Amazing. Already halfway through. Time passes quickly.

Of course no CCG and no bowl bound.

For those who may not be aware, Northwestern's starting quarterback's older brother was a quarterback for Washington State when he decided to take his own life in 2018.

He was tested for CTE and it was determined his brain was the equivalent of a 65-year old with extensive damage.

Suicide, Quarterbacks and the Hilinski Family (Published 2018)

Tyler Hilinski, a quarterback at Washington State, killed himself in January and was posthumously diagnosed with C.T.E. His brother is a star recruit at the same position. It’s raw and complicated.

"Tyler Hilinski shot himself in a closet inside his Pullman, Wash., apartment on Jan. 16. He was 21. Four months earlier he had been carried off the field after leading the Washington State Cougars to an electric triple-overtime victory over Boise State."

"And for Ryan, it meant playing football. Everything he does, he said, will now be for him and his brother. He switched his jersey number to No. 3, which Tyler wore. He tattooed an outline of the lighthouse where they spread Tyler’s ashes on the inside of his right wrist so the football could touch a memory of his brother on every snap."

OK, now I hate the game of football. I feel like a Roman countryman watching the Gladiators get mauled by lions cuz they failed to win.... but I digress....


Didn't take the time to post in the score prediction contest for Northwestern but I bought a bunch of pulled chicken, pork and brisket from Cam Jurgens Mom tonight and I believe he will have a break out game, maybe it's the brisket but I have a very good feeling... go Cam, lead the way. GBR

A sobering reminder in these very difficult times. Have to pay attention to our own and other's mental state. We all struggle in our way with something. HWM taking a moment to remind us all. It matters.
