Hey guys…today’s a sad day indeed. Not only was Gene Upshaw a great football player, but he was also my best friend’s dad…I recieved the news late last night, and I was truly touched and really suprised. I had no idea he had pancreatic cancer.

I’m really sorry I didn’t get to know him better…I talked to his son just now, I really hope they’re alright in the coming weeks. The timing of this couldn’t be worse, with school starting in two weeks. I only can only hope for the best…
