re: Putting S.O. on the LSU helmets

Rag, this isn't the thread to pull your contrarian act in IMO. Let people make suggestions and just leave them be. While you're right that many young Tiger fans are lost every year, Sid's story made headlines and touched a lot of people. That doesn't diminish the loss of any other young Tiger. Every now and then something like this happens and it serves as a reminder to others what's truly important in life. Just leave it at that and quit trying to prove a point.

Rejecting the idea of honoring Sid's life/death just because there are infinite similar situations and it's difficult to ascertain its parameters is fallacious at best, in my opinion. It ignores the unique circumstances surrounding Sid's life and death.

I don't think any person would walk up to a parent and say to them their child's death isn't special because other children die of cancer. They are all unique. They may share one element, childhood cancer, but that element doesn't render the multitudes of differences among the cases insignificant.
