Bangladesh made its Olympics debut as a nation in 1984. It remains one of 73 countries to never have won a medal of any hue. For that history to change, most Bangladesh sports fans are looking to golfer Siddikur Rahman, fittingly born in the same year that his nation took its bow in Los Angeles.Rahman is also the first Bangladeshi who has qualified directly for the quadrennial event, making the cut for the top 60 golfers in the Olympic rankings in July.Rahman is looking forward to make the most of this opportunity, which he calls the greatest possible thing to have happened in his career.Eta te aami kemni bhaabe inspire hoyechi, eta aami aapna ke bojhatey paarbo na (I cannot explain to you how much inspiration I have taken from this), says Rahman. The lift that the media and the fans back home have given me as well as the pride that I have been feeling since is just phenomenal. Erokom ishara aami kokhono paayini (I have never got this kind of a response before).Qualifying for the Olympics would have been far from Rahmans mind when his association with the sport began as a forecaddie -- or a ballboy, as they are called in Bangladesh -- often employed in golf clubs to walk ahead of the golfers and spot the balls when they land.I used to work at the Kurmitola Golf Club, since I lived within two kilometres of the course, and thats where my interest in the game developed, recalls Rahman of those early days as an eager teenager. My friends used to play, and I would sometimes join them for fun. I never had any equipment or clubs of my own.The turning point came in 1999 when a 15-year-old Rahman was invited by his employers to participate in a selection trial for the national team. Playing with equipment and clothing loaned out by the club he worked for on a daily basis, Rahman says he staved off competition from 150 others to earn a place in the national team.You must realise that golf is a very new sport for Bangladesh, he says when talking of his first eight years as an amateur, a time that included an appearance in the individual event in the 2006 Asian Games in Doha. Though there have been professional golfers before me, nobody has competed on the Asian Tour or won professionally abroad before me. But the best part of this qualification has been the appreciation that I have got.Rahman is the winner of the Brunei Open 2010 and Indian Open 2013, both Asian Tour events which had several familiar names on the major circuit. Two of those names were tied-second and a shot behind him when he won the Indian Open in New Delhi three years ago. I am looking forward to meeting both Anirban Lahiri and SSP Chawrasia, says Rahman. Anirban and I turned pro in the same year. Anirban and I won our [foursomes] match in the EurAsia Cup [in 2014]. Its great fun meeting these guys because we speak the same languages. I have picked up a fair amount of Hindi and they speak Bangla well too.Rahman would do well to heed the advice of Asif Hossain Khan, who went into the 2004 Athens Olympics as the reigning Commonwealth Games champion in the mens 10m air rifle, but finished 35th after failing to qualify for the final. The step up from the Asian Games and the Commonwealth Games up to the Olympics is a massive one, says Khan. You can get overexcited sometimes, and there is always pressure. When I won gold at the Commonwealth Games I was really happy, but you realise that your responsibilities go up too. I would just tell Siddikur and the other debutants not to try too many things and carry the honour of the country.Another connection between Khan and Rahman is that they were both the flagbearers for their modest contingents at the opening ceremony -- Rahman had four wildcard compatriots for company as opposed to Khans three.Khan remembers meeting Abhinav Bindra among other sportspersons and cherishes how all sportspersons he met treated him with respect. Rahman too has his sights set on the stars he admires and wants to meet. I would want to meet Roger Federer, Michael Phelps and the Williams sisters, he says. If I meet them, I would love to have a chat and maybe take a selfie with them.His focus has always been on the game, as one would expect from someone who has kept up his habit of spending eight hours every day in practice since landing in Rio de Janeiro on August 3.Golf is a very strange game, says Rahman. Your time can come on any given day. I just want to seek the blessings of my countrymen. Please pray for me. I want to perform well. This will be a massive moment for me.(Additional reporting by Mohammad Isam in Dhaka)Fake NFL Jerseys Free Shipping . -- Bobby Ryan helped the U. Fake NFL Jerseys Cheap .

It was the most touchdown passes for a Beaver since 2013.Guys were just making plays, bottom line, McMaryion said. The play calls were there, real simple.

It definitely played dividends.Ryan Nall ran for 124 yards and another score while Jordan Villamin caught six passes for 124 yards in just the second conference win for the Beavers (3-8, 2-6-Pac-12).It was the eighth straight loss for the Wildcats (2-9, 0-8), who have been overwhelmed by injuries this season.

Thats big for us, because it hasnt gone that way a lot of times in certain scenarios. But I thought he was accurate and when he was accurate the ball got caught.THE TAKEAWAYArizona: Arizona went into the game ranked at the bottom of the Pac-12 for scoring offense with an average of 22.4 points per game. ... Rodriguez said afterward that Solomon injured his toe.Oregon State: With two wins in the Pac-12, the Beavers pull even with the rival Oregon Ducks, who won their second league game earlier in the day in a 30-28 upset of No. 11 Utah.

Collins, who is most likely done for the season, had 36 catches for 418 yards this season.Linebacker Manase Hungalu said afterward: That was our motivation. This whole team is built around family.
