Sometimes, it's just hard to say goodbye. Words aren't there, expressions are explained, and truly the unimaginable can't receive a justification as to why it happened. That's a scenario for life, not just sports.
However, in the wide world of athletics, saying goodbye is...
The traveling sports fan is one of the most unique figures in all of athletics, whether collegiate or professional. Driving, flying or even cycling to an event (yes, that's real), in order to see their favorite team doesn't stymie the hardcore sports fan. In fact, miles or kilometers...
