This death is actually affecting me more than it should

I don't even know how to put this into a completely concise thought. This has hit me real hard. I wasn't a fan of the hiring... to the point of getting blocked on Twitter his first day. I watched Finebaum yesterday and saw the Snyder tweet last night. I woke up to the news this morning and it felt like a truck of bricks hitting me. My wife's aunt (who was like a 2nd mother/MIL) died last week and I shed only a few tears at the service Friday night. I've shed a ton today. State was lucky to have had him for these last few years. I remember exactly where I was on campus when the news of Walter Payton's passing came across the radio. I feel almost the same tonight. So privileged that he decided to be a part of our State family.
