Hoffmann of the Month: August

 It's August now, which means that by the end of this month...college football will be back! It's arguably the best time of the year for a sports fan.

As good as the season may turn out to be, it's likely the most exhilarating football play of 2013 happened at a spring scrimmage. It was a touchdown run by 7-year-old Jack Hoffman, August's "Hoffmann of the Month!"

On the surface, sports don't seem to matter much, in the grand scheme of things. But sometimes, as the video above shows, sports matter a whole heck of a lot.

Best wishes to Jack Hoffman and his family, and to the 'Huskers football team (though I'll still cheer for BYU if the two schools somehow meet in the national championship game). Congrats on your ESPY win, Jack, and on this new, even more prestigious honor--being named Hoffmann of the Month!
