Good Freep Article on Cesar Ruiz Childhood and Growing Up
I thought this was a well written article by Orion Sang at the Freep. Cesar had a tough childhood in Camden, NJ after his father died when Cesar was 8.

I have new respect for this kid, lots of it. Losing your dad at any age is tough, but at 8 it must have been unbearable. I hope the kid has an amazing life...

Agreed. I was 21 when my Dad died, and that was 19 years ago. I still had a lot of *growing up* to do, and many times lamented the fact that I couldn't ask for his advice. Could not imagine having to start that journey when I was 8.
His Mother appears to have an incredible amount of emtional fortitude. She obviously did a fantastic job raising Cesar (and his siblings as well, I imagine). Here's hoping Cesar is able to continue his success and give her everything he has dreamed of. It renews my failth in the universe when good things fall into place for good people

I wish the legion of self-appointed internet hot-takers in the Michigan fanbase would learn a little about the personal backgrounds of these young men before spitting their bile. Lookin' at you, Braylon Edwards. Read this article and tell me how "weak" Cesar Ruiz is.

This was one of my first thoughts after the finishing the article as well.

Nice read. Really pleased that we have Ruiz in the maize 'n blue.

Damn, is it just me or is the air getting spicy in here?
Thanks for the link. That was great read.

Talk about steeling the spine.
all Hail Cesar!

Great reminder of how much more there is to life than football. This fanbase could use such a reminder regularly. Hope Cesar has a terrific career here and a chance to play on Sundays.

Freep article?? How would any Michigan fan even know about this article? If a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear it...

It was not written by nick the prick. Hopefully nick is being replaced.
I hope y'all have heard the radio interview by Sam Webb with Daxton's father Derrick...and I believe Stan Edwards.

I found the link via Twitter. I do actually follow Nick B on Twitter, as I sometimes enjoy reading his less biased takes on Michigan. I definitely don't go perusing the Freep website for articles!

I really like the story about airplanes and childhood. People compare planes with the direction of development of the child. It reminds me of the children’s activities. I can say that such resources https://au.edubirdie.com/accounting will help you mentally maintain your child’s reputation at school. I recently learned about the possibility of children's self-education with the help of such resources.
