...romantic ballads such as "Show Me The Meaning of Being Lonely," "I Need You Tonight" and "Spanish Eyes" (which was specially dedicated to me). Clad in rose-colored Dick-Tracy-like suits, the group further established their intoxicatingly sweet presence by serenading the audience with classic hits like "Quit Playing Games With My Heart," "As Long As You Love Me" and "I'll Never Break Your Heart."

Their last win was in 1995, and the final score, 2-0, sounded like that of a soccer match. The school had since considered dropping football altogether. Players quit the team in droves. Only a handful of students showed up to watch Saturday home games.
