Jack Hoffman is one of With Leather's (and everybody else's) favorite people.

If you don't recognize the name, he's the 7-year old brain cancer patient who ran for a 69-yard touchdown during the Nebraska Cornhuskers’ recent spring game. He’s been a celebrity ever since, getting his own Upper Deck card and hanging out (and assumedly talking health care reform) with President Obama. He’d be dating a Kardashian if … you know, he wasn’t 7.

Anyway, Jack’s latest moment of stardom occurred at the College World Series, an event that this year has already proven itself dangerous for children. Why is Jack Hoffman even at the College World Series, you might ask? For a very special reason.

While Mississippi State was putting the finishing touches on a come-from-behind 5-4 win over Indiana at the College World Series in Omaha, one family was making a memory that would last a lifetime as a young girl proudly snagged herself her very first foul ball. Of course, the problem with bringing kids to the ballpark is that if one kid gets something, the others soon become jealous and filled with a tiny-but-powerful rage that could end up ruining an otherwise peaceful day of ruining the days of the people around them.

So as this young girl celebrated her souvenir, the other children around her – some if not all presumably her siblings – became instantly jealous and their basic human instincts of kill or be killed kicked in.

What started as a way for guys to gawk at the seemingly endless supply of large-breasted women at the University of Kansas – you know, all in the name of supporting the men’s basketball team – ended up becoming a nationwide fad with copycats and clones popping up left and right. The Twitter account @KUBoobs became an overnight sensation earlier this year after it became the go-to source for really stretched out Jayhawks shirts. Also, because BEWBZ RULZ!

Soon after, there were Kentucky Boobs, Yale Boobs, DeVry Boobs and Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale Boobs (for which you had to draw a turtle and pirate to have published) and college sports was alive with the sound of dads crying. Alas, we all knew way back in the dark corners of our minds that this couldn’t last, and on Monday the folks responsible for KU Boobs received a cease and desist from the University of Kansas.

Cut off the head, lawyers, and the rest of the boobs will die.

And now, Cal State Fullerton’s extremely ‘Game Of Thrones’-named Austin Kingsolver getting a slider to the dick. Barney’s college baseball team had heart — but baseball in the groin had a baseball in the groin. (h/t to Bob’s Blitz)

Wyoming coach Dave Christensen wants his team to be fast. How fast, you ask? So fast that he’s willing to spend all day in photoshop to illustrate it.

The problem is that Dave isn’t exactly a photoshop wizard, so the 2013 Wyoming Cowboys will have to settle for being motivated by an extended gag from an Ashley Burns post. Ladies and gentlemen, behold, auteur Dave Christensen’s masterpiece FastNFurious 13: All Roads Lead To The Endzone.

With Jennie Finch gone, we don’t spend a lot of time writing about women’s softball. It’s a horrible, lookist oversight. But hey, to our credit, the only time we talk about softball at all is when Bill Cosby’s wearing a Ghost Dad softball tee 25 years ago. Even then, softball stories are rarely adorable.

That changes today, thanks to Penn Quakers junior Georgia Guttadauro. She made a great diving catch during the College Station Regional Tournament Central in a game against Arizona and popped up as #2 on SportsCenter’s top 10 plays. That’s a dream come true for a lot of young players, and a rare occurrence for someone who plays non-media-juggernaut sports and/or doesn’t end up starting for the Heat or the Red Sox. What’s adorable is that cameras were on hand to catch Georgia’s reaction to making the list … her smile, her goofy laugh, and her sweet but also-sorta-sad comments like “I’m Georgia, and this is as famous as I’ll ever be.”

You never know, Georgia.
