This is really hard to write but so many of you have loved and cared about Ben that I wanted to let you know. We found out today the cancer had spread throughout Bens organs and there was nothing left we could do-we had to let him go. I’ve had dogs my whole life but Ben was 1 on

Should be mandatory for ALL CFB players AND coaches to watch & study the @ArmyNavyGame. Both teams play hard & w/ passion for 60 minutes-hitting each other as hard as they can every play. Then. they go back to the huddle. No trash. No taunting. They play the game the right way!.

I think any conference commissioner who had a team or teams involved in the postgame fights owes it to his conference and THE SPORT of CFB to study the film very closely and sit anyone who was involved in being an aggressor to help escalate the situation. Sit those involved for.
