A call to the Silverbacks....


Nov 5, 2009, 6:53 AM

A cry into the jungle of time, of age, of the daily worries that have led many of you astray.

The job. The wife. The mortgage. The kids. The fact that the whole world's going to ####.

For just one evening, I'm calling on all the Silverbacks. Guys who find their way to the games out of some long-dormant sense of duty rather than enthusiasm. I'm asking ... no, I'm pleading ... for you to come out of your jungle and into the Valley.

Come not as old, weary bodies walking glumly to the inevitable fate that waits for us all. For this one evening, this one game, I want you to rise again. Pound your chests with the fury and force we once shared.

Shake off everything that shackles you to the daily humdrum that has slowly sucked away your soul. Remember and revive the you that once made the Valley roar and opponents vomit into their helmets with fear.

It IS still in you. I know it. I feel it.

Silverbacks, rise up and take back your rightful spot. Bring these Tigers your will, your fight, your voice.

I'm asking you to turn back time for three hours. Then, if you wish, wander back into the jungle, into your soul-sucking existence.

But for those three hours Saturday night, cast it all aside. Reclaim your youth. It's right where you left it.

In the Valley.

And you younger folks, who look at the Silverbacks as they grump and grouse and pick each other's fleas and say "I'll NEVER be like that" ... that's EXACTLY what those Silverbacks said in the 70s.

Do not let your youth and spirit be sucked away. Let it breathe and breed and spread throughout the Valley. Don't curse the Silverbacks. Lift them with your spirit until they find their own, hidden under their seat cushion.

It's still there. I promise. Just reach out and grab it.

This team, your team, your memories and pride, deserve nothing less.

Come back to the Valley ... and bring #### with you.
