For Caleb Farley and family, football is a bandage on a wound

BLACKSBURG, Va. -- Why do we assume, when a loved one dies, they'd spend the afterlife keeping tabs on us? Consider it for a bit, as Virginia Tech's Caleb Farley has, and it starts to sound downright ridiculous. All the mysteries of the universe are at your fingertips, and you're watching a football game? Farley was raised small-town Baptist, wears his faith on his sleeve, and he has given a lot of thought to what heaven might be like. One thing that seems pretty certain is, the great beyond is probably a lot more interesting than whatever we're up to here.
