I jump at the chance to spend a weekend away, visiting a college friend. I'm not expecting to know anyone else visiting her cottage on the Cape, much less come face-to-face with Glenmont's infamous former quarterback. Not-so affectionately known as Sergeant Stevens on my side of the lake, Liam is still every bit the stoic, serious rule-follower I watched bark orders on the field for four years. Sure, he's nice to look at--especially shirtless--but that's where any interest begins and ends. The one thing Liam and I agree on is the rivalry between our hometowns isn't a surpassable boundary.
