I dug deep in the t-shirt vault, and found one I don’t think I’ve worn in at least five years:

This one dates all the way back the the Fall of 2002, when Boomer from the old KWOD morning show decided that we needed to adopt a local high school football team.  And not one of the perennial powerhouses like Nevada Union or Grant.  We wanted a team that was winless on the season, and the team we settled on was the 0-5 Dixon Rams.

Boomer did a little research, discovered that the Rams were being coached by the legendary Tom Crumpacker (CRUMPACKER!), made a few calls, and KWOD started rallying support on the air, and organizing listeners to join us at Dixon’s games.

A few more losses piled up, but in the 8th or 9th game of the year (I forget which), the Rams went out and kicked the asses of some other Nor Cal team, and a celebration the likes ofwhich hasn’t been seen since the days of Caligula ensued.  To be honest, I don’t remember what happened after that.

It was a lot of fun getting into the spirit of high school football after so many years, and we may have to try that again in the fall.  I’ll be needing some more t-shirts by then, I figure.
