@JeffWildma83285 Proud of you guys today! Great job!

[Mike Ballard @mikeballard327]

Oklahoma State up 36 to 30 against #6 Oregon in the fourth quarter. And they have the ball. Great to see it.

[Mike Ballard @mikeballard327]

Michigan's BYU coaches look great! Jay Hill is elite. Getting quite a following in Michigan.

A janitor at Boston College worked the overnight shift for more than 20 years. Not because he had to. Because the university has a policy that lets employees' children attend tuition free.

Fred Vautour took the job with a plan. If he worked at Boston College, his kids could go there for nothing. All they had to do was get accepted.

All five of them did.

His oldest, Amy, started in 1998. His youngest, Alicia, graduated in May 2016. One by one, each of his children applied, got in, and earned their degree from one of the top private universities in the country without paying a dime in tuition.

The family saved an estimated $700,000.

Vautour cleaned bathrooms and mopped floors on the graveyard shift while his children slept in dorm rooms down the hall. He never asked for recognition. He just kept showing up, year after year, so they wouldn't have to carry debt.

Five kids. Five degrees. Zero dollars in tuition. All because their dad picked up a mop

@KysonRegan25 Why do you have USC and Louisville each on there twice?

It's been fun to watch from afar. Thanks for sharing.

[Prinze Doe/ Kevin Doe journey in College at BYU @pdoe26]

The journey continue...

@braves2430 Joe Namath!

[Warren Sharp @SharpFootball]

impossible for one guy to be more right while another is more wrong in a single video

glorious

[Mike Ballard @mikeballard327]

Hey, @hertz fix this. Do better.

[Giles @GilesLMcKenzie]

@ShabirMukhtar @Hertz They didn't. They just wanted to connect me to customer service and I had already done that twice and they told me there was nothing they could do. They just offered to waive the cancelation fee.

[Clark County Nevada @ClarkCountyNV]

Back home in the Las #Vegas Valley! Paseo Verde @LittleLeague arrived at @LASairport to a water arch salute and plenty of hugs and smiles from friends and family.

The return home caps a run that saw them win the state title, the Mountain Region title and the U.S. Championship.

[Mike Ballard @mikeballard327]

Rough game. @unlvfootball lacks depth on the offensive line. Very disappointing fourth quarter.

[Mike Ballard @mikeballard327]

@RoyalCoug So would BYU lose to Montana State?

[Jonathan Tavernari @For3JT]

HANG IT IN THE LOUVRE!!!!!!
