    That's a good story and I applaud both Nick and the Pettway kid for making it all work out. Took both parties, the Univ and the Kid to get to this happy ending...most importantly the kid.

    Nice article Kp, thanks for sharing. It takes some balls at times to do the right thing and even more challenging when things work out for a suspended player, who goes the extra mile for you.

    yeah in this case one of Saban's irritating traits works well. He doesn't give a **** about what we think. He's going to do what he thinks is right, no matter what. 8)

    Is there anything better than Saban on a 'I'm going to show you why I'm right and you're wrong' rant?! hahaha I mean yeah, there's our children and all that.. but in the world of superficial things we like, this has to be way up there.

    Dr Tom Osborne made a career out of helping kids. It's all great until one of the kids goes Lawrence Phillips on you and then everyone forgets the countless examples of 'good' and just stick to the one who didn't work out. It's unfortunate, but I've told you guys, the media sucks.

    Thanks for posting this KP.

    I agree with him completely.
