BULLCITY 2.01(2): BEAT AUGIE:
This is the best photo ever.
There are three reasons this is the best photo ever. First of all, I am in it, and I am beautiful. Secondly, check out Stanley's smile. I know, right? He is straight cheesin' it!
But the real point of the photo is what we're wearing. Most people don't know this, but long before Stanley Hauerwas was a "don" of Duke University Divinity School, his first professorship was at Augustana College, a small Lutheran school in Rock Island, IL. What even those people who do know this about Stanley probably don't know is that Augustana College and Wheaton College are rivals in football. And during rivalry week we would sell "BEAT AUGIE" t-shirts to classmates and fans as a way of getting everyone pumped for the big game.
Incidentally, every year I played for Wheaton (2000-2003) we did "BEAT AUGIE." In fact, three of those four victories were for the conference title, including two times where we took it to them right there in Rock Island.
