Been there and done that. I remember my Father's last game. It's been almost 20 years. I miss him.

Get a tape recorder, and get him to start talking about the experiences of going to games back in those days. I think you will treasure it in the future.


We did this a few days before when he was feeling a little better. We talked a lot about when he was a tiger in teh 50's and how LSU won the national championship during his senior year. He also played baseball for the tigers which is why I was brought up more of a baseball fan than a football fan.

During the game he didnt really get to watch a lot of it, he wasn't feeling all too great and kind of dozed in and out. He didnt have too many great things to say about Jefferson however

Thanks for all the prayers guys, its great to know that even though the overall IQ of the rant really is less than a preschool class, in tough times we can all come together and pick each other up. True tiger fans
Here's to hoping your prayers let him get one more game in and have him feeling good enough to actually watch it

Well, he's certainly very sharp, then!! Best to you, and I was thinking about your family during the game!

Hey man, my Mawmaw died a couple hours after the North Carolina game, she lived for one last Tiger victory, I pray they win this weekend for your grandfather.

God bless, your Grandpa is a true tiger fan. It is apparent you guys love him a bunch. Hold on to what you can, hopefully these times are not physically painful for him. Let's go get another W in tiger stadium this Saturday.
