[Leica] Don's PAW Football season

[nathan.wajsman at planet.nl (Nathan Wajsman)]

Hi Don,

Great picture essay, took me back to my days at the University of 
Florida--the atmosphere pre-game is not dissimilar, although with a lot 
less class and on a much larger scale.

This is an example of a really good essay: the pictures, taken together, 
form a coherent whole with the text. There are some images that are good 
enough to stand along (for example, "Busted") but it is the combination 
that really works for me.
