It took me a long time to get used to Coach Rod, but I began to enjoy his coaching and the atmosphere he brought along with it. He is a great coach and we have him.
Until, the anniversary of my mother's death.
A large and ugly battle would then ensue. Many people would do and say many things that they should not have. Folks would be dragged into the fiasco that should not have been. Lies would be told. Feelings would be hurt.
However, life would go on in Morgantown, WV and the Mountaineer Faithful would see to it that the football program would be just as important as it always had been.
Present day (ok, play the harp and do the blurry picture)
My mother was a very faithful Christian while on this earth. She is now with God—because of her dedication and commitment. Her life goes on.
Each day of my life, I strive to live in a way that will allow me to spend eternity with my mother.
I say with a great deal of confidence that Coach Rod wishes he would have handled things a little better and not caused such a ruckus. He is a great coach; I wish him all the best.
However, He could have chosen a different day to smash the hearts of so many Mountaineers.
Both of these events hurt a great deal.
Keep in mind my mother is in a much better place.
Knowing that will help you understand which one hurt worse.
Let’s GOOOOOOO Mountaineeeeeers...LIFE GOES ON
