My heartfelt sympathy goes out to this young mans family, friends, the entire Arkansas program...but this "moment of silence" crap burns me up. Lets have an actual PRAYER.

To offer an outsiders view, one of the most emotional moments of any sporting events I have attended was the moment of silence Auburn had before the 2007 Iron Bowl for Siran Stacy and his family . JHS was scary silent. LSU should do the same for Arkansas Friday.

I'm Christian, so I don't have a problem with prayer, but sometimes silence screams the agony and sympathy so much louder while giving those who do the opportunity to pray. It's not about an argument between one or the other. It's about him, his family, and teammates.

I agree with you to a point and I think the moment of silence is better because you can pray in the way you wish, I can pray the way I wish, and so can everyone else. We have so many religions out their the moment of silence lets everyone show their respect towards this young man in their own way and to pray the way they feel is right.

Me too. I wasn't juxtaposing "moment of silence" with prayer, just thought it most appropriate if TS publicly acknowledged this tragedy.
When a student at LSU ('82-'85) one of our players would actually ocme out before the team and offer the invocation. Always thought that was neat.
