Hey Folks,
For nearly two decades, one man quietly faced a challenge that could have changed everything. Instead of stepping away, he continued showing up, inspiring teammates and leaving a lasting mark on the people around him. His journey stretched far beyond the football field, touching some of the biggest names in the sport. Now, as his remarkable chapter comes to an end, those who knew him are sharing stories of courage, friendship, and an impact that reached far beyond the game.
He has won titles with two different Baltimore teams and in two different football leagues.
Your K-Cup Has Been Sitting in a Warehouse for Months
That grocery store pod? It was roasted long before it hit the shelf. Coffee starts losing flavor within weeks of roasting — which is why your morning cup tastes flat, no matter how nice your machine is.
Angelino's does it differently. A third-generation roaster in Los Angeles, they roast, grind, and seal every pod in-house for peak freshness, then ship it to your door within days of roasting. The difference is the first thing you'll notice: real aroma, real flavor, no bitterness.
Mix and match from 50+ specialty coffees, teas, and flavored blends — all Keurig®-compatible — and save more with every box you add, up to 34% off at 12+. Order once whenever you're running low, or subscribe for an extra 5% if that's easier. Entirely up to you.
New customers get 15% off their first order — applied automatically, no code needed.
What do you think of the new fan protocol at practice? |
At Rice University, O.J. Brigance set the school’s all-time career tackles record of 367 while playing his senior season with a broken hand in a cast.
A former high school center who received only one Division I scholarship offer to play linebacker, Brigance still led the Owls in tackles for three consecutive seasons and earned All-Southwest Conference recognition. Teammates later recalled losing every footrace to him despite his lack of ideal size, while coaches pointed to his relentless work ethic and leadership as key factors in shifting the program’s culture.
The 367-tackle mark he established more than three decades ago remains unbroken. That same determination carried him from a long-shot college prospect into a professional career that included stops in the CFL and NFL, where he became known as a special-teams standout.
