Thanks -- great article! Love that quote: "as tough as a radial tire, as quick as a juicy rumor, as dependable as a noon whistle."

A "crimson curtain"?
[q]They [Cornell team] know that in the past 133 games, during which Cornell's defense has been a crimson curtain, Downs has played 133 times. They know that this cannot be merely a coincidence. [/q]

My favorite quote comes from Downs himself: "I still picture myself doing a lot of that*," he said the other day. "It's just that it almost never works out that way. I've had my chances, but I guess my hands never did catch up with my feet.
*scoring a lot of goals and celebrating

Anybody else notice that all 7 members of his family have a first name that begins with J? I thought it was pretty funny.
