Don't see it posted yet, if so, Please don't jump all over me....
When you have a minute go read the Sports section in The Advocate, sure it is online also, about Mikie losing his father when he was 4 years old. Boy, it will bring tears to your eyes, especially on Father's Day...

Tragic. My wife went to High School with Mikie Sr. Great family.

Everytime I watch this kid play I can't help but to think about how proud his father would be

I was in 8th grade at Cathedral- Carmel when his dad was a Senior. He was the BMOC but never acted cocky arrogant or anything but like a gentleman. He impressed me with his humble demeanor and outright ability to kick a$$.

Mahtook played RB and punted. He could have got a scholarship to smaller schools as a punter alone.

I didn't know he died until the RICE game. My heart sunk. He was the real fricking deal!
