Sarah Rudder is at her happiest when she is running, jumping, lifting, pulling weights or generally putting her body through various forms of torture. "If I’m pushing myself and hurting myself, either in training or in an event, it’s a good day," the former Marine said. Veterans Day on Saturday has special significance for Rudder, like all past and present members of the armed forces, but certain anniversaries bring difficult memories for the 41-year-old, whose injuries sustained on Sept. 11, 2001, ultimately led to the amputation of her left leg. Now an elite competitor and reigning CrossFit Games champion as the top female in the below-knee amputee division, Rudder struggled for years after her injuries forced her into a discharge from the military. "Having adaptive sports to be a part of has meant everything to me," Rudder said. "It got me off 20 medications and got me off alcohol. The biggest thing it did was force me to be fully committed to myself." Rudder will be celebrated by FOX NFL Sunday as part of the show’s Veterans Day appreciation, which will air live from the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo., this week. Rudder is one of so many inspirational examples provided by those who serve in commitment to the country. Her story is remarkable.

Looking at these long odds, you'd never know that this program made the national title game and has been a staple to the Big Dance the last three seasons. I’d say the chances are better than not that the Aztecs could play into the second weekend if not deeper in the NCAA Tournament. Lamont Butler and Darrion Trammell return to charge the Aztecs in the backcourt, while USC Trojans transfer Reese Dixon-Waters, who averaged 10 points per game last season, enters the program. This squad has experience, toughness, shot making — and they don’t get blown out. I’ll buy right back into the Aztecs.
