#1 Narrative Crafter

A red river crossing…

God they make me ill. Anyway

For those unaware of Denver Broncos QB1 Bo Nix’s college history he started out as the QB at Auburn, where he went primarily because his father was an Auburn QB and had essentially raised Bo from birth to love Auburn and only Auburn. Basically Bo is a tragic nepo baby

Same number and same position for the same school GOD the narratives drive me insane. Crucial to the lore is the fact that Bo is the eldest son in an archetypical southern evangelical family. Also he’s just as Christian as you’d imagine, to the extent that he got married at age 21 to an Auburn cheerleader. Really something HAS to be going on with him, he can’t be that much of a paragon of all-American Christian virtue

Anyway he goes to Auburn, has a pretty decent freshman year and beats Alabama in the iron bowl, and then everything gets much worse from there and culminates in him leaving the school he had dreamt of playing for since day one and transferring to Oregon, where he and Lanning quickly become rather close

Just imagining Lanning taking in this SEC reject who got kicked to the curb for not living up to the impossibly high expectations he placed upon himself (has to live up to the example set by his dad, after all) and growing to genuinely admire him for how mature and capable he is as a leader and a person is so… oh btw here’s some real things Lanning has said about Bo
