I know it’s easy to be proud of the Dawgs who make the game-winning plays in the biggest games or have the NFL or NBA careers, but trust me when I say, #HuskyNation… we just lost one of the finest we’ve ever had. My friend @pjgreen was one of those rare friends who deserved the tag “hero.” A walk-on on the ‘91 national championship team and a successful professional and family man, Phil was diagnosed with ALS seven years ago, and I’m telling you… I’ve never met anyone in my entire life who was as devoted to anything as Phil was to advocating for people with ALS. You just don’t know what I mean when I say he was “inspirational” unless you knew him. From the moment I met him shortly after his diagnosis, it was game on. He started the ALS Apple Cup Challenge, he was behind the start of Lou Gehrig Day in MLB, he lobbied in DC, he met with Tim Cook at Apple, he was a part of countless fundraisers, he researched to the level of expertise, he had an award named after him and he became a giant in the ALS community. Rest in peace, my friend. I know you and your family suffered so, so much, but through that suffering you touched my life and countless others’ deeply, and I’m so thankful I got to know you. #NoWhiteFlags
@frankmSounders I feel the need to correct the record. Our Microstandard squad took the over 30 national title in '99 in St. Louis with a roster that included Bill Crook, Craig Beeson, Daryl Green, Tote and Tai Yamada, Mike Perrin, and John Purtteman.
