Portland Remembers Allen

Pokey Allen, the popular former head football coach at Boise State and Portland State universities, was remembered as a humorist, a friend and a great coach by those closest to him.

During a memorial service in Portland, Al Egg, team chaplain at Portland State, told a crowd of more than 300 not to mourn Allen, but to celebrate his life as he would have wanted.

Virginia defensive back Ronde Barber said he is forgoing his final year of college eligibility and making himself available for the NFL draft. Joining him will be Tony Daniels, a junior defensive end at Texas Tech.
