Pretty cool deal

Just covered a high school football game where the home team's coach, relegated to a wheel chair for over a year because of a freak spinal cord injury, got up and walked across the field to his sideline, just like he promised his seniors he would before the season started. It wasn't easy, he had help on both sides just in case, but it was a pretty cool moment. His team won 34-0.

I'll post a link in the morning. The paper paid one of the photographers there for the shot. I was hoping it might get 1A but the two best football teams in the state (both local) played tonight.

That kind of stuff is what gives me confidence in our society and species; really cool.

Here's the back story....he had injured his back playing football years ago, and went to a chiropractor in Atlanta to get it fixed. The guy screwed up big time, and he needed emergency surgery just to stay alive. He was a quadriplegic at first. He's been rehabbing since. Kind of weird to see a coach on the sidelines in a wheelchair, but he does it.

One never knows, maybe some day I will do that! :thumbsup:

      I know the offer to Lloyd came out, but I never saw that anything was officially offered to May or Donovan. Not saying it didn’t happen, just curious what the source is.

      First Round Poll: Position Drafted

      By strato · Posted

      I haven’t scouted them to say, because I am not GM and have no say. The Miami kid, but he will probably be gone. Freeling. Proctor is interesting. Like I said I haven’t really scouted but I would look closer at him because I have seen some claiming he has the quickness and feet even at his inflated size. So I would look closer at that.  My ideal outcome is one of the top guys who are probably not gonna fall, falls and we use 19 on him. Obviously, I guess. I am  not wanting to trade up or anything - not putting it like code red at all costs, but if we get a chance to get that covered I would for sure want to take it.  Also it looks like we might be able to drop down a few slots and find a future RT at decent value which I would also be fine with.  I think if someone fell that made 19 a hot pick, then I would want to trade out unless it was a top T.  I would probably want to get a run stopper for the DL if the tackle thing didn’t fall right. That is what I voted for here because I feel it is more likely that we don’t have things fall to fit my scenario.
