4 hours later…almost 300k. And I can tell you it’s not just Tennessee fans doing this. All the SEC fan bases have come together in this. It just means more is not just a cheesy slogan, it’s a life mantra for a lot of us down here in the south. We take care of our own.
When I took my daughter to her first UT basketball game, she said "hey, there's Wes Rucker" before she even acknowledged any basketball player. That says a ton I feel. RIP Wes...you were seen, heard and recognized. You will be missed greatly!
Rest in Peace, Wes Rucker 💔
Wes gave his ALL covering Tennessee Athletics, and was a man that took pride in being a loving Father and Husband
Tell your loved ones you love them.
Praying for the Rucker Family🧡
Devastating to hear the news about Wes Rucker
There are people around Tennessee Sports, beyond athletes and coaches, who become part of the story in ways that are hard to describe unless you follow it. Wes was a big character in this world and he is gone far too soon.
My deepest sympathies to his family and friends
I don't quite have the proper words to capture this gut-wrenching news. 💔 What I DO know, Wes was reflective and open, truly trying to hear the hearts of others....whether you agreed or not. A rare yet beautiful quality.
Many, many prayers for his beautiful family. 🙏🏾 #RIP
Kept hoping I’d wake up and read that it was all just a misunderstanding, but now that it’s confirmed the disbelief and sadness hit even harder.
I’m devastated for Lauren, Hank, and the rest of Wes’ family. I hope we can do what we can to lift them up in the coming months.
This just isn’t the way things are supposed to happen.
Me at Flemings: Ummm....I'm soooooo sorry but can you turn to ESPN and position me squarely in view bc my nephews are playing. Yes, all of them. Thx! 🔥🔥🔥 #Done#GBO
Whether he leaves or not, the Vol Twitter Tony Vitello meltdown has been one of our most entertaining yet. We have Mike Wilson following him around giving us second by second updates like he’s the United States President
It seems like such a tiny drop in an endless ocean, but I just want to SEE people, HEAR people, HUG people, LOVE people.... I don't want to let the evil of this world overtake my heart for people. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
