    Got a death sentence unexpectedly a few months ago but after surgery I'm pain free so blessed. Steve Hartman is what I watch every night, just a few episodes, to still the depression that goes along with cancer. Just brings out the best of people. Thanks Steve and staff for these great heartwarming clips!

    This was 3 years ago, and it still touches me to this day! Amazing!
  • This really brought tears to my eyes. I have a brother with autism and to see how much these kids support him is refreshing..its unfortunately not always the case when it comes to teens and some1 with special needs.

    Damn, he missed every shot with the exception of a pass from the opposition which was his last opportunity: IT WAS MEANT TO BE.

    I remember this story, yea that kid Jonathan is a stud. I say stud, because it takes a real man to make that decision to give the ball up. Even in a hopeless game, but he did. I am very happy Texas Tech stepped up and rewarded good behavior.
  • This is West Texas. I took a class from K. Hance and graduated with a couple degrees in four years.
    I'm so proud to be associated with this University and to represent it everyday.

    Other above self, that's what that fine young man did. Kudos.
  • @Madmun357
    Big time kudos to Texas Tech for stepping up like that. I wish my UTEP would have done that.
  • @ericedwards3055
    Can we get these kids to be our Senators and members of the house and president?
  • @touchdown62
    Why is someone always cutting onions during Steve's stories?
  • Hope Mitchel will be able to attend the ceremony to congratulate his friend in person!
