James Franklin post#999 but worth read

This week I covered the Music City Bowl in Nashville. However, my photographer could not attend this year. As a result, I invited a 10 year old child from the church I pastor who has cerebral palsy and his father to attend the game with me. The boy is the biggest Vandy fan I have ever seen and at 10 can tell you every player on the roster and their number....and many recruiting stories.

The boy was able to sit in the press box with me and go on the field the final five minutes of the game and during the celebration. He couldn't stop smiling as he took it all in!

Anyhow, we were right beside Zac Stacy as Franklin came and told him it was time to stop interviews and go to the locker room. As Franklin was turning to walk back to the locker room he spots my young friend. They had met in a brief encounter several months ago. He makes his way back over and hugs him and takes pictures with him....Think the event is over....not even close....We went to the media room for the q&a....then as we pass by the locker room they took my young friends and let him take pictures with their top players and the MCB trophy.....Franklin even introduced him to his kids.

Two days later he is still smiling.
