Great story, Bulldogs.
quote:
Matt Lea brought a Mississippi State baseball shirt to his dad, wearing an Ole Miss hat. The Ole Miss hat was quickly removed and the MSU shirt held up for the camera to see. And that’s when Lea told his father that he wanted to watch the College World Series with his father this weekend.
Except, he didn’t want to do it at home. He wanted to take his father, who is battling Alzheimers, up to Omaha for one last trip.
Great story, Bulldogs.

That's awesome but you should put a NSFW tag on those type of stories. I don't want anyone walking by and asking me if I'm ok now.
I hope both of them have the time of their lives.

Is this the same poster on here who said this?

I remember a State poster saying something about taking his dad. I don’t know if this is him. Vecchio might know.

Hell yeah. Things like this are why sports and sports fandom are great.

Don't know. I'm familiar with that guy from another site that we both frequented. He's a lot more rational than most MSU posters on tRant, including myself
, so I may not recognize him over here

That's an awesome video but why is someone chopping onions in the background? Chit got in my eyes.

You may want to mention he played baseball and basketball at State before going to Pharmacy school at Ole Miss. His father lives in Flowood, MS. Just about every news station in the nation has asked to use this video. It has gone viral.

I was the state poster.
This isn’t me. My dad has Parkinson’s.
We got tickets and rooms booked. We are leaving this afternoon and his bags were packed at 6am this morning. He is pumped

Your dad looks very familiar. I live in Flowood too. Don’t know where he worked but I know I have seen him many times before.

Safe travels

Hope you and your dad have a great time. As a father, I know he will

You need to finally be funny on at least one post. It's not that you don't try enough. It's just that you suck at it.

Guess I'm now cheering for Mississippi State to win it all after reading this thread.
