ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- The scribblings on the metal door of the Gibbs Hall dorm room started way before Jim Bob Cooter and Casey Woods moved into the place in 2003. It had been a semi-tradition, messages and autographs from University of Tennessee athletes scattered across the door. And they were next.
Their contribution ended up being different: A running tally of scores, giving the friends a decade's worth of trash talk. When the Nintendo red light came on, the Sharpie came out. Lines drawn. Columns made. Head-to-head "Tecmo Super Bowl" results tracked, from Game 1 until they moved out.
