Sometimes stories just stick with me and I become mesmerized and cant look away. Such was the case today and tonight as I watched the continued unfolding tragedy at Virginia Tech. What is being called the single worst gun crime in the history of the United States truly left America stunned today and represents one of the more difficult stories that I have recently seen. If you are like me, you thought of the classrooms where you spent time in school and pictured yourself in the scenarios that the students in Blacksburg encountered. It is unfathomable the staggering amount of death and destruction left on what is a really beautiful and interesting campus. I have always been found of that university tracing back to my time in law school when I visited the campus. I cant imagine what the familes of the students affected are going through right now and I want to extend my prayers to them. It is a truly sad day for everyone and for this day, we are all Hokies.
In a much less important world, here are the news and views….
(1) Tonight was the first visit of Billy Clyde to see Patrick Patterson and all indications are that the visit went well. I did not speak with the Pattersons but spoke with someone who spoke to them and it seems as if Billy Clyde made a good impression. He approached them with a plan on how Patterson would be used during his time at Kentucky, including specific details on how he could be a complete player for the Blue and White. He expressed his desire to make Patterson a cornerstone of his program for years to come and said that the combination of Pat and Jai could be the foundation for a great run for the team. We hope to speak with Patrick tomorrow and may be joined by him on our show later this week. Kentucky and Florida are the two big dogs here, but Donovan and Coach K are coming back for more visits, so this thing is far from over. But all indications are that Billy Clyde got off to a good start tonight.
