I was fine till I looked at the Jumbotron and saw his boys holding little American flags


Pretty surreal moment

Greatest version of A.G. ever was Judy Collins. Can't find the original but here's something close.

I noticed that most of the guys in my area kept their heads faced towards the field so nobody would see them choked up/they would avoid embarrassing others by seeing them choked up. Of course, I only saw the backs of the people's heads in front of me not looking around because I was doing the same.

I was recording it with my camera and concentrating on keeping it still which helped me to keep from really boo hooing (I'm female .. it's all good). Missed seeing the son on the jumbotron ... May Scott rest in peace and may his family continue to find comfort in the Lord.

It was a very special moment, playing it on the field to a silent TS was indescribable. And the "USA! USA! USA!" gave me chills.

That said, USA! USA! USA!

Those were Scotts nephews on the field. Unfortunately Scott never had children. He did leave behind a wife who is at the Pentagon today, and one Hell on a boxer dog named Neiko.

I cant tell you how much it meant to hear the crowd cheer when Scotts name was mentioned. I dont think I have heard that stadium as quiet as it was while the band was playing Amazing Grace. Thank you Tiger Nation.

I dunno. I was just wondering who the person they were honoring was. I wasn't at the game so this is the first I heard about it

My parents seats are right down from this view.

Crazy how quiet it is. Chill bumps.
