The game does not always involve just football. After all, you went through hell to borrow an ID, sold your soul to get a ride to West Point to get 10 Year Old Charter, worried for 3 weeks, and finally ended up with a blind date . . . face it buddy, it is a test of your strength, endurance and most of all, that characteristic we all strive for . . . the ability to maintain that rare kind of genuine cool. Whoever said that football was a game for only the strong and rugged told it like it was, because if you can sit through four quarters wearing a wool suit in 104° weather, drinking bourb on, dirt, and coke in the blinding sun, trying to pave the way to get you some, then you ' re tough as nails, and don ' t let anybody tell you anything different.
