Bill Ireland won his first against Saint Mary’s, but I think that was before the Gaels started recruiting all those 6-foot-10-inch power forwards from New Zealand.

Jim Fassel thinks back on it now and remembers all the eerie feelings after the world changed forever. The United Airlines plane waiting to depart as one he was traveling on landed in Newark early that September day. United Flight 93. Sitting at the next terminal.

As for the apology Floyd Mayweather Jr. subsequently released via another video, well, there are kiddie pools all around Summerlin that aren’t as shallow.
Jim Livengood wanted most to see a football team with a brain, a side that while not as good and unquestionably not as big or physical as its Midwest opponent, at least gave the appearance of having a clue.
