It's not HD-related, but being a WVU man myself I wanted to post. I may not have appreciated Coach Stew's ability on the sideline,but I sure as heck appreciated his attitude towards the student-athlete. This is from Yahoo! Sports:
Fairmont State and West Virginia University lost a great man in Bill Stewart [age 59] this morning to a heart attack.
I will not soon forget what Coach Stew said shortly after taking Oklahoma to school in the 2008 Fiesta Bowl. His words bear worth repeating here, as they serve as a shining counter-example to the classic churn-out, spit-up, throw-away corruption that is representative of college football today:
"We want to be a team of national stature, but we’re going to do it the right way with great student-athletes that buy into the plan. We want great husbands, great dads, great men of society and great men of faith. If all that ties into winning, that means we’ve had a great program. I’m going to be judged on the wins. I know that. What I do with these young men’s lives, I’m being judged by the master coach. And that’s where I lay down every night and sleep very well."
Coach Stew knew what really mattered. And because of that, college football is all the poorer for his death.
Rest well Coach Stewart.
