Remembering Reese: Graduation day

Thanks to Chris "80" Smith (on the right) for posting this photo on Facebook from Commencement 2001, with teammate and friend Greg Salamone (on the left). The not-so-old (at the time) coach is in the middle. This post will serve as the first of many in the coming weeks that I will dub "Remembering Reese" -- tributes, funny stories and remembrances of Greg Salamone, who passed away two weeks ago today at 35 after battling melanoma. "Reese" comes from his nickname throughout college, which was alternated between "Reese" and "Reese's" for the silliest of reasons: When he came for his recruiting visit in the winter of 1997, he was wearing a "Reese's Pieces" T-shirt. Thus, the nickname.
