Victories on the field in college football are frequently met with enthusiasm and hoopla. But in between the cheers of the supporters and the excitement of winning, there are other, more subdued moments that are just as important and should be celebrated. Recently, Ryan Day, the acclaimed head coach of the Ohio State Buckeyes, and his cherished wife Christina Spirou Day experienced one such event.
