I wouldn’t want them to say why I had to leave. Can you imagine “Mike got sick and had to leave”. Well, since he wasn’t sniffling earlier, you can only assume “sick” means he is either sitting on the toilet or barfing and it’s not something you want people picturing you doing right at that second.
Hopefully it’s just something temporary, and not a family emergency or more severe medical problem.
He was a good footbal player, and from what I hear and see, a great dad.
I remember watching a game where the coach, the great Ty Willingham, was missing. This was somewhere in the middle of the third quarter, I believe. He came running on the field with that classic “God, can’t a man take a dump without the assistants letting the opposing team score” look on his face. No wonder ND fired him.
