Last year Ulman focused on seizing the moment.

I Am My Brother’s Keeper. I Am My Sister’s Keeper. A slow roar fills the arena as an infectious chant begins… four more years! Tears of joy and hope flow through the crowd while smiles beam from a room of diverse delegates and supporters who are full of pride and excitement for our President, his accomplishments and the prospects on the horizon upon his re-election.

Martin O'Malley used his prime-time slot at the Democratic National Convention Tuesday to make the case for Obama's record on jobs and the economy. The president "is moving America forward, not back," O'Malley repeated, hammering home the Obama campaign's slogan.

1. To Tackle or Not to Tackle? - A Towson special teamer tackled a Kent State linebacker who was in the process of returning a muffed punt THE WRONG WAY. The video is hilarious, with Kent State players blocking for their teammate as he runs the wrong way and Towson players trying to catch him. To make the play even more bizarre (although somewhat less fun) the whole thing was the ref's fault. In college football a muffed punt is a downed ball wherever the other team recovers it, so it was first down for Kent State at the Towson 7. 2.
