“It’ll be called college football. The games will be primarily on Saturdays, so the sport can be properly observed when most people are off work that day and the next.”
“Even the semifinals and championship, sir?”
“Of course not! The semifinals will be Thursday and Friday, while the championship will be on a Monday.”
A dejected and tearful DeVonta Smith sits on the floor of the Superdome following a 40-36 loss to Lutcher in the LHSAA Class 3A State Championship (12/10/2016) in his senior year of high school. DeVonta would go on to win two National Championships at Alabama, the Heisman Trophy and the Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles (including a touchdown reception) in that very same Superdome. Never give up. Realize your dreams. Congratulations, DeVonta!
