A gold colored T-shirt commemorating The Play, the wildest and most memorable play in the history of American college football. It diagrams not only all five lateral passes made, but the visiting team’s band (illustrated as musical notes) pouring onto the field before the clock ran out, and a trombonist (shown as a horizontal quarter note) who was knocked over in the end zone at the end of the winning touchdown.

Same dude, but these days he dyes his hair and mustache (but not eyebrows), and the Adolph-esque combover looks even worse.

After Mills's announcement, Collins told reporters on Capitol Hill that she imagined it was a "very difficult decision" for the governor to drop out of the race. "She has devoted her life to public service in the state of Maine, in many different capacities, she has served the people of our state," Collins added.
