Happy Birthday, Lyle!

The father of Bronco Nation and patron saint of "the blue", Lyle H. Smith celebrated his 92nd birthday on Monday and the best way I could think to honor him is by displaying this amazing picture of the coach rallying the Broncos during the '48/'49 football season. Click the above pic to see it in a higher resolution state. Be warned, however, this photo is so amazingly awesome that it may cause your face to melt like a Nazi viewing the Ark of the Covenant.

Happy Birthday, Lyle! May you have many more glorious years of watching the beautiful thing you have created: Bronco football
