BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Thomas Allen refuses to concede his college football playing career is over.
Are you surprised? Is anyone? Allen is, after all, very much his father's son.
The end is coming, as it does for everyone, and the Indiana linebacker is driven to finish on his terms, not misfortune's.
"You only get to play Division I football once," says the three-time Academic All-Big Ten selection, "and I want to finish my career the right way."
Injuries come, surgeries follow, obstacles arrive and Allen keeps coming, as relentless as Joe Frazier in his boxing prime.
