Born in upstate New York, he went to college at John Carroll but over the last 4 years he became the definition of a BC Guy. We felt a special connection to Russert because he spoke at our BC graduation. One of the biggest thrills that came from writing this blog was when he showed his RFH shirt on Meet The Press with a smile from earhttp://ryanforheisman.blogspot.com/2008/06/tim-russert-1950-2008.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (RFH)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554842346740066167.post-1422306382529600333Fri, 15 Feb 2008 20:53:00 +00002008-12-09T19:51:57.753-05:002 Eagles need your help, RFH readers.First, Nathan Gerbe is a finalist for the Hobey Baker and the fans have a say.

Unfortunately, Matt Ryan did not receive an invite. We are not mad, simply disappointed. Matty deserved to be in New York.

A while back, RFH2 asked us what it would take for Matt Ryan to have his number retired by BC. Our response was that there is an unwritten rule that in order to have his number retired, a player had to win a major award. Only three (eventually four) BC athletes have been so honored.
