Word about what we were doing had started to spread in the football circles. They saw we were near the top of the national rankings in most offensive categories. Coaches from all over the country said they wanted to come in and watch film and talk football with us, or have us visit them to share ideas. We met with coaches from Auburn, Florida State, and Georgia, among others. We were pretty open about explaining what we were doing. After all, it’s all on film, and for the most part college coaches are typically open about sharing this stuff. I suspect it’s partially because they aspire to coach at other places and bigger schools, and they’re eager to let others know how good they are. We were happy enough to talk because we loved what we did, plus, we figured we could learn from them, too.

The event, it is thought, may have carried humans right to the brink

A Short History of Nearly Everything

The memory brought a stab of pain almost physical—I’d avoided writing about how in love we were, brimming with hope. It had been far easier to make glib, jokey remarks about how shitty a wife I’d been. Dumb hope is what it hurts most to write, occupying the foolish schemes we pursued for decades, the blind alleys, the cliffs we stepped off. If you find yourself blocked for a period, maybe goad yourself in the direction of how you hoped at the time.
