Enter Jake Feathers, and his fiancée Diane Mowery.
When I asked Jerry to take his picture for this post, he said, "Come on, Ryan. I'm crying." I told him not to worry about it because in an hour or so, we are all going to be crying (can't even see the tears in the picture, Jerry). And, just so you know, I may or may not have let out a few mansobs as I read through this post in the media room.
There isn't much that I can say about this last update. I know Joel is extremely tired (aren't we all?), but in a matter of an hour, the Final Four Hours will commence, and before he knows it, he will be sitting on the BJC floor.
