Thank you for the message regarding my Mom. She is the reason I am probably on this board. My parents were the huge ND fans and when my Dad passed I started following ND more closely so I could update her on recruiting and other inside info. She read a lot of the boards too.
My avatar pic is from 9 years ago, taken two nights before my wife had our youngest daughter. I feel sorry for your coworker. Looking like this is rough.
