Pat Tillman loses life in war.

04-23-2004, 02:55 PM

I know this is not related to UNI Football, but it is a sad story that everyone should have some interest in. Here is a young guy hitting his stride in the NFL. He gave up the security (both personal and financial) of the NFL and Arizona Cardinals to join the Army as a Ranger after the 9/11 attacks. His dedication to our country was put above his own security and safety. Thinking about how he made this selfless decision to join the military chokes me up.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Tillman family. Pat is a true role model to not just football players and fans, but to all Americans. God bless.

What I find ridiculous is that his football cards are going for over $15,000 on ebay.........

Thoughts and prayers to his friends and family as well as all our soldiers.

"We're not an ordinary school," said Fort. "We have tradition. We have a good team year after year. We rebuild, and it doesn't matter who we have coming back."
