The hope of being healed over night when injured is the same hope as asking for a pony on Christmas when you live in New York City, it is just not going to happen. This was Boobie Mile’s wish. All he wanted was to be out there playing his game again. Bissinger uses these words such as “pure” to reassure us of Boobie’s good intentions to playing again. It isn’t just being back out there on the pitch so the recruits can see him playing but also because all Boobie has is football. All Boobie has to his future is football. With his injury that future has been put on hold and the unknown of when he will come back can directly impact his recruitment for college ball.
