It really fuckin sucks.

Besides the sad circumstances of the death itself, I find that in a world of memes, copying tik toks, and the desire of many to follow the masses and tow the party line, Mike Leach was a man who was always true to himself. Always original. Always willing to speak his mind and stand by it.

We need more people in the world like Mike Leach. Not less of them.

Unless they are re-growing brain tissue that's been completely lost, I doubt it.

Unfortunately, if Mike Leach had what I assume he had (from the reporting) the massive coronary likely deprived his brain of both blood flow and oxygen for far too long.

When you have to get choppered to a hospital for a heart attack (i.e. there's no suitable facilities within ambulance range), that says something about the state you're living in.

A. my understanding is the critical issue wasn't the heart attack itself. It was that he went a prolonged amount of time (some reports say 15 minutes) without oxygen to the brain. That makes his situation a lot more serious than "just" a heart attack and demanding of a more specialized hospital than what most general hospitals are equipped to handle.

B. are you saying Ohio has specialized equipment in hospitals that are driving distance from every nook and cranny of the state? I mean that's pretty freaking amazing if so.

C. just in case this post sounded like i was defending Mississippi in anyway ... Fuck Mississippi

I don't think you'd have to go 110 miles. Not every hospital in the state is the Cleveland Clinic or Wexner, but I'm pretty sure that someone in or near Dayton or Youngstown or Toledo wouldn't need to be choppered to Columbus, Cleveland or Cincy.

ok, I don't think you're grasping how small most of these Southern "cities" actually are.
Jackson is the biggest city in the state of Mississippi. By a lot. Maybe close to double the next biggest.

Jackson is about the same size as Dayton.

so while you mention Dayton almost as being a smaller town away from the big cities, in Mississippi, it would be considered THE big city.

hell even the deep south in general.
Ohio has roughly the same population as Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama combined.
