Now weeping as well as smiling, Pat accepted the British "Oscar" and said: "It shouldn't have been me." The audience exuberantly disagreed...
...scrum's) top prospect. Sione came out for the team in the fall, wanting to play barefoot a la Michigan State kicker Dick Kenney. He competed in one game without shoes before giving in to the concern his fellow players had for his health. But that didn't harm his play.
