I've read about his accomplishments as a student and we have all been witness to his skills on the football field, as I'm sure Manti Te'o can testify. But on top of that he is a great human being. People like Patrick make me proud to be a Michigan alum.

The photo accompanying the article says it all.  So nice to see a six year old smiling after the events of the last few days.  Ironic that her name is Faith.

I've always been proud to be a Michigan Wolverine, but stories like this make me even prouder.  This young man will succeed in whatever he chooses to do with his life.

Use an unstrung racket for that big match, Patrick.  She deserves to win.
