My Les Miles Story

I thought I would share my story (actually my nephews story)on coach Miles. In January of 2010 my nephew T J Fleming was diagnosed with cancer. He was a 20 year old who loved LSU football. TJ lived in a small town in South Alabama so you can imagine the ribbing he took from Auburn and Alabama fans. His Mom and Uncles were all huge Tide fans as well. TJ took it all in stride though. Anyway, once his cancer was getting to the point where we didnt know how much longer he would be with us his Mom wrote to LSU and Coach Miles to see if somehow they could maybe get a team photo or something for him to try and keep his spirits high. Well to everyones surprise he got a visit from Coach Miles, a signed photo and an invitation for him and his family to be on the sidelines for the LSU vs Alabama game. Unfortunately TJ didnt make it long enough to get to fulfill that dream but I know he was so touched by Coach's invite. We don't get to hear or see this side of a Coach much that's why I thought it was important to type this. I have always supported Coach Miles but after this it just solidified my support. If you like you can check out TJ's(TJ Fleming) facebook page that his Mom keeps up. That way you'll know the TJ we all knew. Thanks Coach for touching this families life and helping a kid realize a dream.
