While many of us get ready to gorge on the college football bowl season that started today, I would be remiss if I didn’t give a shout out to my hometown Richmond Spiders football team. They won the Division 1-AA football championship last night, the first team sport championship in the history of the university.
(I do refuse to call 1-AA the FCS, as they are now officially designated. Just an awful attempt to justify the BCS mess.)
If you didn’t watch the game last night, you probably don’t know background on the coach, which is straight out of central casting. The former team MVP returns to coach his alma mater and wins championship in his first year there. But prior to all that, he started out as an undercover cop before becoming a coach. And he’s also given a bone marrow transplant to one of his own daughters.
Game summary clip is below. Congrats again to the Richmond football team on a well-earned championship.
