zip37 Posted December 17, 2009 Report Posted December 17, 2009 WOW, WHAT A GREAT YOUNG MAN, TO OVERCOME ALL THAT LOUSY BACKGROUND! Quote
ksu sucks Posted December 17, 2009 Report Posted December 17, 2009 I hope he wins it. I respect him more than most of the scholarship guys. That takes some serious motivation. Good luck to him in his career here at UA and in life. Quote
GJGood Posted December 17, 2009 Report Posted December 17, 2009 From an Akron alum and fellow Brookhaven High alum, Congrats LeVon. Quote
RootforRoo44 Posted December 17, 2009 Report Posted December 17, 2009 That story is almost too unbelievable to be believable. I thought it was a joke website at first. Quote
xu9697 Posted December 17, 2009 Report Posted December 17, 2009 And I thought I was busy with 1 job, a wife, a 3 year old, 1 year old and a home. Amazing what he is doing. These are the stories that don't get enough exposure in the media!!!!Awesome work, LeVon!!! Quote
scottditzen Posted December 17, 2009 Report Posted December 17, 2009 Inspirational story got me wondering....who was our player that overcame injury from a car accident where his best friend (who was in the Army) died? Amazing article, but I can't find the article. Anyone remember??? Quote

johnnyzip84 Posted December 17, 2009 Report Posted December 17, 2009 Congratulations aren't enough. It would be great to see him on the field this coming season. Either way, he'll be a tremendous asset to any organization in the future. Quote

Good luck to him in his career here at UA and in life.Ditto, but I predict he will come in second. The kid from Missouri also had a drug addicted mother AND she killed his father. The judges in these events really get into that kind of thing. Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted December 18, 2009 Report Posted December 18, 2009 ESPN ArticlePer Elton John, Levon's son will apparently also attend UA --Levon wears his war wound like a crownHe calls his child Jesus`Cause he likes the nameAnd he sends him to the finest school in townA little more on Levon's personal bio (below) -He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas dayWhen the New York Times said God is deadAnd the war's begunAlvin Tostig has a son todayAnd he shall be LevonAnd he shall be a good manAnd he shall be LevonIn tradition with the family planAnd he shall be LevonAnd he shall be a good manHe shall be Levon Quote

The BCS conference champions automatically qualify for a spot in the BCS bowl games. The non-AQ conferences do not. Quote

Graham Watson reports on the non-BCS conferences and she, along with the rest of ESPN, calls them the "non-AQ conferences" because the term non-BCS makes the BCS look exclusive (which it is). Quote
