ESPN's COLLEGE GAMEDAY COMES TO CHESTNUT HILL
Chestnut Hill will be the setting for ESPN's College Gameday this Saturday(starting 10am EST), and I think that Mark Herzlich is a big reason for the trip. Last week an ESPN crew spent the day with Mark and his family last week documenting his chemo treatments and interviewing his family. I foresee a sit down interview with Mark on that College Gameday stage and then a feature on Mark's treatment and recovery.
This is going to be a huge day for Boston College Football and a great show of respect to Mark Herzlich. Show your support, wear your gold, and get there early.
Hey Mark... Stay Up! Go Eagles!

ACC FUNDRAISING EFFORTS FOR MARK HERZLICH CONTINUE WITH VT
Before kickoff last week, the Clemson Tiger's presented Mark Herzlich with a check for $5,000 to aid in the advancement of Ewing's Sarcoma research. This was an amazing gesture of love and respect for an amazing player, and it looks like that trend will continue with Virginia Tech. HD reports that Virginia Tech will be selling "Team United" wristbands leading up to the October 10th showdown with Boston College. VT is hoping to raise $5,094 and present Mark with the check before the game.
All money will be going to Uplifting Athletes, the same non profit organization that joined with the Eagles to raise over $15,000 during the "Lift for Life" event at Boston College. Please show your support if you can. I hope that this trend continues throughout the ACC. Well done.
"Wrist bands will also be available at the University Bookstore, Volume II and the Hokie Stadium Shops in Lane Stadium. Individuals or groups wishing to purchase a minimum of 100 wrist bands can do so by emailing the Virginia Tech Football Office at lepperly@vt.edu. Checks are to be made out to Uplifting Athletes and no credit card orders will be taken."

A LETTER TO CLEMSON FANS FROM MARK HERZLICH'S FATHER
Sept. 22, 2009
Dear Clemson Fans:
First - My son is Mark Herzlich, the BC linebacker recovering from Cancer. The entire Tiger Nation should be proud of the complete class your entire program carries itself with. I wear a copy of Mark's jersey to games and I lost track of the number of Clemson fans who approached me to wish him well and to say that they were praying for him. These are people who don't know me, don't know Mark and have little reason to even be aware of his situation yet were both aware and involved enough to say some kind words. Thank you.
Second, for those who missed it, prior to the game Coach Swinney presented Mark with a Clemson jersey signed by the whole team with Mark's #94 on it. I've never seen such an outstanding and unsolicited display of sportsmanship.
Finally, throughout the weekend the major topic of conversation outside football was the graciousness of the Clemson fan base. All of us commented on how welcoming everyone was, both before and after the game. I've been to Clemson before and interacted with Clemson fans in Boston so I wasn't suprised any more but I was glad to see my friends get the message too. There was absolutely no lack of support or fanatacism for Clemson football but it was all wrapped up in an understanding that competing doesn't mean hating, that you need an opponent to play a game and that there's a difference between an opponent and an enemy. My younger son, who's used to the whole us versus them attitude in a lot of fan bases turned to me at one point and said, "you just can't hate these guys!"
Clemson continues to be my favorite road trip. I always root for Boston College to go undefeated and win the ACC, but in the years that it can't be us, I hope it's you.
If you're going to be a bear - be a grizzly!
