Just a little background on this year's prize. The helmet belonged to my father. I gave it to him as a gift in the Schnellenberger era and he thoroughly enjoyed it. An FAU alumnus, and doctor and later professor by trade, he displayed it proudly in his study at home for many years thereafter until his passing on September 24, 2020 after a long and difficult battle with cancer. It would mean a lot to go to a fellow Owl Fan and find a good "new" home for many more years to come.
So, that's why I decided to offer it to this year's winner.
Enjoy the games, and God Bless.
