Hey, to the Merritt family…
My thoughts and prayers to all of you. LSU would go one to win the National Championship, Auburn was 2nd. As for that jerk who killed Mikey? Bama finished 3rd! The 3 people who received the gift of life are now LSU/Auburn fans now because of Mikey. It Just Means More…to stop fan violence. God bless.
