Where the Heck is Nick?

It took a long time for our Hero to get in the game.  But when he finally got in the game, Homer couldn't have written better epic poetry.

No, Nick.  Abercrombie & Fitch does not need any more male models.
"Hey-aaahhh Coach.  You want me to go in?  No?  You sure?"
"Seriously, guys.  I can go in.  I warmed up and everything."
"YEAAAAH BOYIE!  I'm in.  Gimmie the ball."
When I saw Nick finally get in the game with about two or three minutes left in the half, I knew something special was about to happen:

Yeah!  Handoff to Nick!  He's great at running the ball!  Sweet!
Wait.  What the hell is that?  Nick - they put you in at running back, not quarterback!
Wait - is that "Goes Both Ways" Steimle streaking down the field uncovered?  It is!  It is!
Our staff photographer was too busy jumping around like an excited little girl at Christmas to get a good shot of Goes Both Ways' catch.  But take it from me - a better rainbow you've never seen drop into a tight end's bread basket.  TD all the way.  Congratulations to Nick on his first Varsity TD in non-mop-up duty time. 

After 37 points in the first half, though, our hero entered the game as quarterback for mop-up duty in the second half.

"Jonah - you been workin' out?  Firm, yet supple."
But in true epic poetry fashion, our hero fell from grace:

Even though Nick had less time to throw than it took for me to accept a ticket to Thursday's Packers game, he shoulda known not to throw this.  Oh well, he just doubled Lincoln's turnovers on the year.
Coach J: "Seriously, don't ever do that again."
