Some semblence of normalcy - BostonCard - 11-27-2020

In this most crazy of years, thank goodness that getting the axe back instills some sence of normalcy.  After all, Stanford has had it 10 out of the last 11 years, so having the axe at Stanford is the normal order of things.

I think this will go down as one of the great Big Game stories of all time, when we look back at it.

I think Big Game will be the last game we play this season.  It is also the only game we played that we practiced for more-or-less normally. 

Never has it more truly been said that Big Game made the season.

Thread drift, because it’s the CardBoard. :)

To clarify...  I know the shout is "Hear.  hear". 
But the axe is Here, here!  That's worth shouting about.

Maybe JJJ was using the homonym and making a pun...  Maybe I shouldn't have made it obvious.

I pictured you with a smile on your face as you typed it and it was just a thread drift pun. But I should've used this link instead because I could always use some wine, as well as the Stanford Axe, here, here. :)
Quote:When you raise your glass after an impressive speech, do you say “Here, here!” or “Hear, hear!”?

The correct phrase is: Hear, hear! That is, unless someone is asking, “Who wants more wine?” Then you can say, “Here, here!” and pound your fists on the table.
