Luke Kornet: still an NBA Champion.
We are now 74 days away from Vanderbilt football’s season opener against Virginia Tech. 74 for the Commodores is offensive lineman Steven Losoya. The 6’3”, 309-pound sixth-year senior from Overton High in Nashville is back home after two seasons at Mississippi State and three at MTSU; he started 12 games at right guard last season for the Bulldogs and should be a starter on Vanderbilt’s offensive line this season.

And now, he’s an NBA Champion.
(Also, apparently Steve Tchiengang gets a ring too?)
