saw a tweet from former line coach Herb Hand on Twitter and thought I'd share this cool ESPN documentary with Blake Griffin regarding Wilson.
Wilson Holloway
- Thread starter TU Hurricane Warning
- Start date
I have worn my "Just Keep Smiling" shirt one time, to the game recognizing Holloway. I can't bring myself to wear it since then.
I also remember something about someone calling some news outlet who ran a headline saying "ex-University of Tulsa football player passes away." I think Hand called and said he wasn't an ex-Tulsa football player, and they correction the headline and explained in the article he was on a leave of absence due to illness. Could be wrong on the 5 year old details... something like that.
A tragic tale of a great attitude.

I didnt personally know him but he is great inspiration to me. The glass is always half full, there is always someone who has it worse off, and no matter what the circumstances, keep the faith and Just Smile!
