His name was Henry V. Porter, and he was writing an essay on the state high school basketball tournament in Illinois. It was 1939.
Thousands gathered over the course of four services at Canyon Ridge Christian Church over the weekend to hear Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow share his Christian beliefs and watch him teach a pastor how to “Tebow,” proper kneel and all.
They can tweet all the expletives they want, and they can set world-record times for getting from a morgue of a locker room to a morgue of a bus, and they can talk about being disappointed until every flake of snow has melted atop the Rockies, but UNLV’s basketball team has only itself to blame for its Mountain West Conference standing today.
Boise State is one of those basketball tonics that can cure the common cold, or in the case of UNLV, a midseason week to forget. The Broncos on the road are almost always a willing participant in a home team’s desire to right its recent wrongs.
