Former Zip

http://www.tuckahoeortho.com/physicians.htmI was in Virginia this week and I contacted an old roommate Shannon Wolfe, or should I say Dr. Shannon Wolfe, and we went out for some drinks. If you click on this link and scroll down a little, you can see him.For those of you who don't know, Shannon was a four year starter at DB from 1987 to 1990 and was a good player, not great, but good. Most importantly, he was a straight A student. Every day, seven days a week, he studied until 2AM, including Friday and Saturday. I've actually never been around someone that dedicated to something.Anyhow, I just thought I would give the board proof that it is really possible to be a student and an athlete. Shannon was a good guy when we were young and an even better person now.

Wow, I remember watching Shannon play, back in the good(?) old Faust days. I didn't know he had also served as the Zips team doctor. It's good to see an alum & former player doing well.

GP1, Just like the NCAA commercial says, there are thousands of NCAA athletes, and most of the go pro in something OTHER than their sports. I know many from my days that have moved on to be very successful. I wouldn't hold Shannon up as an exception, because there are many of us doing similar things in our fields.

Well put.
