"Nobody has gone from constantly having a dip in their mouth to being terrified to dip faster than Gerbach." Imagine the absolute heartbreak of watching your high school middle linebacker friend get a girlfriend and immediately trade his cut-off shirts and Grizzly Wintergreen for an Abercrombie V-neck. We look back at the glory days of Oklahoma Sooners shiny helmets and settle the debate on why the Florida Gators are strictly an AFC college football team. Plus, we draft the all-time greatest smells, from fresh tennis balls and AutoZone to the sheer danger of taking a whiff of arts and crafts rubber cement.
