As daunting and formidable as they appeared, in the end, the major obstacles students face when reading - represented by teachers clad in football jerseys and holding signs that read "Doesn't Make Sense," "Hard Words" and "Too Long" - stood no match for a group of Georgia Southern Eagles on a mission. After lining up face-to-face on a make-shift gridiron, Eagle football players tackled the obstacles, or teachers, standing before them - showing students that they too could succeed - and scored a win for reading, as youngsters looked on in the Mattie Lively Elementary School Gym Wednesday. The kooky program was part of the school's birthday celebration of beloved children's author Dr. Seuss, or Theodor Seuss Geisel, and provided the culmination of a day's worth of activities to promote reading.
