Don't Panic
Nashvile Storm Update
Coach Donnie Carter's Last Game
Riverdale

Hey Gang! We are still winning, but we have a huge one tonight.

I have some great topics, so let's jump in and get going.

Don't Panic
Don’t panic still a ton of recruiting to be done.  The final time to take the ACT prior to National Signing Day has already happened.  The final time for kids GPA to be pulled prior to National Signing Day is 2Q.  National Signing Day is 2/7/07. 

A lot of kids will not qualify in order to sign on that day.  You as a recruit or a parent must understand the colleges are under a lot of pressure.  College Football is all about the money.  They will not recruit borderline prospects. 

I know there are a bunch of what I call tier 2 recruits who are worried but are qualified.  Hang tight we have a ways to go.  

Nashville Storm Update
The Storm did not win the big one, as they lost to the Dallas Express 24-19. 

I enjoyed calling their games and have heard from several players that will be back for another shot at Disney World.  They have a good chance. I look forward to being a part of the whole scene.  Storm, I will see you in June or late May.

Riverdale
The biggest game of the year is tonight at 7:00 p.m. Central Standard Time.

1450 AM - Smyrna @ Riverdale <- Click to Listen LIVE

We are headed to the reservation.  Yes, our hopes and dreams ended last year at the reservation. Their stadium is a very intimidating place to play.  The weather is not going to be warm like it was last Friday Night. 

Can we win?  Yes, anything can happen.  The Bulldogs can't make many mistakes.  They must execute extremely well.  I predict it to be close. 

I wish the team all the best.  I have watched a lot of them play since they were 7 and 8 years old.  Win, Lose or Draw a huge piece of my football life will die when 2006 comes to an end.  I know something else new will also be born that will run its course in 2007. 

That's A Wrap
Well, that's a wrap.

As always, tonight I will high above the press box taking it all in.

If you see me just give a shout.

God Bless and Take Care
