Roy Coopers decision not to let parents watch their kids play in 60,000 seat stadiums is maybe the dumbest thing I’ve seen a politician do. Literally could give a mom and a dad an entire section at Dowdy- ficklen, Carter-Finley, Kenan or any of them. Baffling. Playing politics.

The best football player I ever recruited was a 1a HS quarterback on a 1-10 team. He became a d2 all American and a five year NFL vet as a Wide Receiver. It’s convienient to recruit big metro areas, but good players are everywhere if you look hard enough.

You can recruit all the talent you want. You can win the social media game. You can be the cool school. But if you don’t foster, cultivate, and develop toughness at the line of scrimmage and play solid defense you simply can’t be good at football. Many programs just don’t get it

Twitter thought of the day…You don’t pay coaches with adulation or money. You pay them with infrastructure…..facilities, hiring, class load, ect. No other extra curricular at the school touches 120 students and is examined by every one in the community the way football is.
