I can't even comprehend what this man endured and yet he still performed at the highest athletic standard. What he has to say and his sharing of his experiences would be fascinating. Hate that I can't attend.

Just let anyone you think would be interested know about the event. I think he's gonna give the speech he gave to the football team before the season began. The football players from our frat say his story is amazing.

I watched the HBO special that had him in it. Seemed like the people at UT were the worst about it.
