(Chizik is second from right, in the vest.) Obviously, the future hero of the Plains enjoyed the fruits of Gatorhood, on the field (the '83 Gators finished No. 6 in the final polls, a year before finishing third with the school's first SEC championship in Chizik's senior season, though that title was later negated by NCAA sanctions) and off. And no, in case you're wondering, the girl on his lap here bears no apparent resemblance to the future Mrs. Chizik, Jonna, the daughter of Chizik's high school coach. It's OK: After all, square-jawed frat boys will be square-jawed frat boys, until they're square-jawed coaches more interested in an entirely different kind of 18-year-old talent.
On that note, you should probably ignore the distinctive "Brokeback" vibe given off here by Chizik's anonymous, hayseed-chompin' comrade – not that there's anything wrong with that – whose gentle shoulder touch is just awkward enough to remain well within the bounds of traditional male affections. Instead, speculation is warranted over the mysterious brown spot hovering over Chizik's mouth: A simple blemish on the photo? A folksy pipe of some kind, in keeping with the "woodsy" theme? The world may never know. And if the answer is something other than one of those two things, the world probably doesn't want to know.
