Sobering Reminder: By now you've probably heard about the tragic death of Bradley University soccer player Danny Dahlquist last Fall. He was killed when his friends set fireworks off under his bedroom door as a prank during a party. ESPN's Ben Houser visited the topic again as the anniversary nears, providing a sobering reminder to all college-bound students and athletes alike to use their heads.
Happy Birthday Mom: Thanks for everything you do. Hope you have a great day, holiday weekend, and year. See you soon! - Love, Chris
