom of the Gator’s foot.
