I am incredibly excited about this. I hope there is a sizeable prelude to it. One that takes us through decades of good to great teams and the inevitability that felt like every year. Then, the rich rod dark times, the Denard/Hoke year of fools gold making it seem like the dark time may be over. The return to the darkness. The elation of Harbaugh, the few years of hope, then, the all encompassing, inescapable BPONE and 2020 season to put the final nail in the coffin of our fandom and set in stone the certainty of eventual failure. That is where our story begins. You can't have the true high of this feeling and the true memory of these 3 years without first remembering where it started and how we got there

100%. 

While this is a 3 year story, there is a preamble - the origin story - to this whole thing. In a lot of ways, I think Klatt hit on some of those key points when he reflected on his interactions with Harbaugh over the years and how his demeanor and approach changed after the COVID year. I'd love to dig more into this. 

That said, when are they going to have time to do the 2024 season preview? Will it be all rolled into one? Will you still have a separate 2024 HTTV alongside the 3-year book?

Hells to the yea. 

Go Seth!  

OT = anybody remember those "Pistons" or "RedWings" championship t-shirts that had "caricatures" of the winning players (and coaches) from the '90's. 

If any team needs a caricature championship t-shirt -- its Team 144.  

If the Store, the Store, the Store might commission an artist and sell -- it might be the all-time best.

Wonderful idea. I would add another suggestion, consistent with prior HTTV editions. For an extra X number of dollars, throw in a T-shirt, and you could make up so many good ones that would sell. So many one-liners, or just simply national championship T-shirts, But I’m guessing you’d sell a thousand of them.

Love this.... suggested idea?  Try to figure out how to integrate Opponent Watch into the book. It's one of my many favorite parts of this place. Perhaps just some 'Best Of' lines... or maybe there's an even more creative way to integrate the content.

My mother replied to a text reminder to purchase something for a fundraiser with her credit card number once. We convinced her to get one of those identity theft services. My sister said it was used four different times to get her out of trouble.

Definitely in! Will it have some empty pages for autographs like some real yearbooks? Would be cool if it could also collect player/coach autographs over the years in a dedicated section. Maybe multiple blank pages at the end?
