Forever The Game
The sun has long set, the temperature has dropped 15 degrees in two hours, and it's finally 6:15 p.m.

The players' breaths appear and disappear in the night air. The ground is hard, the grass is stiff, and it crunches when you step up and step down. It kind of reminds you of Lambeau Field on its most frigid game day. A whistle blows, and the coach, who, despite the stinging chill, is dressed in just shorts and a jacket, calls the team to midfield where they crowd around him. The five-minute address is passionate and resonates through the night's thick, cold air. "You will remember this game for the rest of your lives," Jack Siedlecki, the first-year coach, says. "Put that something extra into it. Believe in the player next to you. Believe that you can make the play. Believe that you'll win The Game."
