BTW, if you missed this gem in the comment section, you missed the best part. It's in reference to the excuse-making excerpt from the former NW player about their loss to us in the 96 Citrus Bowl. This guy has a gift:
Man, that excerpt from the defensive back reads like a Ken Burns war documentary
Seriously, play this in the background and read it.
"My dearest Martha, on the morrow we venture forth to engage the dastardly Volunteers in this bowl of assorted tropical fruits. The mood is bleak as we have already faced the desertion of one of our comrades. General Barnett says that I am like to find myself on the front lines in his place, facing the dreadful assault of Peyton Manning. The mans football skills are as imposing and broad as his weird forehead. I fear I may not make it back to you un-burnt. Fever has taken the camp. By the grace of God, it has spared me, but the others are weakened and faltering. Steadfast Darnell has convinced General Barnett to let him lead the charge despite his ails, never one to abandon his fellows. The weather for our battle is fair, but I sense an ill wind blowing for our wild cats. If I should not return to you, please make odd claw gestures at strangers while impugning the merits of their education in my stead. After you, it is my greatest love in this world."
