Sam Westmoreland was more than a football player. He was a music lover, a random flag buyer and the one friends always leaned on.
But behind the smile and the long blonde hair was a kid struggling. He was 18 when he committed suicide on Oct. 19:

Let me just add this. At it's core, college football is built off young athletes.
In the last year, Mississippi State dealt with the loss of former receivers coach Dave Nichol. Then dealt with the loss of teammate Sam Westmoreland. Now it's dealing with the loss of Mike Leach.

Rob Phinisee has taken a ton of criticism from so many (myself included) because he was the point guard of an offense schemed by an awful coach. He fielded every question from the media with class.

Didn’t get a chance to watch IU-Iowa tonight, so I pulled up a two-minute clip posted on YouTube.
Nine of the 14 highlights were of Iowa. And IU won this game by how much? If we’re gonna cover women’s basketball, let’s do it right — it was a matchup of two ranked teams.

Not many updates since this. He was airlifted to Jackson, so the severity of the situation is apparent.
You’re taught not to root for the teams you cover. But, man, do I hope Mike wins this one.
Not much information other than saying Mike Leach has been transferred to UMMC in Jackson. Certainly a serious situation. Prayers up for Mike Leach.
Zach Arnett will serve as interim head coach.

Bookie Watson now with 138 tackles this season. Jett Johnson up to 129.
Next-best mark in the SEC is 102, that being from South Carolina's Debo Williams.
Can't blame Watson and Johnson for MSU's shortcomings.
