Gopher fans and Big Ten watchers will remember Jon Hoese, the fullback who went through quite an emotional time during the 2010 Big Ten football season. Hoese’s dad slipped into a coma on a Friday, the son missed practice most of that week and then returned to play in a stirring game that following weekend for the opener. Watch the video in this post for the complete story. Hoese signed with the defending Super Bowl champions Green Bay Packers as a free agent today. He had spent some time with the team this summer before being cut. Here’s the news release at Packers.com and here’s his NFL player page.

Ohio State point guard Aaron Craft has plenty of brains to go along with his skills on the hardwood. As it’s been reported recently, the sophomore sensation received the first “B” of his academic career last year. And it was a B-plus in chemistry, so it’s not like he should feel bad. On Tuesday, Craft was caught doing a Rubik’s Cube with one hand while conducting a phone interview with CBSSports.com’s Jeff Goodman. So, naturally, BTN asked Craft to give the Rubik’s Cube a try in front of one of our cameras Wednesday. He succeeded. In just more than a minute, too. Watch the video now.
