PITTSBURGH -- Arnold Palmers western Pennsylvania roots ran deep. Cam Atkinson Jersey .While his hometown of Latrobe helped the golf great bring a blue-collar charisma to a gentlemans game, it hardly limited him. The man credited with bringing his sport to the masses had no problem serving as its unofficial ambassador as well.Augusta, Georgia. Orlando, Florida. Winston-Salem, North Carolina. La Quinta, California. Troon, Scotland. Any 19th hole that serves a blend of lemonade and iced tea (Palmers own creation) following a round. The top ranking officer in Arnies Army made his presence felt worldwide. And golf was all the better for it.Palmers death in Pittsburgh on Sunday at 87 left a void that will be impossible to fill. Its only fitting that tributes poured in from all over the globe considering Palmers pivotal role in taking golf to places it has never been. His rise to fame in the late 1950s coincided with the advent of televised sports, giving golf a handsome face (and a brash, remarkable talent) to beam into living rooms worldwide.For all his globe-trotting, however, Palmer never really left home. He maintained a residence in Latrobe throughout his life, not far from the airport that now sports his name and the golf course where he learned to play as a young boy. The Arnold Palmer Regional Airport sits in the heart of the town, not that far from Arnold Palmer Motors or Latrobe Country Club, where the seven-time major champion could still be found during the occasional lazy summer day.Those humble beginnings gave Palmer the foundation and stability he needed to hone his game while also doubling as a launching pad to unprecedented heights. He became a college star at Wake Forest during the late 1940s, winning an NCAA championship in 1949 and after a break for a stint in the Coast Guard, returned to win the ACC championship in 1954 while crediting the university for teaching him things I had no idea existed in the world. His imprint on the university is massive. Theres a residence hall and a golf complex named after him as well as a 9-foot statue of Palmer and his swashbuckling swing in its prime.No alumnus ever has had a bigger impact on Wake Forest University as an ambassador, role model, benefactor and friend than Arnold Palmer, Wake Forest President Nathan O. Hatch said on the schools web siteHatch might as well have been speaking about the world in general. While many of his peers on the PGA Tour opted against competing in the British Open for a variety of reasons (mostly due to the expense of traveling overseas for a pittance in prize money), Palmer made it a priority.You couldnt be a champion without playing in the Open and hopefully winning the Open, he said in 2010 .Something Palmer managed to do in consecutive years in 1961 and 1962, his triumphs giving the tournament credibility in the U.S. and serving as a challenge for his countrymen to get their passport stamped and join him.By then Palmer was already his sports biggest star, his breakout moment coming at the 1958 Masters when soldiers from nearby Fort Gordon adopted Palmer and roared as he captured the first of his four green jackets as Masters champion. Palmer playing at Augusta National was an annual rite for spring for 50 years and he served as an honorary starter following his retirement from the tournament in 2004.Palmers empire continued to expand long after his playing days. He helped make Orlando a golf mecca by remaking the Bay Hill Club (which holds an annual PGA Tour he hosted) and serving as co-founder of the Golf Channel, now a cable TV staple more than 20 years after its debut.He was bi-coastal too, buying a home in La Quinta and opening an eponymous restaurant in 2004, a place that where theres a Masters Room and a British Open room, the menu includes western Pennsylvania staples meatloaf and pot roast and a putting green off the patio.Yet for all his jet-setting -- Palmer was a certified pilot for over half a century -- something about Latrobe always drew him back. His interests were varied. His impact unparalleled. Yet in some ways he was always the young man who watched the first official airmail pickup in 1939 at the airport that would later bear his name: eyes wide with possibility while his feet remained firmly planted on the ground. Lukas Sedlak Jersey . First off, the fans ripped the Cubbies introduction of a fuzzy new kid-friendly mascot named "Clark". Green Blue Jackets Jerseys . But by the time the game started, the Toronto Raptors forward felt even worse. And, for three quarters, it showed as Gay shot a woeful three-for-13 from the field. http://www.authenticbluejacketsshopnhl.com/boone-j...er-jers ey/ . There are some early surprises in the race for the Hart Trophy, but two of the contenders are the leagues biggest stars over the past decade. There are many more players in contention for the awards than just the three that Ive named, and a good or bad week can easily alter the landscape, but through the first 20 or so games of the NHL season, this is how the awards races look to me. FCS Playoffs QuarterfinalThe Matchup -- Richmond (10-3) at No. 2 seed Eastern Washington (11-1)Kickoff -- 4 p.m. ET Saturday at Roos Field (8,600) in Cheney, WashingtonCoverage -- ESPN3Series -- First meetingCoaches: Richmond: Danny Rocco (43-21, five seasons; 90-41 overall); Eastern Washington: Beau Baldwin (84-31, nine seasons; 94-34 overall)Players to Watch -- Richmond: QB Kevin Johnson (30 of 45, 604 yards, 3 TDs; 2 rushing TDs), RB Deontez Thompson (167 carries, 927 yards, 9 TDs; 24 receptions, 211 yards, 2 TDs), WR Brian Brown (77 receptions, 1,441 yards, 11 TDs), DT Winston Craig (57 TT, 11.5 TFL, 8 sacks, 8 QB hurries, 2 blocked kicks), LB Omar Howard (96 TT, 9 TFL, 2 QB hurries); Eastern Washington: QB Gage Gubrud (347 of 505, 4,520 yards, 42 TDs, 11 INTs; 531 rushing yards, 5 TDs), WR/PR Cooper Kupp (101 receptions, 1,392 yards, 14 TDs), WR/KR Shaq Hill (72 receptions, 1,077 yards, 15 TDs), DE Samson Ebukam (60 TT, 9.5 TFL, 6.5 sacks), S Zach Bruce (100 TT, 5 TFL, 3 INTs)The Skinny -- These two perennial powers won two of the three FCS titles prior to North Dakota States current five-year run, Richmond in 2008 and Eastern Washington in 2010. Rocco is considered a candidate for the coaching position at Delaware and Baldwin interviewed with Nevada this week. Richmond, from CAA Football, is making its second long trip of the FCS playoffs, totaling 4,131 miles of travel between North Dakota and Eastern Washington, the two Big Sky Conference co-champs. But the Spiders will arrive with the No. 2-ranked passing defense (156.3 ypg), which is pivotal considering what EWUs offense will throw at them. Cornerbacks Tafon Mainsah and Micah Keels bring good size to the position and have combined for five interceptions and 20 pass breakups. The play of safety Brendan Coniker (88 tackles) has helped commpensate for the season-ending loss of All-American David Jones. Ryan Murray Jersey. Johnson is doing more than just managing the offense since replacing injured QB Kyle Lauletta (ACL tear) at the start of the playoffs. Johnson has committed only one turnover (a fumble) in his first two starts. Griffin Traus game-ending field goal to beat North Dakota 27-24 was his FCS-leading 23rd field goal (out of 26 attempts), and teammate Ricky Segers is 2 of 2 with 50- and 51-yarders. Eastern Washington has improved considerably on defense from porous units of the past. The Eagles shut out Central Arkansas in the second half of their 31-14 second-round win last Saturday. Four defensive players -- Bruce, Ebukam, DT Jay-Tell Tull and LB Miquiyah Zamora (nursing an injury) -- made the All-Big Sky first team. But the Eagles are susceptible against the run (200.1 ypg) and the Spiders will try to control the game clock. Despite the defensive improvement, the Eagles still soar because of their offense. Gubrud is the FCS leader in passing yards and total yards of offense (5,501). His favorite target, Kupp, is the most-decorated wide receiver in FCS history, with his career totals of 412 receptions, 6,156 receiving yards and 68 TD receptions all Division I records. The Eagles have three 1,000-yard receivers with Kupp, Hill and Kendrick Bourne (1,051).Up Next -- The winner will play either Wofford (10-3) or Youngstown State (10-3) in the FCS semifinals Dec. 16 or 17.Prediction -- The Spiders are battle-tested, having beaten five ranked teams, but the travel and the way Eastern Washington will spread them out will have a toll in the second half. Snow showers are possible. Eastern Washington 31-27.
