"One of his staff members, Tim Maloney, took a picture of the marquee and gave it to his boss in a frame. Donovan looked at it often."

What an incredibly classy thing to do, now that is a real friend.

Jesus, I could not finish that. On the plus side, I still have good memories of Billy D on those PC teams. And who knew Rick Pitino could give relationship advice?

This article deals with the deaths of babies and infants in case that is too much for you to read.

I first read this article some time ago - I graduated from Bama and was rather interested when Grant was hired. He's been a great coach and solid guy for us.

Great article and well written... but if you can finish it without a tear in your eye, you're not human.
