There is undoubtedly a great deal to be concerned about when it comes to the culture that surrounds football, particularly big time college football. But every now and then, you read about a remarkable relationship between an elite college football player and a girl, one that makes you smile or cry or both. And, much to Brent Musberger’s chagrin, it’s not about that girl.

Curse you, Kazzy! Now I have something in my eye!Report
A week ago, I was a casual supporter of ND and virulent hater of Alabama (a friend went to Auburn, if you must ask). Between Sam’s post and this, I find my opinions have completely reversed. That was seriously the most beautiful story I’ve heard in a very long time.Report
That’s a definite “awwww” story.
As for Musberger, I remember him broadcasting a baseball All-Star game, and ignoring what was happening on the field for most of an inning while he chatted with a few “celebrity guests” who had found their way into the booth. This was a radio broadcast,Report
Is that really all it takes to make someone a virulent hater of a sports team?
All this stuff is a bit over my head.
I love my alma mater. I don’t know who our rivals are though. We have colleagues.Report
Also, contrast this to the scumbag who won the Heisman…
…yeah.Report
And sometimes colleges make up heart breaking stories completely. Like Notre DameReport
