I’ve watched a lot of college basketball and I’ve always enjoyed the Coaches vs. Cancer tournament. It wasn’t until I started tossing up some posts for the tournament that I realized how many of these coaches have had to deal with cancer, specifically breast cancer, in their personal lives. Creighton mens basketballcoach Greg McDermott’s wife Theresa McDermott was diagnosed with breast cancer around 6 years ago. At the time Greg was the head coach at…
It’s not often that we are forced to dip into the retired player pool to come up with a post, even if said retired player is one of our favorites of all time.

With his age in mind, it shouldn’t be too shocking to learn that he’s dating a college student. Brett Lawrie’s girlfriend Paige Brendel is a student at Arizona State University, set to graduate in 2013 with a degree in broadcast journalism. Owning a broadcast journalism degree myself, I can say with a high…
