“Santa Cooley” … you’ve got to watch this

Who knew?
Who knew that our old head coach at Fairfield, Ed Cooley, was a TV star? Just check out this video created by the Providence athletic department. The Santa cap looks good on him, don’t you think?

Campbell finishes two laps in “Toughest Mudder”

by:

On Sunday, I wrote a column on a local guy competiting in the “World’s Toughest Mudder” event in Englishtown. N.J. It’s a 12-mile obstacle course set up by the British Army Rangers with such fun things as climbing a 10-foot wall (and jumping into a lake of water), crawling under barbed wire, running through a wall of fire, sliding down a zip line, you know … everyday stuff. NOT!
Well, the local guy, Brandon Campbell of Stamford completed two trips — that’s 24 miles — around the course before the cold and the wet forced him to end his competiton. Not bad at all.

In case you missed it, here’s the link to the column:
