No he didn't & he knows it. Sorry the kid has cancer but don't for insult his intelligence by telling him he actually scored.

This.  He went out there with his favorite team, he got to run on the field with his favorite players, and it was probably a blast... but he knows for sure he didn't score.

As long as they weren't playing against... oh, you guys know what school I'm about to reference

Man.  Giving up a run like that is really going to hurt the Blackshirts morale.  I guess all they can do is forget about it and try harder next practice.

I always wonder how many kids die of cancer w/o ever getting a wish fulfilled like this, and if anyone cares

Terrible defense.  Pelini is going to tear them all new assholes.

I've seen Michigan State do something like this before as well, years ago. The defenders had more fun with it, letting the kid run into them and diving like they were hit by a car. Or pretending to try and tackle the kid and whiff horribly.

Gotta remember, a lot of these kids have little brothers or sisters at home, so they take care of these make a wish/ill kids like family when they can.

I get the gut feeling that 6 year old kid can probably beat you in a foot race.

This is my daly run  10.03mi Distance 1:46:57 Duration 10:40 Avg Pace 1029kCalso probably not :P.

/most of that run is up hill

zippolight2002: Deece: zippolight2002: So maybe he does believe he scored, but when (or if :( ) he grows up to be old enough to watch the video and realize whats going on... I can't believe he wouldn't be say to himself "screw you guys."

Oh, for fark's sake, people!  I can't even...I don't...gaaaahhhh.


/Am I the only one astounded that people think he thinks he actually scored an official touchdown in a regulation game?
///or that that was the point?
///or that if he does, it matters to anyone, anywhere?

Not the point.  Imagine if you did this to a 15 year old, you think he would be happy?  As someone else said, you're insulting the kids intelligence trying to pretend he outran your entire team for a touchdown (official or not).

The point, you missed it, by a wide margin.

Wait, Jack Hoffman finally got to score a touchdown?  This is the best story of the year so far.  I hope he gets to score another one next year. GO BIG RED!

For those that want to be jaded maybe you should know more on his story.  Jack has brain cancer.  He has been able to do quite a few activities with the team, especially Rex Burkhead.  For him I'm sure he was playing football with his friends.  I am so glad to see him on the field and able to run, the last update I had heard on him was his cancer was growing again and inoperable.

It was a nice day for a kid who doesn't get to enjoy too many of those. Why can't people just appreciate it for what it is?

I'm surprised Taylor Martinez didn't fumble the handoff.

baufan2005: That was touching and I enjoying it I really did.  But while he was running part of me was wondering how funny it would be if one the Defensive guys just ran up and laid him out.

Glad I'm not the only one who though of this.  Actually it would be funny if he got laid out and the defensive player stood over him and talked trash.
