history of Norte Dame Football. He coached the Fighting Irish football team in the 1920’s, which is known as their “Golden Era”. During his time coaching, Rockne won three national championships – transforming this diamond in the rough team to the most popular team in the United States. Knute’s family moved to the United States from Norway when he was only five years old. Once they had settled in Chicago, Knute took to playing football in the Sandlots. Along with football, Knute was a track and field star. Unfortunately, he couldn’t afford to go to college as soon as he graduated so he became a mailman to save money for college.

Thought about all the great times I’d had over the season. And that’s when I realized that this was just a taste of what was to come. With high school coming to an end, football wouldn’t be the only thing I’d never get to do again. I realized that we were all growing up. In a few months, everyone was going to head their separate ways. Some guys would go off and play college ball, and some would go mooch off their parents at home for the next 4 years. But I knew that this was just the start of a…

later rounds that you think many people will “sleep” on or overlook. A player that you feel will have a productive year but may be overseen by many (Fantasy Sports Hero, 2016). To find a “sleeper pick,” look through articles on the internet. Last year this strategy helped me a lot when one of my sleeper picks stepped up and became my number one running back. Step two; The draft. Follow these strategies. While drafting I highly recommend not taking a quarter back in the early rounds. This is…

Tight Ends How have tight ends turned from just another lineman to point scoring machine? One they are bigger than most other plays so they can't be tackled easily, and two they are usually drafted for their catching skills, not their blocking skills. Tight Ends, almost all do some very amazing things, an example of a good tight end is Travis Kelce, who played in college, and the NFL. The position of tight end has changed over time. “As a tight end, I had to learn to block and catch.”(Mccormack,…

already tired of hearing the fashion trends’ ‘New Year, new me’ statements. Well, breathe a sigh of relief, because here you’ll find what you really need to enter 2016 in style; a throwback to the sexy old school styles that had your digital cameras clicking. Whilst it’s easy – in fact necessary, to let go of trends such as fishnet tights and jeans with no back pockets (because the inconvenience is just too much!), these are the trends of the last 3 decades that deserve a comeback as well as the…

Everything felt like it was going in slow motion once I walked into the doors of the hospital. Doctors were running from one end to the other without skipping a beat while families were crying over losses and tragedies. Everything felt so overwhelming, but I knew what I had came to do. My heart began to race as I approached the reception desk. "Can I help you?" the woman asked. I could hear the words she was saying but I couldn 't find anything to say back. She looked at me again and asked…
