Dear Quarterbackers;
My heart is heavy as I know yours will be. LaTain McGhee,
long time Quarterback Club member, former KQBC president, high school official,
husband, father and friend passed away on Saturday at St. Mary’s hospital.
I will miss his cheerful smile, sunny disposition and soft
spoken encouragement. I will miss our discussions about our faith and seeing him
on Monday at the Quarterback Club. Most of all, I will miss his friendship. All
of us who knew him are better off because of it. I am truly thankful for LaTain
McGhee.
I am also thankful for the Knoxville Quarterback Club, where
we celebrate wins and try to forget about the losses! Celebration will rule
Monday since the world order has been re-established by our win over
Vanderbilt. Daggum it, we needed that! Let’s keep the momentum and finish out
with a home win over Kentucky, while celebrating one of the best coaching
tenures this school, conference and nation has ever seen in Phillip Fulmer. Yes,
we have much to be thankful for this week!
Tom Lemming and Jamie Newberg will share the podium at
Calhouns Monday as our guest speakers. Widely known as two of the very best
recruiting analyst in the nation, they will give us insight into football’s
second season, which is the countdown to signing day.
It has been a long season. This upcoming week will be full of
emotion…it already is.
