| Pat Tillman inspires football start to choose West Point |
| 2004-04-28 |
| I don’t have a link for this - sorry. I received it via email but thought RB’ers would enjoy this. Marcus Millen, son of Matt Millen, former Penn State and NFL star and now Detroit Lions’ GM, will soon graduate from Easton, Pennsylvania High. At 6-1, 245, he was a three-year starter at inside linebacker, making 96 tackles during the 2003 regular season. In addition to making the state playoffs this past season, Easton High is a national wrestling power, and young Millen was a state-tournament qualifier in the 215-pound class. He credited Pat Tillman’s example as playing an influential role in his decision to attend West Point |

| #3 West Point's best football teams are always during or right after conflicts. |

| #2 Agreed - Marcus is a prime example of what's right with America - and I wish him the best. Now his Dad - well now, that's a different story... he was too slow, couldn't cover guys coming out of the backfield, had hands like bricks, and Sherry (!!!) he played for the hated 'Niners! What kinda half-hearted Texan are you? S'okay to call Marcus a classy guy, but not a word 'bout that Bayside Buggerhead father of his? Lol! Just kidding - Marcus is someone for all of us to be proud of - and support! Matt's prolly proud as a man can be, I'm sure. Way to go, son, you rock! |
