Only thing that could have made it better is if Matt Campbell is the voiceover. That would have been awesome

I was thinking along those lines too. Maybe James Earl Jones, a la "people will come Ray, people will most definitely come". There's your chills...

Thanks, @CascadeClone for the great idea!!

Ray, people will come, Ray.

They'll come to Iowa for reasons they can't even fathom. They'll turn up University Boulevard, not knowing for sure why they're doing it. They'll arrive at Jack Trice Stadium as innocent as children, longing for the past.

"Of course, we won't mind if you look around," you'll say. "It's only thirty dollars per person." They'll pass over the money without even thinking about it. For it is money they have and peace they lack.

And they'll walk out to the bleachers, and sit in shirt-sleeves on a perfect afternoon. They'll find they have reserved seats somewhere along one of the sidelines, a hop and a jump from the hillsides where they played as children and cheered their heroes. Blue and Stensrud. Busch and Bryant. Davis and Wallace. And they'll watch the game, and it'll be as if they'd dipped themselves in magic waters. The memories will be so thick, they'll have to brush them away from their faces.

The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been football. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It's been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again. But football... Cyclones football... has marked the time. This field, this game -- it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds us of all that once was good, and it could be again.

Ohhhhhhhh, people will come, Ray. People will most definitely come.
