This Is Not a Football Story

Last Saturday, Ohio State and Michigan finished their football season the way they always do—playing head-to-head in a game that redefines the term “rivalry.” Even though Michigan’s record was dreadful this season, the game was still huge. It always is. Many consider Ohio State/Michigan to be the greatest rivalry in college football. Others believe it’s the greatest rivalry in all of sports.

But this isn’t a sports story.

Tyler Charles shares the heartbreaking, yet heartwarming, story of Stephanie and Chris Spielman at the Burnside Writers Collective.

  • Hey, thanks for linking to my article.

    I was incredibly moved by the Spielmans’ story, so I’m glad to see other people are also being touched by it.

    God Bless,
    Tyler Charles

  • Thank you for your comment Tyler. I had lost touch with the Spielmans’ story over the years but was extremely saddened to hear that she had passed.

    I read your post on your personal blog about the writing of this. I agree, sometimes there are stories that just need to be told. I thought your article did a wonderful job of presenting how they inspired so many others.
