And he’s coaching tomorrow. Can. Not. Imagine.

I’m out of town but I hope that anyone who can will attend this game and give coach Fish the support he deserves.

Go Cats!

Horrible, my heart goes out to him. I hope he takes some time off to take care of what’s important.

Heartbreaking. Fish is an incredibly strong person to coach this game.

As some here may remember, we lost our Daughter to cancer in Nov of 2015.. Even then, I cannot imagine what Coach Fish is going through. So devastating but Coach is so strong to be able to manage that game today. Our prayers go out to you and your family Coach Fish...

I had forgotten that. But his daughter's death has stuck with me too, for some reason. I have a very young one now, maybe that's why, but I think it's more a new appreciation for coach Fish, and how he's spoken through this of his love for his players, and life lessons he tries to teach. He certainly has some lessons to teach, I'd say, about adversity. Much love to coach, that's all a person can say.

And my prayers go to you and your family for your own loss. I’m sorry to hear that. Cancer is so devastating, and it can progress way too quickly. I pray you and your family experience healing and comfort.
