In honor of this huge Day in recruiting
In honor of this huge day in recruiting, I thought it only appropriate to bring out a little Grantland Rice, and you guys know where I'm going with this. I think we all can indulge ourselves today, in what is a very steep and rich tradition of football that we all love.
"I remember the stand at Thermopylae
the Greek Guard made one day;
I remember the legions that Caesar used
To shatter the Gallic sway;
And I remember across those years
Two banners that crowned the crest,
When Yale was king of the conquered East,
And Michigan ruled the West.
At night in my humble den I dream
Of the glories that used to be-
Of Hannibal taking the Alpine Trail,
Of Drake on the open sea;
And then I wander the ancient ways
To a dream I love the best,
When Yale was king of the conquered East,
And Michigan ruled the West."
-Grantland Rice
And here I thought you were going to kick-off the "jersey watch" for the 8est announcement...
Is absolutely magnificent! Bring on more!

Gotta love some Grantland Rice...
Dear reporters,
I know you want to copy Mr Rice by only using one sentence paragraphs, but he was writing poetry and you're not making complete thoughts.
ZL
that was touching, very moving.
