Eargle Family - Towers Take
I felt compelled to bump Chip's article this morning on the Eargle family and their daughter Landrey's medical condition. Funny enough, I originally stumbled across the article in the r/CFB thread before I saw it here (I spend way too much time on this site). DawgNation has really elevated our reputation these past few years among CFB with our support of the Gales' family, our travelling fan support, and now our support of the Eargle clan. Check out the thread on Reddit if you're curious to see what other fanbases are saying.
In saying that, I challenge you to lend your support (however you see fit) and continue to improve our reputation as the best fanbase in college football. Cheers!

Let’s make the opener on September 1st $124k day!
Thanks for keeping us informed on this. Great story and proves that we have probably the best and most generous fanbase in all of sports.
Btw- the Go Fund Me has topped $80K

Thank you! Really helps place things in proper perspective.
Glad to see this made it to the forum, just thinking about Chips article and was going to post something. Thanks for posting it fmr33.
Actually need to share credit with @rg34 who posted about this on the 13th.
Thanks everybody for showing what great hearts and class the people of Dawg Nation!

How about some upvotes for @rg34.

Thank you for this. Chips article on the Eargle’s family and their love for one another and faith is great. What Dawgnation has done is outstanding and makes me ever so proud to be a card carrying member of Dawgnation. May the burden be lifted a little bit for that family so they can focus on their daughter.
God Bless you all!
Yeah. Even had Tech fans on reddit acting reasonable. Go figure.
Just an update - The Eargle family has now eclipsed the 91k mark.
If you haven’t given and can spare it, $5 dollars would help.
Way to go dawgnation.
Thought for the day. ......
What if every patron in expanded Sanford Stadium (think: West End Zone) dropped a $1 bill into a collection helmet on September 1?
Just a dollar would mean $96K.
That would totally change the life of that family and their needs for that little girl’s care.
@JeffSentell
If everyone would just think about that for a second. $1 dollar is not much to donate. It can hardly buy a can of Coke. Maybe we all on this forum can give them a fundraiser boost on opening day. I feel like if folks just thought about the “what if it was them” for one second, we can really move a mountain for the Eargle’s.
I had that same thought too. Get the mover and shakers on this @JeffSentell and make it happen......
Makes a great storyline for the TV Network - Would they be able to do a story on it with a plug to the GoFundMe site?
Idea, how can we/one bump this story and the opp to contribute on to each team fan base that Austin P plays this year? I just don’t want this to fade where it is and they (family) not reach the $125,000 goal ?
Good Onya Dawgnation. Almost there!
I put another 10 in the pot. I think it is a good thing for Gawgnation.
