Hey guys... Just booked my flight for the AFCA Convention in Louisville for Jan 10 - Jan 14. Would love to get together one of the nights with guys from the site and put a face to a name if possible. I'll be flying in on Friday January 9th at around Midnight, so anytime Saturday on is good for me.
Really looking to make a push for some jobs and want to make some contacts. If anyone has been to one of these before, I'd love some insight as to how it runs. Just let me know if you guys want to get together. Last time I did this, I got to meet a few of you guys in the Miami area while my wife and I were on our honeymoon, so hoping to have another good trip with some guys from Huey.

I might try to make it up there, if the schedule permits. It would be nice to meet some other people from here, too.

Making my first trip to AFCA convention. I'd love to meet up somewhere for drinks and get an idea of how this thing works.

Everyone who is interested in meeting up, PM me your email & phone number and I'll put together a group message so we can setup a meet while we're there.

Those of you who go the whole week, do you get any grief from administration about taking time off right after Christmas Break? I know it's not really "time off" as it's a professional conference--at least in theory!--but I've always had a hard time justifying asking for it off given the timing on a high school calendar.

I am using my "personal days" and since it doesn't fall exactly on the day we come back from a break, they can't say much. It really depends on your administrator. Mine is a former head football coach, so in terms of missing for clinics and stuff, he is pretty understanding.

Has anyone else found a way to make the trip next weekend to KY for the AFCA Convention and want to get together? I have a contact list of the guys who have said they are going and will setup a meet for some drinks while we are back there. Just let me know.

I have recently attended a webinar with Coach Legault and he was very realistic in his approach, keeping in mind the typical European issues. He made me reconsider some stuff we're trying to accomplish.

Sending out an email to everyone who has given me info... looking at going either Sunday night at a location TBD or Monday night...
I'm thinking Sunday night because that will interfere with the least amount of other things going on with the convention I believe. I know that footballscoop is having social in the early evening on Monday and we could go after that if we want to. I'm down for whatever, but let's set it and I'll find a place once i get down there. Anyone have a suggestion? I am known to drink the whiskey and the scotch on a semi-regular basis, so anywhere for a cheap glass of those is good with me.

I will agree about Coach Bedwell- if you have ever been to Wahpeton, ND you know this guy is a great recruiter.

Not sure if I will be there or not (just down the road in KY about 50 miles from downtown Louisville)...like DC, I'll be missing 2-3 more days for some Glazier Clinics this offseason (and, had to take two this week to stay home with our little girls), but if you go out, head to the BBC (Bluegrass Brewing Company). It's downtown, right across the from Yum Center (Louisville's basketball arena). Heck of a brewery. They have some Bourbon Barrel variations that are out of this flipping world...across from it and on the same side as the Yum is a Bearno's Pizza-Pub All kinds of choices, obviously, but for in the area of the convention, those are close and good. If it's Saturday night when you all go out, head down 4th Street...all kinds of Pubs/Bars/Clubs (4th Street Live as it's called). Again, all of these are downtown and really close to the convention.
