The loss was particularly tough on his father, who had a lot riding on that match…both financially and personally.

Today is a THEME DAY. Theme days can be overt, or they can be subtle and connected, in such a way that figuring out the theme may help you answer the questions.

Dave Casper, a tight end, was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2002 after a decade-long career spent with three franchises, and made the College Football Hall of Fame for his exploits at Notre Dame.
