The Cinderella Story: FGCU Eagles
Next team on my Cinderella list is none other than Florida Gulf Coast. This is a team that is not far from the last time they were the Cinderella Team of the NCAA Tournament. In 2012-2013 they stunned everyone with their high flying athletic team. Defeating Georgetown and San Diego State as a 15 seed […]

Ryan Plugge: Tailgating
“College Football is back.” This might be one of the better sentences in the world besides the typical “I do” or the doctor saying, “It’s a boy/girl.” And my goodness it was 5 straight days of solid college football!
