Father and son. Must win now.

Tobe running back the interception in the lone win...with helmet stickers photo-shopped in.

I wish I could make an animated .gif of that run, complete with a flashing TOBE a la Super Mario and the accompanying sped-up soundtrack.

I hope our crack athletic department does what other departments do and try to get him some recognition. He needs to be on the preseason Butkus list. Yes, we all know it's politically impossible for him to win it. But, many schools lobby for their players to be on those lists with postcard campaigns to sports writers, billboards, and other stuff. It would be some positive press that we are in need of these days.

Plus, I think it could shake out as a good for the team as a whole. With the defensive side of the ball now 100% college coaches, I think they'll be the key to the turnaround. We'll be on shaky ground offensively due to the inexperience of the new skill players on offense. An early season, nonconference win should be accompanies by our athletic department bombarding the media with "Leading The Turnaround"-type postcards featuring the defensive players that make it happens - and, that's more likely than not going to be Tobe.

Any type of early season success is going to give us a little "turnaround" type of publicity. Even if it's fleeting, we need to be in the mindset of capitalizing on it.
