    Calling on the Sooner Nation

    An acquaintence of mine in Birmingham suffered the tragic accidental death of his youngest child this weekend. The little guy got out of the house and fell into their pool where he drowned.



    http://www.rickandbubba.com/

    Here's the thing, this is a great guy. Yep, I admit I gave him a ration-o-crap when he said we did'nt deserve to be in the BCS championship game the year Auburn went undefeated, but that was just smack talk.

    Rick Burgess is a great human. He played his college ball at Troy. He's a person of deep faith and conviction, and a lot of folks listen to his syndicated radio show every weekday morning. I do myself (online) while preparing my "Good Morning" missives. (I wish it was on the radio in Oklahoma because people would love the show.)


    Rick is the guy on the left

    Having endured the loss of a child ourselves, I know his faith is really being put to the test. In the end, he strikes me as the kind of Christian whose faith will be stronger after this is past.

    Anyhoo, if you feel like, post a message to this address:
    [email protected]

    Someday, I bet he and his family will sit down and read them all and it would be special to read notes from people far away who didn't even know them.

    A very good friend of mine with the last name Burgess lives just outside of Birmingham. I wonder if they're related.

    Very sad though.

    The year Auburn went undefeated was 2004. OU was undefeated going into the Orange Bowl vs. USC after the 2004 season.

    And obviously a minor point in relation to the actual meaning of the thread. My condolences to your friend for his loss.

    Wow, I hadn't heard about this Homey. I Listen to Rick and Bubba all the time. So sad. There can't be anything worse than the death of your child. I will keep him and his family in my thoughts and prayers. Thanks for the information Homey.

    Rick and Bubba's telling of the Wanda and Willie story is one of the funniest things I've ever heard. This is heartbreaking.
