JD - The number 71 holds a dear place in my heart. Ive been wearing it since I was playing midget football, what we called our club football league in Lincoln, NE, back in middle school. Not only was I wearing it then but my favorite offensive lineman at the University of Nebraska, Jeremiah Sirles, wore 71 too. I was honored when i got the opportunity to follow i his footsteps playing at Nebraska sporting the big seven one. I originally chose 71 as I was not able to pick my favorite number 8, since i was a big boy lineman, but 71 equalled 8 and that was good enough. Soon however, 71 became a badge of pride. Now more important to me than even 8 was. I hope that as I continue on into my next chapter as a DFSL professional, my 71 can follow with me. Always reminding me to find the inner child in me that loves football more than anything.
Ah, a fellow man of culture!
