I saw this article in the Daily Reveille and thought it should be posted. Very heart-warming read.

quote:

There’s no question that LSU fullback J.C. Copeland’s favorite pastime involves inflicting pain. The 6-foot, 270-pound behemoth has been likened to a freight train or an 18-wheeler rumbling down the field on the way to delivering some of the most vicious hits in the country. Despite his frightening reputation, 10-year-old Macy Jeter sees only one thing in the fullback — a jungle gym.

Great read and story. Did not realize any of that about Copeland.

Only beef with the story.

It's like The Blindside, only Michael tells Ole Miss to frick off. Then he tells the Thuys that the family is for LSU now.

I met his mom before the BCSNCG in 2012. She was very normal and having a good time.

Met his mom before the Auburn game last year. She was very friendly and texted JC that he was my friend's favorite player

It's impossible to not root for these guys.

This story is great, and so is Connor Neighbor's family story. So many great angles to latch onto.
