BARCELONA, Spain -- Wrestling is one of the world's most demanding sports, and it had taken its toll on U.S. Olympic heavyweight Bruce Baumgartner."When I hit 30, I just couldn't move all the time like I used to," said Baumgartner, who will turn 32 in November. "I mean, I had wrestled a lot of matches. My technique was about the same, I just found out my body needed more rest."Instead of retiring, Baumgartner invested in a lot of videotaping equipment. He spent less time on the mat, and more time analyzing opponents and himself.

LOS ANGELES -- It isn't all falling leaves and letter sweaters, marching bands and Saturday shadows. Sometimes, college football's realities sweep through its magic with the sort of gale force that would make a bundled booster shudder. Sometimes, Rudy gets run over. Meet UCLA's Andrew Baumgartner. He is that walk-on wide receiver who tried out for the team on a whim, played well enough in training camp last summer to earn a scholarship, caught a touchdown pass to start the victory over Oklahoma, caught a fourth-down pass on the winning drive against Washington.
