Special Announcement: Help save Radford University
We all know what happened at Virginia Tech on Monday morning. It was senseless, it was tragic and it was unprecedented. We were all shocked when we saw the death count jump from one to 20 and then again to 32.
As mentioned earlier this week, The Guys have some strong ties to Radford University, only minutes away from VT.
I have been told by eyewitnesses that the entire town of Radford is in shock and everyone is walking around like zombies. Extremely close to the tragedy, yet too far away to be involved in the mourning process. The shock, the grief, the sense of confusion--it is all 100 percent called for.
It breaks my heart to see the town I have loved so dearly in such condition. It has given me so much (a degree, debt, memories, hangovers, etc.).
By sheer coincidence, The Guys were already planning on heading down there. Initially, the plan was just the same as every other trip back to Radford: getting really drunk and taking pictures of us doing so. But yesterday I had an epiphany. It is time we save the town that has saved us so many times before.
We must bring the cheer back to what was once a cheerful town. Not in disrespect to the tragedy, but in remembrance of how great a college atmosphere can be and a celebration of the participation of every single student to make it that kind of a place. We must revive the spirit of what is a truly great university and remind it of how lucky we have been to be a part of it. It is a celebration of each other and a celebration of life.
That's why SeriouslyGuys.com is sponsoring the effort rescue the students of RU, indeed, the whole campus.
To do this, we must celebrate the way Radford taught us: drink, rejoice, sing and stumble. The louder and more outgoing we are, the better a chance there is that we will rub off on those around us. We could spread through the campus like a vaccine, cleansing everything we touch. We can do it, but we need as many people as we can. Join us in our attempt to revive a campus.
Together, we can fight for this truly noble cause and help them remember not just the recent tragedy, but the countless great times they have had. Are you ready to stand and fight?
