Murph: The Protector Page #5
than his brother John.
So when he went into college
at 18 or 19,
John was eight or nine.
And he used to bring John
up to school with him
for about a week at a time.
And I would say to him,
"Why would you have
an eight-year-old with you?"
And he'd say,
"Because he's a chick magnet."
A lot of the times he was referred to
as Murph and that was...
he even tried to get that to stick
with us as his nickname.
Mike was very superstitious.
It was incredible.
Whenever it came to sport...
not so much in life, but in athletics.
And he would wear the same shirt
to play football in
without washing it.
That was him.
That's what he would do.
And he would say, "Well, if someone's
gonna have to tackle me,
they're gonna have to
get through the stink."
And so from that day forward,
he was known as Stinky
among our tight group of friends.
He really did love Penn State.
He had really good friends.
He had his home friends.
And everybody always
kept up with each other.
What more could you ask for?
He was happy.
I wasn't quite sure what his path was
gonna be when he went to Penn State,
but it was something
that was in his heart
and something
that he wanted to pursue.
And, you know,
I was very proud of him.
The kid was smarter
and more well-read
because it's not something
that he talked about or let on.
He was a prolific reader,
you know.
He read everything
that he could get his hands on.
But on his list of reading material
he said,
"Look, if you want to get me
something for Christmas,
there's this great book
I'd like called
"The Bear On the Other Side
of the Mountain,"
or "The Bear Over the Mountain."
We didn't put any stock...
it kind of... whew... over our heads.
Afterwards we find out,
"The Bear Over the Mountain"
invasion into Afghanistan.
And it was almost like a clue
that we didn't pick up.
to law school, just because.
As far as we knew,
he was always gonna go to law school.
He had all these accolades,
the grades.
His dad's a lawyer.
That's what his dad wanted him to do.
And Mike, he had the grades.
To my knowledge, got into
U Penn Law School, Tennessee Law.
He didn't really,
like, talk about it much.
He started taking it to the next level.
He started training,
just because
he wanted to be in top shape
before he did it.
So clearly he was getting
prepared for something.
The SEALs... this is crazy,
you know.
It's like the elite of the elite.
And I didn't really, truly believe
that he was gonna do it.
Michael turns to me
and says, "Dad,"
he said, "you know,
we've been talking
