Our mascot is a clown

Perfection

Is it hard to believe, that when I see you, I see perfection?

A perfect sight would be to see #17 finally hoist up that Lombardi...

No chicken-egg lore this— not a bit—
Quitters win, nor ever winners quit,
If it fails to convince,
You got to go to Vince,
Win or not in life,...

Today I’m thankful for Vince Lombardi
whose wisdom about the game of life I shall now attempt to rhyme…
He famously said:
