If everyone could do a little something for me...

As you know, I feel a deep connection to the place I came from. I attended the University of Minnesota for four wonderful years and it will always be one of the most special places in the world to me. About a half an hour ago during the Minnesota/New Mexico State football game, the head coach of the Minnesota Golden Gophers, Jerry Kill, collapsed on the side lines. Coach Kill is a cancer survivor with a history of seizures. The official temperature at the U of M was 88 degrees, but on the field it was probably around 100. This was Coach Kill’s first home game with the Gophers and he had already amassed a cult following for his humor, accent and work ethic. I don’t ask much of my followers, but today, I ask you all, no matter what religion, pray for Coach Jerry Kill. I’ve always believed in the healing power of prayer and in times like these, people need something to rally around. Let that someone be Jerry Kill.
