It certainly was a holiday for my son and me.   We'd pack something like wings or BBQ for the way down and go for the annual scrimmage.   He'd get a massive amount of autographs and I'd just hang out and watch him go from player to player.

I remember one year at Georgetown our 3rd round pick, a TE named Sean Brewer, made a devastating hit on special teams.   I praised him for the hit.  He took a long draw on a cigarette and said, "Thanks man".

He never amounted to anything.   But I got a kick out of the irony of making a great play and sucking on a cigarette. 

It was very personal back then though.  Even talked to Cory Dillon one time.  He was not enormously interested in the conversation, but I enjoyed it none the less.

Memories...
