Semi-OT: Coach Ferrigno made a great memory for a friends daughter
Yesterday, my friend, an Ohio alum, said it was a shame that Hoke (not Urbs) had to be the one to do the classy thing for the beating "Michigan" cancer child. This staff and the whole athletic department seem to project a very classy, caring, family persona. I work at Cincinnati Children's hospital and stuff like this is just awesome. It made my day to talk to a patient about wrestling on Monday. He was upset that we do not get the USA network and he could not watch RAW.
cincinnati childrens is supposed to be awesome.
and a great story from the OP!
"This is Michigan, fergodsakes."
One more reason why I love my alma mater.
Gestures like this are another example of why the culture of Michigan football, and really Michigan athletics, is an awesome culture in that it gives back to the community in so many wonderful ways. Hopefully, this is an experience that this child will be able to tell their children about. Many kudos to Coach Ferrigno, and thanks to the OP for sharing this.

did you neg the OP for this story?
Now I've been reduced to running the steps outside on the east side. A pale imitation. I'd pay for a pass to work out inside. Dave?
Ha, a coincidence... I was referring to Dave Brandon.
thanks for sharing!
Within the last year or so, my son took his high school age daughter to Ann Arbor for a soccer camp or practice to be held somewhere in the Michigan sports complex. Not knowing exactly where the facility being used was located, my son asked a man walking near one of sports building how to get to the location. The man told my son and granddaughter to follow him. It took at least a few minutes to get to the building in question, and the man had to open at least one door with a key en route. The man turned out to be Coach Borges, and I was impressed by his random act of kindness.
