I didn't see this already, sorry if it's up somewhere:
Braxton Miller
Wide Receiver / The Ohio State University
Da da da. Da da da.
Six syllables. I got to the sideline and that’s all I could hear. All of my teammates were looking at me, smiling, shouting — singing. Even the coaches were doing it. Heck, even the waterboys were doing it. It was surreal. Like, a hundred-plus people, standing on the sideline: Looking, smiling, shouting, singing. At me. And they were all singing the exact same thing — the same six syllables.
Da da da. Da da da.
Yup, that’s the
SportsCenter theme music. That was our inside joke as a team. When someone makes a play? Yeah, you know — you pat’em on the back, you chest-bump’em, you say, “Nice play,” you tap helmets, that sort of thing. But when someone …
makes a play?
Da da da. Da da da.
When the team does that for you, that means you did a little something extra. That means you left your mark. That means they know, at that very second, that they’ll be watching what you just did, again — over and over and over again. On
SportsCenter.
Da da da. Da da da.
That means you didn’t just make a play. It means you made a moment.
Some moments, of course, take longer to make than others. That play against Virginia Tech happened in five seconds — but it took me five years to get there.
Actually, it took me 23 years.
