We just found out yesterday that they guy is actually awake and talking to players and coaches. It didn't make sense to do this before because we didn't know if he was going to be alive.

[quote][b]pirkster (9/30/2008)[/b][hr]Am I the only one who thinks this idea is a few weeks late?

The only thing that's happened recently is a press conference. Why does it take a press conference? Were folks not concerned three weeks ago?

Mature responses appreciated.

I don't think the details of his injuries coming out in a press conference should change how we feel about Big Rich, or the fact this idea is a bit late. If there were a game dedicated to Big Rich, it should have been the home opener IMO. First home game since the incident.[/quote]

Hmm maybe because no one knew any of these details until yesterday. We all thought he was doing okay. We did not know the extent.........

I'd say the news isn't all negative...

I'm glad he's alive.

And even though he's not in the best of shape and probably spirits, there's plenty of room for improvement...

C'mon Big Rich, we believe in you!!!

Garrard said last night on the Jaguars show that the team is dedicating this season to Collier. Aside from trying to win out or make the playoffs which is always the ultimate goal, I haven't heard anything else the team has planned. It should be emotional for the players just hearing this bad news but they also have to keep their minds in the game.

[quote][b]JagJim (9/30/2008)[/b][hr][quote][b]Real Deal (9/30/2008)[/b][hr]I say do it this Sunday. He may not be able to watch live from the hospital, but I'm sure someone will tape it, there's YouTube, etc. Since he is coherent enough for his family to release the info (classy move by his family, btw), I'm sure they are telling and showing him how people are responding. I can't attend the game, but I would love to see plenty of signs/shirts/buttons on TV.[/quote]

Just a thought, real deal, and with all due respect...but, and especially in THIS thread, don't you think your avitar is in poor taste? Charming and all...but?

I completely agree.

How? It's the King shooting Ronald McDonald. I don't see how it's related to Richard Collier, and how you could be offended by such an unrelated avatar.

The only reason I suggested waiting until Richard is discharged is he miay not have a TV in his room or be able to watch it in a waiting room that has a TV. It would be better if he could see it live instead of recorded IMHO.

Otherwise, I am all for making Sunday Richard Collier Night. Anything with #76 on it would be great. If I could be at the game, I would make a sign that reads:

WIN IT FOR RICHARD #76

JDR and few players have said that it's actually good that they can talk to him, so I would think that he's doing good. This weekend would be the best because of Sunday Night game and I'm sure the TV crew will be talking about him.

If you guys can get pictures and video of people wearing them and such, me or I'm sure DLight could work on a Richard Collier Tribute video to post on Youtube. Let me know your thoughts about that.

If he is in stable condition now, I would think he would be awake and aware of what is going on around him. It was noted in several articles that he doesn't remember that night, so we know he is awake and talking at times, at least. I wish it wasn't too late to order a jersey of his.

All very good Ideas.

I hope players get #76 stickers for the back of their helmets next to GU/63. Ingram especially is playing for Richard this season because he was at the nightclub at the same time Collier was and knows more than the other Jaguars about the incident. I would definitely want to have a "Richard Collier Day" when everyone knows he is at home watching the game from his new wheelchair. When he is at the hospital there is no guarantee he will be able to watch Sunday's game, so I would wait untilt he is discharged to make sure he sees all those signs fans hold up in the bleachers.

Yeah, Kristin is thinking about having some #76 buttons or teal #76 t-shirts made before Sunday's game and all the games I guess.

She wants to donate all the money to the little boys that Big Rich was taking after.

Sound like anything anyone might be interested in?

I Think we should all make a signs referencing Collier. I'm sure he'll be watching the game from the hospital, so what better way to show support than have a lot of people with signs. I'm sure NBC will mention it. Thoughts?
