It's all about the bottom line!

What happened to Back Yard Football?

Playoffs

Hey Gang,

Well yes, I know it's the same story, Stork where in the world have you been?

Work has just buried me and that is my real job. I am battling more at the office since the day I started. Just carving out enough time to write a rag has been picking at me, so I decided to crush one out just for all the fans who visit.

Lets Roll !

It's all about the bottom line!
Well, if you haven’t noticed the state of affairs lately in Knoxville, you are sure to notice they have been busy in THE WAR ROOM. The house of cards fell last Saturday night, if remember from my previous rags, I spoke of the ole ball coach (Steve Spurrier) throwing a little salt on the season and he did just that. Yes, he took the gamecocks into Knoxville and just made a fool out of the whole situation.

Does he have Fulmer’s number? Maybe, but I really think he is about attitude and bottom line.

Steve Spurrier is a very motivated coach who has a sway of arrogance that says “I know what I am doing and I win when it counts. I am coach who knows bottom line just what to do”. He works well on the fly and delivers a bottom line result when it counts.

You have players on your team or in your work force that know the bottom line and get the job done when the bell rings. The real question is do they have a touch of arrogance or walk with a “get out of my way” attitude? The answer is yes. All of those people who deliver bottom line results display an attitude that is commanding in all phases. I personally like people who fall in this group, some may call them leaders.

What happened to Back Yard Football?
I was with my daughter the other day on a field trip, and noticed the kids just having a great day playing, cutting up and enjoying a beautiful fall day.

It made me think of the DAY O when kids would play backyard football.

Now if you are 35+ you know exactly the scene. Two complete passes make a first down, it was a blast.

There was always a kid who was a great QB in backyard football but never played high school, guess he couldn’t make the sacrifices to suit up. Penalties were rare and you never ran the ball, it was fun.

Somebody always tried the Statue of Liberty. Ha Ha! LOL!

Playoffs
Well they are bracketed up and we are ready roll. Guess what it’s back to? That’s right, THE PIT in Fayetteville, TN. Yes, we play the Falcons and it’s always a good time at the PIT.

To me I love it for one reason the lighting and atmosphere are perfect. When you video tape anything or shoot pictures you love light and that is something that you can never have too much.

One thing is for sure somebody is going to move on and others will be putting their equipment up for the year.

People are picking us to win, and if we do then that leads us back to another familiar place in Middle TN home of the one an only Riverdale Warriors. Yes, if everything goes as planned we will be eating Indian Corn for our pre-game meal next week.

I normally don’t like to predict the future, but I will be ready either way.

If you read this rag, often you know where we are going!

That's A Wrap
Well that is wrap.

Sorry for the delay, but I am trying and that’s all that counts.

This season has been rough on me, but my attitude and spirits are doing great.

Take your time and enjoy the view if you are in TN or KY. As the leaves are perfect, it is always a short time every year when the colors present themselves. When it starts to rain in a couple of days, somebody is going to need a rake.

Gang, I will see you @ THE PIT.

God Bless and Take Care.
