Sympathy for the Hokies
As I'm sure you know by now, the deadliest shooting in American history happened this morning on the campus of Virginia Tech. King Bee and I want to express our sincerest condolences to the Virginia Tech community.
If you are a member of the Rivals.com community, they have a dedicated message board for the Virginia Tech fans. I urge you to post your sympathies over there. Even if you aren't a Rivals.com subscriber, I still urge you to go over there and take a look at the array of fans offering their condolences to the Hokies. There were over 6,000 people signed on this afternoon. Fans from all sorts of schools including Virginia, Michigan, Georgia, LSU, and Texas have posted.
These types of tragedies remind us that sports are a trivial part of campus life, but they also show us that sports are a great unifier during times of strife. While we root with all our might against some teams or schools, we sports fans are also some of the first to extend our support to that same rival in a time of grief.
