And I wonder if those in the media who are always looking for an excuse to criticize us publicly will even mention this. I pay no attention to them other than what's reposted here. Have they ever mentioned it in the past when we've done such things?

The donation page takes 2 seconds to create. Should have been done so when the story was shared nationally they have an actual answer to eager fans wanting to help.

Then why didn't you start something? Anyone can do it.

I don’t have a twitter account…..is it required to use GoFundMe? I can’t fine the link to donate.

No you don't need Twitter. Go to GoFundMe.com and search Zakai Ziegler.

Well that's enough to make me hope Kerry Dixon is NOT the hire.

I think that’s who it’s going to be

Tell me this won't help with Nico's mom in a few days 😏

Come to UT...and we take care of you, as family does.

That's cool and everything, but I appreciate the little, no-name guy that donates $20 and makes about $600 a week, even more

Over 3200 have donated an average of $60+

So sorry. Praying now, Soda.

Score was 78-75 Vandy, with 29 seconds left. I think staying up by 3 and eating 10-15 more seconds off the clock and trying to force them to foul helps more than going up 5 and there still being 25+ seconds left.

So to end it Pippen gets blocked, Wright turns it over out of a timeout, Fleming nails a 3 (same guy who blocked Pippen), Pippen draws a foul and misses the front end of the 1 & 1, Castleton rebounds it then ices it at the free throw line.

Still can't fathom what Pippen was thinking joining Vandy. There are a metric ton of good basketball schools to choose from and many have academics that are as good or better than Vandy. Unless he simply wanted to live in Nashville, Vanderbilt really doesn't offer anything he couldn't get some place else.

He really wasn’t recruited by many high level schools.

Zakai Zeigler 'overwhelmed' after family loses everything in New York house fire

This is so sad. Barnes explains why Z has not been himself.

Zakai will be fine (if I had to choose when our fire happened it would've been when I was still in college and was in a great support environment and had very few things that couldn't be easily replaced) but his parents are going to need a lot of help and support along the way. I still only have a handful of possessions and am stuck with mostly hand me downs that my cousin and family friends gave me. Short of being made a war refugee, few things in life take everything you have all at once with no hope of ever getting it back.

The media doesn't care about feel good stories. Rarely do you see anything on the nightly news about something good happening in the community. Blood, guts and gore----that's what sells and gets clicks. It's a shame but this is where the world is today

I think there is a difference between tv and print media. I’ve heard print media people say that “feel good” stories do get more clicks.

Probably a connection between Stackhouse and his dad if I had to guess. And maybe believed Stack could develop him.

Prayers for you and your Dad. Praying that God will strengthen you and give you what you need to look after your family.

 

[UTProf]

Wow. They could buy a house with that.
