Season 2, Game 8: @ University of Connecticut
Milwaukee College Penguins (3-4, #93) vs University of Connecticut Huskies (5-2, #47)
University of Connecticut. My first girlfriend was from Connecticut. Even though college football wasn't her "thing", this one's for you! Maybe she does a google search on her old beau? Maybe she found out that I "made it." That I "got the call." That I'm the head coach of a NCAA Division 1 College Football Team, one of only two in the great state of Wisconsin.
That I, and my team, stuck to the game plan never led in our game against the over-achieving Huskies. That I, perhaps unlike how I was in my youth, was able to make half-time adjustments that actually worked to perfection, almost shutting out our opponents while we scored three unanswered touchdowns and our defense caused four fumbles, and recovered them all.
Kind of reminds me of all the times we broke up with each other.
What about that beautiful touchdown pass from Koch (QB #22) to Columbus (WR #82) in the waning seconds of a game already decided? That was me directing them to run up the score, in honor, and in spite, of us.
Yo!
