My god, did I love me some Jay Barker.

He went 35-2-1 as a starter. Let your jaw drop to the floor appreciatively, and then reread: Jay Barker went 35-2-1 as a starter in college. He was Captain Badass of the S.S. Asskicking Feastboat, and you were cordially invited to a keelhauling should you be so unlucky as to play them. He won, you lost, and that was too bad.
