An old farmer ran a stop sign and almost took me out a few years ago.
Condolences to the Mealer family. |

Congrats Elliott...
Blade Article published Thursday, February 7, 2008 Signing, and healing, at UM Bittersweet day for the Mealers Brock Mealer greets brother Elliott just before the Wauseon standout signed his letter of intent yesterday in Ann Arbor. ( THE BLADE/ANDY MORRISON ) By ZACH SILKA BLADE SPORTS WRITER ANN ARBOR - For most high school seniors, signing day marks a day of celebration for four years of hard work and dedication to the game of football. For Wauseon senior Elliott Mealer, signing his national letter of intent yesterday to play for the University of Michigan was all of that, but it also signified a "bittersweet" moment that was just one of many steps in the healing process he and his family are going through. Mealer lost his father, David, and girlfriend, Hollis Richer, in a car accident that also left one of his brothers, 23-year-old Brock, with a crushed lower vertebra while the family was traveling to church this past Christmas Eve. Mealer and his mother, Shelly, were able to walk away from the crash. "It's a bittersweet day," Shelly Mealer said shortly after Elliott signed his letter of intent in front of a few dozen family and friends in the Michigan Room of Damon's in Ann Arbor. "I'm very proud of Elliott and his accomplishments. This has been his dream since the fourth grade." Cont.... |

The writer meant 6 foot 5. You'd think you would get mistakes like that corrected before they are printed.

B - You can't miss out on a player to whom an offer is not extended. C - The article clearly underestimates his true stature. |

Don't think we "missed". I remember reading that the staff informed Elliot early in the process that he likely wouldn't be receiving an offer. I truly hope Elliot has a nice career up north, except of course one game a year. |

I sure hope you wouldn't...there are things that go deeper than football, and this is a good example. I just hope his time in Michigan helps the healing process and that he has a successful career up north. He would have been a Buckeye with an offer. I just can't imagine being put in his shoes and things like this can put perspective on how fortunate we are, and as JT says, how grateful we should be. Best of luck to you Elliot.
