Message: [QUOTE="bigmike, post: 2714841, member: 3928"] That reminded me of my letter to Dino from last year. I think I drafted it after the Clemson win. If you have nothing better to do, take a read. Dear Dino: This second cake you are baking is only half cooked, and still a little gooey on the inside. We love the way this one is coming out, but we know you can make a better one. Please keep baking here, and please stay until you have collected all the ingredients you need to make the cake you envisioned when you first decided to come here. As we look into the oven, we like what we see, and we know it will taste great - we know because we reached into the mixing bowl on October 13th and snuck a quick scoop. We haven't enjoyed something that good since coach Mac was baking here all those years ago. We also know, however, that the 4th or 5th cake you will bake here will be your masterpiece, carefully crafted in our loud house using the experience you gained in other kitchens. It will include only the finest ingredients from NY, NJ, the Upper Midwest, Pennsylvania, Florida and New England. It will included bits of sweetness from other places too like Arizona, Oregon, California, the Southeast and DC/Maryland. After a 3-4 year shopping spree you will have everything you need to bake that cake you, and we, always dreamed of. On the day when that cake comes out of the oven - after you have let it cool and put icing on it, we will know that our faith and patience has finally paid off. Years of longing and waiting, years of frustration and disappointment, will fade into oblivion as we slide the knife in and grab ourselves a slice. On that day we will return to our youth, to the carefree days when we could eat cake without putting on weight, or being told it is bad for us. On that day we will run and jump and scream, and we won't care because your magic cake will have transported us back in time to a wonderful place - it will be wonderful because it will be 1959 again. Dino, please don't go. [/QUOTE]
