Bowdoin College grad. Played D3 football, and we stunk. I also played ice hockey. We had terrific hockey teams. I was a mediocre 3rd, and 4th line guy and on the 1st penalty kill team.

Once a month our hockey fan lobster fisherman friends did an 'old fashioned' lobster bake for us at the frat. Dug a hole in the ground and cooked lobster, clams, and baked potatoes in layers of steamed seaweed. Sweet company to more than a few kegs of beer.

We gave the lobstermen a few bottles of scotch and they stayed up all night and made all-world lobster/clam chowder for us to scoff down and help with our hangover cure in the morning.

Our hockey coach, Sid Watson, made the Hockey HOF. Sid played 3 years at running back for the Steelers. Sid was the last guy to make the cut in his rookie season. The guy who didn't make the squad? Johnny Unitas. We all make mistakes.

Love your writing regarding sports and also the 'touching' takes. Please keep it up!
