For better or worse, American football is starting again. We won't be attending any games, but watching them on TV has given my husband a lift. While he watches the games, I work on my own football project, the organization of 15 years of pictures of Brandon's football.
This is one of my favorites, showing University of Louisiana player Emeka Onyenekwu after a particularly wrenching loss to the University of Florida in 2012. I found Emeka on Linkedin. After college graduation and a brief stint in the NFL, he went on to earn a master's degree in business from Tulane University.
A very moving shot- especially when you know the back story. Although this loss was tough, it sounds like both the game and the education turned this young man into a winner.
