I posted this in the MU thread, but this transcends football.

Linda Wallace has never been to prom.

As a senior at Fayette High School, Linda's teacher, Bridget Hussey, wanted her to go. So Hussey thought to herself, "What would make Linda dance?"

Linda, who suffers from cerebral palsy, loves Mizzou Football. One simple phone call landed two dates to remember: wide receiver T.J. Moe and quarterback Corbin Berkstresser.

The two instantly agreed to escort Linda and surprised her Saturday night. Linda dressed in black, with Tiger nail polish, matching her two Tiger dates. The three were announced in front of the town at Fayette, took plenty of pictures, and of course, danced the night away at prom.

Well those 2 players are obviously not Missouri natives, they would never do something that nice.

[Pitt Gorilla]

Well those 2 players are obviously not Missouri natives, they would never do something that nice.Moe is from O'Fallon and Berk is from Lee's Summit, I believe.

[gblowfish]

I love my Tigers. TJ Moe is a good guy especially.

[CHENZ A!]

Very nice of this kid to take two handicapped guys to prom.

































Kidding! I love stories like this.

I especially like this story since the woman in the desk next to me has a daughter with down's syndrome and she 'graduated' last weekend.

Her dad took her to prom and my desk neighbor, with friends, went dress shopping knowing there would never be wedding dress shopping.

The kids from her class came up to her and all commented on how pretty she looked. There is hope for our youth yet.
