I tried to find a YouTube clip of either North Dallas Forty or Blue Chips but none met the FlameFans standards.

Tad Boyle was an awesome high school player back in the day. He is somewhat of a legend in CO. I was all excited to see LU playing Northern Colo and then I see that the game is in Vegas.....hmmm......only a 12 hr drive........if only I didn't have to work on Tues.
