Am I the only one who has noticed that no one seems to LOSE weight after high school? 

I'm lower than when I played (only because of a recent diet I've been on for the last few months). At one point after college I was over 300lbs despite only being 235 when playing. That was zero fun.

That was the season after i graduated but our class did resume the Dawgs playoff ways after about a 5 year absence.  We were neck and neck with wilmer hutchins until late in the game when a forced turnover by WH on Dawgs first and goal from the one yard line changed the momentum.  They went on to win 25-0 and won state that year. Seems like we ALWAYS lost to the state champs back then.
