The Fighting Ostriches
150 yards for Chip Firstdown, against the club that did not want him. We did. He runs hot, and everybody has decided to live with it, so nobody expects him to say much about it. The fixture comes round again next year.
He has 24,351 yards from scrimmage in fourteen seasons, and 356 touchdowns. His best was 2,710. This is not that, yet. Three clubs have had him.
Miami, Florida is where he is from. He is thirty-five. Nobody planned any of it. He was the highest-rated recruit his state had produced in a decade.
The club is 11-2. Rico Norwood is in year nine of it. There is one year left on the deal.
Firstdown calls his grandmother before every game and after every loss.
