Mark's Song

Brian's Song made a big impression on me when I was a kid. A large part of the attraction of the story was the central role played by Gale Sayers, the great running back from the University of Kansas. I was indoctrinated in all things Jayhawk since infancy. Sayers' stint in Lawrence represented the most memorable legacy of Kansas football. That changed last night. A civilian-sized quarterback and a sofa-sized coach finally provided new cause for celebration.
