Some key stats: -Alabama has held the Championship of Life 3 times, for more total days than any other school. -LSU and Auburn are the only other schools to earn it 3 times. -Kalen DeBoer's Washington team held onto it for the longest continuous reign

I wrote the story this is aggregating, so far be it for me to tell anyone how to react, but if I was aggregating that story 10 days later and had access to the ghin, as I assume someone at golf digest does, I would probably note that hugh hasn't posted a score since it ran
The Auburn football program is having recruiting issues that some are blaming on its coach for playing too much golf. 😳
In an industry with more than its fair share of assholes, @ShehanJeyarajah is a shining example of how to treat people, especially the generation coming behind him. One of the best of us, both professionally and personally, and unquestionably deserving of this
