One per-centers'
Hand in Hand
Opening College Football
Ah the end of summer !!!!
Well another Friday night is here and I hope everyone has a great weekend.
Let's jump right in and get going.
One per-center's
I don't think there is such a word as per-center. But there is such a thing as the brash ego. This is mainly for coaches. Let's see if I can make it clearer.
Charlie Weis
* A-type personality
* Pride is off the charts
* Ego is off the charts
* Attitude is 'I am the best at what I do'
* There is only one way and that is my way * My wife makes all the other decisions outside of football. (House etc...)
When you watch these one per-center's coach, they are a different breed. Coach Fulmer is a one per-center, but has more of a personal touch to his style (he wants to win but isn't hateful).
The one per-center style coach at the top has zero personality. He keeps players, reporters, administration, etc... always on the edge. The whole time he is leading the charge for XYZ School. Eveyone is always on egg schells when they are around this type of coach. Everything is usually good when you are winning and if you are losing he is not fun to be around. He may know X's and O's but he is a disease in my opinion when it comes to his ability to have compassion and admint when he is wrong.
Write it down, Notre Dame will have a terrible season and Coach Weis will point the finger at everybody except himself. It is really a swing at the narcissistic society we live in. Basically it's all about them.
In my job I was once told to take care of the customer and the comission will always be there. Ok, enough of that.
Hand in Hand
High School Football works hand in hand with College Football. College Football works hand in hand with the NFL. These three groups all support each other and it is one of the reasons why it is successful.
Why do we love College Football? I think one reason is we get to watch players that we know were recruited in high school. You get to see most of these kids play 3 years of college football and by the time they get to the NFL you know who they are. You become emotionally attached.
NBA has ruined college basketball. They don't work hand in hand. Kobe, Lebron, etc... did not play college ball. I wish they had, then we would have gotten to know them.
When you don't get the chance to watch a player mature as a person and athlete, it ruins the personal touch. They may make a lot of money, but you know nothing about them. Usually, these athletes end up making a lot of mistakes outside of their sport. This is because they never had the chance to mature as a person. Sticking millions of dollars in a 20 year-old hands is a dangerous cocktail. Just my opinion.
Opening College Football
Well, it started last night, college football kicked off for another season. I can't wait, to see a lot of the athletes that we helped along the way that will be on TV tomorrow.
David Wolke is the starting QB for Western Kentucky University as they play Florida in Gainesville and is set to kick off around 11 a.m. CST.
University of Tennessee versus CAL will kick off around 7 p.m. CST. Marsalous Johnson will be playing right side cornerback for the VOLS.
So, you can say it is a big weekend for our past STARS from Football Stars For Tommorrow. We wish them all great success.
That's A Wrap
Well that's a wrap. Tonight we travel to Brentwood High School for game two of the season. Kickoff time is slated for 7:30 p.m. CST. You can catch tonights game on the internet by clicking LISTEN LIVE! I like filming at Brentwood because I get to film this one from the visitor side.
Hope you have a great Labor Day weekend.
If you see me at the game give a yell or wave.
God Bless and Take Care

Things you can't argue
Movie: Facing The Giants
Is there a bias in High School Football?
Well, everybody that loves this game, it is finally here! We punch our ticket on the season ride Saturday Night. This will be a great year.
Let's not waste any more time and jump right in.
Things you can't argue
#1. Out of all the sports in high school, football is king. It makes the most money. It cost the most to play. It is the most difficult to learn. It takes more coaches to supervise and direct. It is Number 1. If football was played from January to April it would be a hard sell. Second is basketball, no question.
#2. In TN region 4-5A there are some extremely talented kids at the younger level that will see playing time this year. Speed, Speed and more Speed is lurking in the Freshman/Sophomore class. Yes, these kids run the risk of getting banged up at a young age, but I am sure they are eager to show their stuff.
#3. In TN region 4-5A all the games this season will be tough. I am not saying they will be close to the end or that they will be blowouts. They will be tough. Rutherford County is the fastest growing area in the South. Tons of families have migrated to the area to set up shop. You may beat a team by a good margin, but you will feel the knocks and bruises. The days have past where teams just tease their opponents for 4 quarters.
Movie: Facing The Giants
What a fantastic movie about football and your faith in God. This of course is a touchy subject, but what isn't anymore?
If you watch the movie, it truly paints a clear picture about God and the faith that you should demonstrate in him. Now most of you that know me will say "Stork"? My relationship with the 'man upstairs' is between him and me. After all, when the final day comes, I won't be there with a clipboard examining your life and guess what? More than likely you won't be there for my day either. Enough said, just watch it and see if you get something out of it.
I will tell you this. It has more meaning than a Donkey kicking field goals. For those of you who are a little slow on that last reference, just look up the movie GUS. I think Disney cut this picture on a budget that dates back to the depression.
That's A Wrap
We play the Siegel Stars on Saturday Night. This game will be on TV and the stands will be packed. It will also be broadcasted on the Internet with pregame at 7:00 pm (CST) and Kickoff at 7:30 pm (CST) on WGNS 1450
The Stars have two kids you need to watch for: Gooch and House. Both of these kids played their younger days at the University of Northern Antioch.
Saturday will also be a special night for me from a personal perspective. My future wife will be joining me high about the press box for the filming. She is looking forward to watch the action down on the field. Her son played back in the Day-O for our high school alma mater. He is currently in his final year at a great football school, the University of Louisville.
Folks, this is what makes life so special, when you find a person that you can share your interests with.
Until next week. As always, when you see at the game give a yell or wave.

Text Messaging
2-A-Days or 3
Womens Football
Well I guess most of you who stop by wondered when I was going to give you an update. Well here it is. I hope you like the new look.
We took the off-time of High School Football to update the site, there is more to come. Let's not waste anytime and jump right in.
Text Messaging
The NCAA has put a new rule in place that limits the communication between recruits and coaches. I can't believe that the NCAA believes they can monitor this type of activity.
1. Text Messaging from the carrier side (Verizion, AT&T, T-Mobile, etc...) doesn't monitor the content of the messages, nor do they track how many, who, etc... They don't care. Then only monitor the success of sending and receiving. Your bill is not itemized every month with all the messages you send and receive. So how are they going to monitor this?
2. The carriers (same group as above) don't care what the NCAA thinks, they don't have time to help them. Over 10 billion messages are sent every month to handsets.
I rest my case. No recruit is going to turn a coach in for text messaging, unless he is harassing the kid.
2-A-Days or 3
Well this past Monday (July 30th) kicked off 2-A-Days. I love this time of the year. It's time for the players to show off what they did in the off season. You can tell right off who worked out in the off season and who played.
Football players what are dedicated to their team, school, and themselves push their bodies from the end of last season to the start of 2-A-Days. Our first game is August 25th. Games will be broadcast on CSS, it will be a packed house.
Womens Football
The NWFA - National Womens Football Association recently invited me to film and announce the 2007 World Championship Game between the Pittsburgh Passion and the Columbus Comets. Now you are probably thinking "Women Playing Football"? I put together a small clip for you to be the judge Passion vs Coments.
I think you will be surprised as what you will find :-)
That's A Wrap
I have been extremely busy and will try to keep you updated between now and the 25th. Some great things have happened to me on a personal level and life is good. I hope everyone is doing great.
Thanks for stopping by.
