Enjoy, and thanks WH!

I think of Henne whenever I see #7 Michigan jersey.
he was QB when I was in grad school at Berkeley.
waking up at 7am and filling my Austrian stein (it fits a 6-pack of beer) and fucking around making breakfast with the kids until 9am when the game came on … then drinking 24 beers by the time the SEC night game came on at 4:30 then blacking out at 10pm then it was the kids bed time …. man I could fucking DRINK.
Misty water-colored memories

Like the OP, we once had another #7 QB who went on to play baseball. Here's the stub from that one time he outdueled some guy named Joe Montana:

Dragged, kicking and screaming
Just wait till basketball. Just wait till hockey.
It's still the same secondary. It's still the same QB position. It's still the same team down US 23.
But...
There's a chill in the air. There are wings on the helmets. There are memories, stirred up by the sounds and the smells and the march of time.
And you can't help it
It is... exciting.
Football is coming.

Well said.
the smell of a huge pile of leaves my dad made me rake up before taking me out to throw the ball around until my mom called us in for dinner before the sun went down …. that’s ….. that’s it
