Thank you to the patriots that gave their lives in service of the United States of America.
BENEFITS OF PATRIOT WEEK. Urban Meyer debuted Patriot Week last week, which included everything from talks about fallen comrades from Navy SEALs to saying the Pledge of Allegiance to an electronic American flag waving on a practice facility scoreboard before drills.
It affected players, but also staff. And it taught them lessons they'll carry for the rest of their lives.
From espn.com:
[Ohio State director of player development Ryan] Stamper was around for the early versions of Meyer's educational "Real Life Wednesday" classes at Florida, but they hardly compare to the program he's installed since arriving at Ohio State.
