Pick Hit for College Football Fans and Everyone Else
In the fall of 2008, Mark Herzlich was a junior All American linebacker for the Boston College Eagles. He was expected to compete for the major individual defensive awards as a senior (fall '09) and to be a high NFL draft pick in the spring of 2010. But in the spring of '09, he was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma, a rare and often fatal bone cancer. Fast forward to September 2010: Herzlich is cancer free and attempting a comeback to play major college football!! He might play in BC's opener tomorrow. Keep an eye out - if this happens, it will be one of the most amazing sports stories of our lifetime, truly incredible, and he deserves at least a few minutes of your mindshare. As many of you know, I'm pretty familiar with Ewing's so trust me when I tell you that if Mark actually does play it will be one of the all-time great feats of human will, determination and spirit. Needless to say, our fingers and toes are all crossed here.
What used to be is gone and what ought to be ought not to be so hard
