Eleven years ago today, on a bitterly cold and snowy night in Minneapolis, my son came into the world. He was a little early, a little small, and kind of perfect. Holding him for the first time has been the single most remarkable event of my life.
But long before his birth, nearly a decade before his existence was even contemplated, November 14th had already been indelibly marked onto my conscious, thanks to a single game of college football.
On November 14, 1998, Kansas State beat Nebraska 40-30 and ended one of the sport’s longest losing streaks.
