Leach story

[Rupert Jenkins]

On the Miss State Football page is a story called "an act of kindness." Its about an Alabama fan with a brain tumor that Leach called. It's a tear jerker and most stuff doesn't make me sentimental but this one is good. I wish I was smart enough to put a hyperlink to it

Great story.

"Regardless of the time or the place, Coach Leach talked everything but football with the Norris family. History, politics, the reasons why Pedialyte Advanced Care was more hydrating than Gatorade."

Leach was clearly an experienced imbiber. Pouring a little bit more out for him now.

A better person than he was a coach, & he was a damn good coach.

I seriously still feel like my favorite uncle died. This has been tough. I love this man and I’ve never met him

I knew we had a special coach in terms of being a genius on and off the field with youtube videos that I enjoyed but never knew how much we had. How much we ALL Had outside of just STATE. Just Damn. Being as crushed as I am, never having the pleasure of ever meeting him or even shaking his hand I can't imagine being one of his close friends or family members.
