I know the feeling, Braxston, nearly 40 years down the road. I remember the day I left vividly. A woman from Lexington I'd met at the Kentucky Derby that year drove up to SB, helped me pack up and then head to Florida and my parents' house after a stop at her place.

She'd hoped that I would opt to stay in Lexington and complained that I was quiet, moody and broody on the drive. She didn't "get it." I even talked to some folks at UK about graduate programs. They had nothing that interested me.

She never did ship the trunk of my stuff we'd left at her house. It was clear by the time we hit Orlando that whatever relationship we'd had was a no-go.

The tennis racket, handball gloves and baseball glove I could replace, but I still miss the many books and ND gear in the trunk since they were a connection between me and ND.

All the best, Mr. Cave.

some referred to him as "the original playa" all those years ago...or so legend has it in these parts.

but being dshans, he quickly corrected them at the time and said "no, sir i am the original player"

and so the phrase and term "playa" therefore remained hidden from the social context until many decades later when unearthed by the sugar hill gang

Moves like Jagger? No, that'd be NankerPhelge.

Maybe moves like Willie Nelson?

I'm as skinny as Mick (if not more so, but shorter) and can't dance for sh¡t. Jagger's prancing, "dancing" and twitching makes me look like Nureyev, though.

Willie's closer. Has anyone ever seen him even attempt to dance? Le dans ain't my cup o' tea.

I knew. That's all that counts.

The crux of the matter, the essence, the reality of his years at ND is that he gave as good as he got – in a very, very positive way.

We (and he) have memories of his time at ND; he now has the football and educational experience to draw upon for the rest of his life. He has a network par excellence.

Just checked, he's on the roster but not the depth chart.
Jonas Gray is on there though.
