Here There Be Dragons: The Return of UAB Football - Grantland.com

Quote:Administrative assistant and team den mother Shannon Ritch says she still isn’t used to the absence of sound that follows a slamming door in the building. Each bang used to herald a parade of players, hooting and hollering and tumbling all over one another like packs of puppies walking upright. Now, the absence is palpable.
Into the midst of this quiet afternoon bounds head coach Bill Clark on a literal ray of sunshine, calling goodbyes back over his shoulder to whomever he’s been talking to in the parking lot for the past half-hour. Removed from the doldrums of a lost offseason, Clark’s faintly maniacal grin is once again permanently affixed to his face. “You would never know,” says one of his players,1 “that we don’t have a game this weekend.” It is go-go-go-go-go time, for him and for what’s left of the Blazers,

Well put.
Could probably also include a line about clumsily reinstating the teams. What a disaster this whole thing is.
