I’ve mentioned this before; but it’s worth repeating, to give hope to all the other benchwarmers out there. Weighing in at only 175 pounds, as an offensive centre on my university football team, I was doomed to a season of benchwarming, and kickoffs. The starter was a giant, voted all-conference centre last season; but fate had other plans. In the first game on the schedule, he broke his leg; and I snapped the ball on every play after that.
