I don't think I've ever talked about the time I had a concussion, but in light of Baker's possible I thought I'd share my story now.

It was my sophomore year of high school and homecoming. I had asked a girl to the dance and to everyone's surprise she said yes. I started on special teams and was 2nd team MLB and OG for our 8 man powerhouse. In this game is recovered and onside kick and had 8 tackles in mop up duty. Thing is I don't remember any of it. I had a concussion and couldn't tell you my own name. I'd ask what I was supposed to do in the huddle for each player. I would skip back... skip I tell ya back to the huddle. Coach never knew so I stayed in the game.

Walking back to the locker room after the game and my girlfriend... er date I mean, asks when I'm going to pick her up for the dance. I look her right in the eye and say who are you. There was no 2nd date.
