Are you #TylerStrong? (SLYT - have a tissue handy)
The best sports story that is not really about sports that you will see this weekend.
Are you made it to campus for first day of freshman year even though you had a 10 hour pelvic replacement surgery due to a rare form of bone cancer 11 days earlier strong?
Are you camped out to be first in the stadium for the Michigan - Purdue football game even though you drove 120 miles round trip to Indianapolis for chemotherapy earlier in the day strong?
Are you at home in hospice care because the cancer is winning, but still made it back to campus for the Purdue - Ohio State football game last night strong?
Are you inspired a community to care, and inspired a football team to a stunning upset strong?
Are you dealing with all of this with a smile on your face and a sincere belief that it's all for the best strong?
We should all be #TylerStrong.

I was displeased at the outcome of the game, but this kid was really cool. I'm glad he got to see a win for Purdue like that.

My ties to tOSU are... strong ( and i know enough that I am on record predicting this loss since Week 2) and watching the celebration was awesome. I was in the hospital all day working but was able to sit down a few times... once for the start of college game day in Wazzou watching about 200 Old Crimsons waving in the background... again for the replay of Iowa wave ...and the fans storming the field in West Lafayette.
Everything is terrible and everything is beautiful. I’m just glad when we have a chance to be together. O-H!
But also on this day, Boiler Up!

I was sitting here having a little pity party for myself when I came upon this post. I really needed this video and the perspective it brought to me. Thank your posting it, and thank you Tyler.

I hate sports but I still cried. What an amazingly strong young man.

"OSU getting blown out ... for the second year in a row"
If it makes you feel better, this is the third year in a row we've lost by 29 or more points. But in 2016 it was to Clemson, so I guess that's marginally less embarrassing.

Word on the street is that Tyler will be on SportsCenter with Scott Van Pelt tomorrow (10/25), if you're interested.
