Thank you from a Gamecock

  • I knew your team is going through a tough time, but today I saw the worst I have ever seen in 40 year of watching college football at Williams Brice and shortly thereafter I saw the best; When your guys came out to honor Marcus, it was all I could do not to simply breakdown in tears. I have never been one to pull for the Vols especially after some of the beatings you guys have laid on us, but I will forever be a Vol fan and pull for y'all when not playing Carolina. My family said a our prayers tonight for Marcus, his family , his teammates and then for Coach Dooley and your players.. What they did today showed so much love that it truly touched my heart.

    I was proud to be a Vol after that display of sportsmanship, love, and respect. It really put things into perspective. I hope for the best for Lattimore and look forward to seeing him play on Sundays. It looked a lot worse than last year's torn ACL, but that young man has proven he can come back, so I will not doubt his heart to fight back again. I'll be praying for you 21 !

  • Vols players and fans are a class act. You guys are awesome.

  • After watching Marcus get hurt, the game after that point, meant very little to me. My thoughts and Prayers go out to him and his family for a full recovery.

  • Wanted to come over and just say I thought your team showed a lot yesterday by going out and honoring Lattimore. There are several conference opponents that I know wouldn't have responded with such class (a couple playing in Jax yesterday immediately come to mind). It definitely made an impression on this Gamecock.

    Good luck the rest of the season. Your team is fighting hard & I think you'll see some good things down the stretch.

  • I agree! Vol fans and their players and coaches are first class!! Please pray for Marcus!

    CousinEddie

  • My thoughts and prayers are with Lattimore. Just a terrible injury! I hope and pray the young man recovers and can still have a chance to live his dream of playing in the NFL.
