I just wanted to write a little note of encouragement to the "waterboy." We all have our moments in life that we wish we could take back. I know I have had my share. Everyone makes mistakes and the only thing that we can do is realize them, admit it and try to go on as best we can. To everyone else, give the poor guy a break; no one can do anything about it now and he was not the only one who threw an object at that game. Let's all forgive him and move on with life. I believe he has been more than necessarily punished with every student, faculty member and alumnus calling for his head on a platter.

It's a pretty sad situation when the University has to provide measures to protect him from the student body. We are Christians! Let's practice that fundamental concept our faith is based on: forgiveness.
