Fan of things collegiate/televised accounts for the mythos of a snow-field moment in (American) football marking a kerosene light of Earthling kilometer.

"Friends, I had decided that a special iconic media 'event' in the late 20th-Century involving two rival schools/programs of televised (American) college-football --- Notre Dame and Penn-St. --- featuring a face-off between two legendary coaches --- Lou Holtz and Joe Paterno --- was the ideal diorama-imagery for a large pro-capitalism 'superstitions' storyboard that I'd call the Game of Death, for social/media commentary (Facebook-like for knucklebones)."



"Well, this iconic moment for college-sports (American football!) in the American Homeland between the Irish of Notre Dame and the Lions of Penn-St. was called ('unofficially') the great 'Snow-Bowl' of the '92-year, as the snow covered the playing field in this great/education/gritty game of cleats and helmets and teamwork and offense-defense know-good charm! It came down to the last seconds of the game before the winner was (ultimately) decided, and the close-scoreline revealed why the two coaches of the rival schools/programs, representing quite-differing fan/student/culture/region bases of Western world athletics fanfare for spirits, were equals/gods (Facebook-like!)."



STORY_EXCERPT: The Irish and the Lions played in the snow in '92 in such a method and fashion that the gods would take-note and think of the drama crafted by hyperbole and language arts readings of rivalries and school-forces no doubt contoured with some Western world cinema-expression of sports (American football!) linked Heaven/Hell...and though the Irish narrowly won, the Lions of Penn-St. gave a money run to laud their head-master (coach) as worthy of the white-field attention the media 'event' received for the American prince who drafted a rich fiction inspired by the real world game of...knight-phobias.



READER: Art story, reminded me why I subscribed to Sports Illustrated (consumer).
ME: Thanx (Facebook-like).
READER: Why the Irish/Lions dualism for your cyber-pen, Mister American?
ME: Isn't college-athletics (and American football) all about records/music?
READER: Well, Holtz-Paterno tales are good snowballs for fashion and doughnuts.
ME: That's why you remembered Sports Illustrated, reader...kite.
READER: Nice meds for this new Earth of televised terrorism, no?
ME: Ghosts are kids, aren't they (Selfie-like)?



"I got good feedback for my Irish-Lion 'Snow Bow' ('92) storyboard concerning incomplete-distances readings to the leviathan/uncertainty of manmade Earthling-life in the modern media/TV/networks age of things...know-good (sure). Well, I felt pretty cool, as a writer, fan, blogger, and college-grad, and I thought of my (own) Ivy-League days cheering my school's modest/dashing football force and practicing my (own) hand at sports (fencing). All of this/that made me think why and how that Irish-Lions snowball had become a social/media memoir of the superstition behind any/all kerosene lanterns for Wonderland (Selfie-like!)."
