Milton Knox Is The Man!

Bumped. GO BRUINS. -N

Dohn:

I give a lot of credit to Milton Knox for being at practice Thursday. I heard great things about his character during the recruiting process, and saw it first hand Thursday.
Knox said his father, Milton Sr., suffered a minor heart attack Wednesday and underwent bypass surgery.
"I was with him all night at the hospital,'' Knox said. "They said he is going to be all right, and were even talking about him coming home early.''
Milton Jr. easily could have bagged practice, especially knowing he is playing on the scout team, but chose to take part in it anyway.

My prayers are with Milton's Dad. It will be really cool if all of you leave a comment in this thread showing Milton the Nation is with him.

Go Bruins!!!!!

Best wishes

Dealing with illness in the family is never easy, and probably less so during this time of the year for you Milton. My hope for a speedy recovery! I’m sure your father wants nothing more than see his son do well on and off the field, and we all know you’re making him proud!

Our sincerest wishes for a speedy recovery...

and thank you for representing our University with pride and dignity. All the best to your dad.

Being Around

Your Dad is going to get better and be around to watch his son Milton Knox play football for a long time. Best wishes.

Been there, Milton

I’ve had the same situation with my dad, and so have a lot of your Bruin brothers and sisters. We know that your mind and heart are elsewhere. We’re behind you all the way if you want to take some time to handle the important stuff (family.) Anyway, don’t think you’re alone. You have a mass of humanity here who are your extended family, and we’re praying for your dad.

My thoughts and prayers...

…are with you and your family, Milton. I’m proud that you are a Bruin!

Go Bruins.

Mr. Knox, You're in our prayers

Prayers for a full and speedy recovery!

I may work with the Waves, but I'm still a Bruin!

Best wishes to you two and your family, from your extended Bruin family.
