The New York Times does a surprisingly good job of covering college football. They seem to have maybe three reporters on the beat, but make the best of them. Today's paper has a wonderful article about tiny Wofford College, a school with about 1,100 students, and their football team, who play defending Big East champions Maryland this weekend. As the guys on ESPN Game Day would say, what are Wofford doing playing Maryland? They're getting paid! But the story behind the team is what's fascinating, what with the former president of the college now coaching the tight ends, and the leading receiver on the team being legally blind. How can you not love a sport with stories like that?
