I'll always be a fan of the kids who can get it done on the field and in the classroom, and these guys add some humor to the mix.
Colorado School of Mines, one of the country's top engineering colleges and nestled in the Foothills within sight of Denver, has set the country ablaze with its undefeated season and run atop the Division II rankings.
Led by quarterback and Masters in Computer Science student, John Matocha, the Orediggers are on course for capturing their first national championship. This season Matocha broke the all-time record for total touchdowns at any level of college football.
Go down the roster and you'll see nothing but engineers of every stripe; smart and focused, and outstanding football players. A terrific example of the potential to get it all done with excellence.
Also, it's worth a bit of your time to actually see their roster (https://minesathletics.com/sports/football/roster). You might think these nerdy, intense athletes would bring an equivalent level of seriousness to their profile headshots. Instead you will laugh harder than you ever have viewing a football lineup.
The program has been surprisingly good for a while and lost in the DII championship last year to Ferris State. But this year feels a little different and it appears these engineers have built something truly special.
