1. A mountainous and long maned senior lineman.
2. Populated by various straps and buckles, wadded-up scraps of athletic tape, wet towels, discarded eye black, random shoes, iPods, inside-out socks, gray garbage cans with Copenhagen spit on the plastic liners and the invisible hopes and prayers of 98 teammates/
3. Other players removed their helmets, wiped sweat from their faces, swigged blue Powerade from paper cups.
4.The coach was calm, wholly paternal, with measured words of reassuring faith.
5.No one conversed. They unraveled tape, swore, stared at nothing, held their heads in their still gloved hands and fired the tape in balls across maroon-tinged carpet of the dressing room. Shoes struck locker stalls like bullets.
