Moore’s situation is honestly tragic beyond belief. He lost his daughter and wife in a flash, and now it’s just him and his son.
It’s been incredible watching the state rally around him. The entire Wisconsin Badgers community has come together in support.
Moore, who is taking the year away from coaching, is one of ours, and we’ll never forget that.
The time of year when we remember what we’re thankful for in our lives
Each day, each opportunity, we strive to: Do Moore. Be Moore. 4 Moore.

Hopefully, Moore is able to eventually return to the sidelines. Until then, we’re wishing him and his son nothing but the best as they travel the long road of emotional, physical and mental healing.
The state of Wisconsin is absolutely riding with him.
