Last December, a few days before the Arizona Cardinals were set to play the Seattle Seahawks, Dave McGinnis, then the Cardinals' head coach, got a call from U.S. Army Specialist Pat Tillman. Eighteen months after trading his Cardinals jersey for government-issue camouflage and six months after returning from a tour of duty in Iraq, Tillman was back with his 75th Army Ranger Regiment at its base in Fort Lewis, Wash.

...former college wrestler. Like a lot of young Californians, the long-haired Pat Jr. could embody the surfer dude. In fact, dude was one of his favorite words.

It would be tragic if every one of these theaters were to close its, well, front gates?...
...course, the Crimson hasn’t lost on its home courts in Allston in more than two years, highlighted by an upset win over No. 16 Arizona in the second round of last year’s tournament. So a hiccough against relative weakling Dartmouth, given the match’s significance, was out of the question...
