Last night, you may have watched -- OK, you probably did watch -- Boise State's thrilling come-from-behind 33-30 victory over Virginia Tech, making Boise State's case (even this early in the college football season) for the BCS national championship game.
↵↵Boise State's quarterback Kellen Moore grew up in Prosser, Washington, a town of 6,000 which isn't much more than a dot on the map about 50 miles southeast of Yakima.
↵↵Yet, according to this CBS Sports profile of Moore, he's a huge Cubs fan:
↵↵Kellen Moore knows the humble. On this day, he is sitting in the SID's office sweaty from a workout wearing a Cubs T-shirt. Yes, he's a fan. It is a point of pride that during an offseason trip to Wrigley Field he sat "10 rows up and 10 rows across" from the seat formerly occupied by Steve Bartman.↵↵
Sigh. That was the first paragraph of the article, and the lazy journalist couldn't help making a quote from Moore about Bartman his lede. If you can get past that and the other Cub cliches used, it's a pretty good profile of a kid who has his head on straight and might, in addition to helping his team win a national title, be a Heisman Trophy candidate.
