If you get a chance today pick up an Avalanche Journal. There is quite a feature on Jakeem Grant in the sports section. Three kids, a dog, a finance, Mom and brothers all live in town. There was a point in time last year when he could only catch up on sleep during road trips to other Big 12 venues.

I was really disappointed in him a week back when he dropped a ball against Oklahoma very early on. Now I look at him through different eyes. He has a quite a difficult path to walk currently. From the article it would/could appear that Tech football is fourth or fifth or sixth on the priority list. An incredible effort from him given his current production.

I am sure that there are several other stories on every team that would be eye opening if known to the folks cheering (or chiding) from the sidelines.
