INSTANT REPLAY PART II:

THE FOLLOWING IS A VERBATIM TRANSCRIPT OF THE MAYOR'S  [i.e. Charlie Nickel for those of you without a flowchart] SCOUTING REPORT & SCRIPT FROM 1996

EDITORS NOTE: We'll be going Player by Player to get us in the mood for the 23rd Annual. Today's Featured Player from 1996 is Fat Matt Collins.  Picture above is a shot from Matt's wedding reception at the Mt. Pleasant CC just a few short weeks after the 1996 NMU Packer Weekend. How many Wildcat greats can you identify in this photo? 

PACKER WEEK-END 1996

DECEMBER 20th-23rd

PACKERS vs. VIKINGS 

LT Matt Collins [aka Fat Matt, Offsides, Fat, Boz].

• Scouting Report: Starting his 5th season, Collins is looking to improve on his young career. After staring slow as a rookie and getting lost in Green Bay, Collins looks to rebound with an All-Pro season. A Groom to be in late December, his worth to the team will be determined by his ability to attend in 96.
• Injury Report: Matt will be getting married one week after Packer Week-End 96. He will need plenty of time in the training room this off-season.
• Game Day Status: Doubtful (Marriage) [SEE PHOTO ABOVE]
• Career Highlight: Early in his career Matt got lost in Green Bay during Saturday Night's festivities. We still can't confirm where he spent the night.
• Career Lowlight: Upon getting lost in Geen Bay, Matt was reportedly without a winter coat in sub-zero temps on the "Frozen Tundra."  

Next Man Up:  B-U-B-B-A, BUBBA, BUBBA ALL THE WAY!
