One of the things that made me proud of Fuente was his comment to #1 for


MTSU after the guy drilled BB3. I thought that was pretty cool that he basically told that kid that it was a just a football play and no one thinks he was trying to hurt or injure BB3. I mean, to have the thoughtfulness to talk to a kid on the other team and send that kind of message is, in my opinion, what sports should be all about.

People get SO caught up in wins and losses. Too many fans live vicariously through the success and failure of a bunch of 18-22 year olds. But sports is just preparation for life. The fact that Fuente had some kind words for that kid is very revealing to me and makes me like and respect Fuente even more.

I'm sure there are some people here who only care about winning and for whom demonstrating character and building character in young people is just nonsense -- but I think that's the most important part of the whole thing. So I thought that was pretty cool.
