This may not be a totally new level of dedication or obsession to Griz Nation... but my 75-year old Dad worked the nurse's at St. Pat's to get him out of ICU and into a room yesterday to just in time for kickoff. Not many fans get their chest cracked open like an egg to have open-heart surgery one day, spend the next 24 hours sedated with 6 tubes running out of every orifice on his body, wake up, and then demand to be wheeled to a TV to watch his beloved Griz. And then bitch like a maniac about our play calling and tackling... a true Maroon-and-Silver bleeder in my book! Love ya Pops! :thumb:

He's a better man than most of us. :thumb:
 
If he was really dedicated, he would have made it to Laramie! :D Just kidding - awesome story! Hope your dad has a speedy recovery.
