Thoughts on the scrimmage (all 15 plays)
August 14, 2011 10:58 AM
I drove 3+ hours for that?
Yes. And I'd totally do it again.
I love Rantoul, Illinois. I love the Rantoul High School stadium. My high school played a playoff game there back in the day, and every Rantoul scrimmage makes me reminiscent for the days of Air Jordans, gelled hair, and the chrome rims on my Chrysler Laser. It's also the first time each August that I get to see the team I love in action. So even if it's only 15 plays, I'm still giddy. Right to it.
Terry Hawthorne returned the opening kickoff to the 40. And if he would have zigged when he zagged, he might have taken it to the house. I've been waiting a long time to see Hawthorne healthy and returning kicks. I'm hoping to see much, much more of that over the next two seasons.
