DOONESBURY BY GARRY TRUDEAU The Panthers answered with a nine-yard touchdown pass. Spoo answered with a gutsy fake special teams play – his spe- cialty. Instead of taking a tie with 12:13 left in the third quar- ter, Spoo went for the lead. The move stunned everyone in Roy Kidd Stadium, including Kidd himself who called the play “something to learn from.” Yes, Spoo was teaching the “big-time coach” a little lesson on his big day. As the end of the fourth quarter grew closer, Spoo’s paces along the sideline became faster. The sweat began to show through his shirt and he began to clap as his comments of encouragment turned into yells of enthusiasm. When Kourtney Young made the game’s last tackle and the Colonels fell less than a yard shy of a first down with sec- onds remaining, Spoo threw his arms in the air in celebration. He had hugs for his players, coaches and even the media. MOTHER GOOSE & GRIMM BY MIKE PETERS Yes, Saturday’s win was a big one for a lot of reasons. And for Spoo, I think it was a personal one, even if he won’t admit it. After all, he did call it his best road win ever. After the game, Kidd had his big ceremony and was pre- sented with a diamond cut crystal football, a ring commem- orating his 300th win, a brand new car and numerous plaques. He also received recognition from the state’s gover- nor. He and his wife had a road named after them and the mayor presented them with a key to the city. All were great acts of kindness and appreciation, but there was one thing missing from Roy Kidd Day – a ‘W.’ Spoo had that in the locker room with his players along with the key to a conference championship. 10 Sports Monday, September 24, 2001 The Daily Eastern News Men’s soccer Panthers 8, IUPU-Fort Wayne 2 Wins Eastern returns with a vengeance from Page 12 course record of 24:39.39.
