Dave Nimmer blogs for The Scroll today

Dave Nimmer watches Coach Glenn Caruso work the crowd in The Grill and admires his intensity and his passion.

Those attributes have rubbed off on Caruso's football players this year in a big way. They have charged to a 2-1 record, including a heartbreaking six-overtime loss that set a Division III record for longest game ever played, and they head to St. Peter on Saturday for a game against Gustavus.

Nimmer has a hunch, he writes today in The Scroll, that the passion the players learn this season will carry over in an even bigger way in their approach to life in the years ahead.
