Pretty cool of EH to personally address both egriz and all of GrizNation. Hope you're able to return to the griz next season, Ellis, however, I wish you all the best whether you return or not. Get well!!
AZGrizFan said:Having met EH's father a couple years ago, it doesn't surprise me that EH would ooze both class and maturity. If he never plays another down of football, he'll do well in life no matter what his chosen pursuit. Should we be fortunate enough to see him again wearing #7 and tearing apart opposing defenses, well, consider that just icing on the cake.
Get well, EH. You'll always be one of our favorites....and although we won't get to see 10 to 7 again, hopefully we'll see you healthy and on the field again before calling your Griz career complete.
Thank you Ellis!The Real_EH#7 said:First of all, I want to thank all of you for the well wishes & heart felt sentiments. It has been a challenging time for me personally. I came to Missoula with two simple goals in mind. (1) Get my degree and (2) Play championship caliber football for the Griz. Obviously, my current condition has "temporarily" interrupted my personal goals.
The best approach for a remedy & care is for me to return to the Portland area, where I can receive the best possible care available under my attending physicians who originally pin-pointed my illness in mid July this summer. I made every possible attempt to continue my education & play but my condition has overwhelmed me emotionally and physically.
However, my withdrawal from UM is not planned to be final!
My passion and affection for the University of Montana is now a part of my personal DNA. I will bleed Maroon and Silver for the rest of my life. It has been an honor to represent the university on and off the field. I am anxious to return ASAP, but I also understand the process will take numerous weeks, potentially several months.
I am truly blessed and touched by all the well wishes and prayers from our incredible fan base. Keep the entire team, coaches and staff in your thoughts and prayers as well. We are appreciative more than you could ever know!
Up With Montana!
