Earlier there was a post here about Texas losing to Kansas in college football – there is actually a pretty heartwarming story behind that Kansas victory: A Kansas walk-on, a White kid, whose parents were told (based on a genetic test/screening) he would perhaps live only a couple of weeks after birth, and who had played only on special teams, i.e., he had never been on the field for even one offensive play, actually caught the pass in the end zone for the 2-point conversion that gave Kansas the win. Brief video about it at the link below:

N.S.: Considering what a miracle that boy’s life has been, I doubt that his folks could be much more grateful for his football field accomplishment than they are simply to wake up each day, and find him still alive.
