Shakopee Football

"Twenty-seven years ago I sat in this locker room just like you guys on a knee getting ready to play a game.  I walked down the locker room and it still smells the same.  It takes you back real quick.  One of the things that caught me was how fast 27 years goes by.  There's so many people that live vicariously through you.  I would give anything tonight to jump in one of these uniforms with you guys.  That feeling goes away, it goes away and it doesn't come every Friday night.  It comes when you get married, it comes when your child is born.  So you get it, but you just don't get it every Friday night.  You're going to miss that more than anything in the world.  That's what I miss.  And so you seniors that are focused on college, you're focused on your work after high school, what you're gonna do next, you're focused on tomorrow, aren't you?  You got plenty of time for tomorrow.  But these tonights, they're going by fast.  You focus on tonight.  This is about you guys.  This is about the guys in this room that care about each other that know there's only so many more of these nights left."  -Sean Payton
