Rang my big bell with my two boys (5&2)@ 7:36, each with their little bells.......

God Bless you Nick, your friends and your family

A great crowd began ringing at 7:36 as planned. Then proceeded to circle and while holding hands sang Amazing Grace. I have seen many great things during my life as a State fan. NOTHING and I mean NOTHING will compare to the experience I just witnessed. In this moment, you realize what being a bulldog is all about and I have never been prouder. It's also these rare moments when life is put into perspective; that we were made by God and for God and our time is borrowed from Him. God Bless you and your family Nick. I know you heard us, and I know you were with the Big Guy upstairs ringing a cowbell right back at us. We'll see you soon!<div>

If I live for 100 years, I may never again experience something like what took place in the Junction tonight. There was no one there to lead the "event," so at first there was some indecision, but once everyone circled up most people stood in silent reverence for a minute or so. After a minute of silence, one guy started singing Amazing Grace by himself. Gradually people started singing along, and soon everyone was singing it in a low voice. Everyone there had goosebumps or was fighting back tears. It is hard to even describe how awesome it was.

Amen

and they came over the intercom asking for a moment of silence. The gym went dead quite for the whole minute and I could faintly here a cowbell outside

I wasn't able to make it out to the junction because of voting and everything, but my stepson and I rang ours inthe driveway, I live in a neighborhood with several elderly people but was surprised at how many cowbells I could hear...I feel terrible for the Bell family and my heart goes out to them, at the same time I too have never been more proud to be a Bulldog!

of 36 in Brandon (Castlewoods) and I could hear more than one bell ringing in the distance. Pretty emotional deal. God bless Nick's family, friends and teammates. RIPyoung man. The Lord welcomed a good and faithful servant home yesterday.</p>

Rang mine in Madison last night.....as my wife and I walked outside we could hear a faint bell in the distance. Definitely brought a tear to my eye........

Crazy how the death of a kid that 99% of us have never met brings such a sadness over us all......I just hope and pray that somehow somebody with gain something from his death. I firmly believe that all things happen for a reason and maybe the Good Lord plans to use Nick's death as a way to reach somebody or to bring this team closer together......whatever it is I know some good will come of it.

Maybe it will teach us all a lesson that life is never guaranteed, not even for another minute. We should all take something from this and realize that our life is short and we should live life as if it were our last day. Live with NO REGRETS and get right with the Lord so that when your day comes you will get to play on Nick's team in Heaven!!!!
