Very cool of Trent...nice story. Title: Re: Trent going to prom with cancer-stricken girl (link) Post by: FocusedFan on April 13, 2012, 11:57:14 AM Kudos, Trent! Class act, as always.
Title: Re: Trent going to prom with cancer-stricken girl (link) Post by: hscoach on April 13, 2012, 12:06:54 PM Great Story and thanks for sharing. I wish the young lady the best and my prayers are with her. As far as Trent, this is a great event and another great way to add to his legacy at the UA. Hopefully, he will continue to realize what a positive impact he can be for the youth of today. Hopefully, more athletes will follow in his footsteps and be a positive influence.

Title: Re: Trent going to prom with cancer-stricken girl (link) Post by: Jamos on April 14, 2012, 08:42:12 AM There will be another athlete in attendance that night and hopefully he can watch and get a grasp on what being a class act is, but for some reason I doubt it. I don't know of very many class acts from Florida State. ;)
Title: Re: Trent going to prom with cancer-stricken girl (link) Post by: Kupkake on April 14, 2012, 09:52:18 AM Jamos - Maybe the young man going to Fl. State will learn by example. He's just in high school - don't write him off yet.
As for Trent - he is such a class act that nothing he does surprises me. I sing his praises at every chance. I still follow another Alabama teammate, Terrence Cody, who I consider another class act. I am so pleased to see sports figures who are such positive role-models for us all. Title: Re: Trent going to prom with cancer-stricken girl (link) Post by: lstephen on April 14, 2012, 10:15:10 AM Ya know. it doesn't even bother me that ESPN is sending a camera crew to cover the prom date. Still a wonderful, sweet story. Way to go Trent and Courtney and ROLL TIDE!!! #+
Title: Re: Trent going to prom with cancer-stricken girl (link) Post by: Merk on April 14, 2012, 10:27:06 AM Trent embodies everything CNS preaches. Class and character. I know Coach Bryant would have loved to have him on one if his teams as well. What a representative for THE University!

Kudos to him from brightening this young girl's life, but even more prayers and best wishes to Courtney as she continues her courageous fight. :pray:
Title: Re: Trent going to prom with cancer-stricken girl (link) Post by: bama87 on April 14, 2012, 09:16:21 PM TR is all class. He shows it on and off the field. That is why he placed his hands in cement today. A man who leads by example.

Quote Teams are always looking hard at a player's character, especially ones taken high in the draft like Richardson. He has two daughters (ages 5 and 3), who live with their mother. He also can come across cocky in interviews. http://espn.go.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/56948/trent-richardson-grants-senior-prom-wish >:( Title: Re: Trent going to prom with cancer-stricken girl (link) Post by: cbbama99 on April 16, 2012, 12:51:13 PM Some ESPN reporter named Jamison Hensley had this to say: Quote Teams are always looking hard at a player's character, especially ones taken high in the draft like Richardson.

This guy is worse than a hack; he is a Scarbinski-ite.

But on Saturday night, 12 days before the draft, Richardson is proving to be a good guy. :tinfoil: Yeah, how dare he call Richardson a good guy ??? |
