I was at the 'Bama Clinic a few weeks ago. After Nick Saban finished talking he had a line of 50+ people up one of the bleacher rows standing there trying to take selfies and get autographs. I thought that was a little strange...until I saw Tom Moore sitting right next to the front of the line, with absolutely NOBODY wanting his picture, autograph, or even talking to him. I don't think anybody in the line even recognized him! I went over and got his autograph just because the whole picture was really weirding me out, and I needed to restore balance to the universe. Call that weird if you want, but if 50+ people want Nick Saban's autograph, at least one person should be asking for Tom Moore's...right? you wonder what universe these people live on. Tom Moore has to be closing in on 80? and he is at a clinic, in the front row? that would be a clinic all by itself. It is a shame nobody recognized the opportunity. Look at the bright side: Maybe you get to play those dweebs.

Although...I did run into Dave Chapelle in Yellow Springs once and almost had a fan moment. But I ended up just saying "what's up" as we passed by each other just like I would anyone else. There are only two reasons to go to Yellow Springs.....Youngs Dairy or to buy weed!! Please tell me you were there to get some ice cream!!

I would just take mental note of all those taking autographs and hope to play them.

Meshparker, I was thinking the same thing. He spoke a few hours later and the first words out of his mouth were "Ok, I see there's a female here in the audience so I'll make sure I don't swear." Definitely from a different generation, but lots of good stuff and I'm glad I got to hear him talk.
...and Fantom, you have a point. I always feel sorry for kids with coaches like that. Makes the "w" much easier to get though.

Had some very good times in Yellow Springs and at Peaches. I honestly really enjoyed the Dayton and Yellow Springs area. I'll be kicking myself for years for not making the move to the area but my certification doesn't make moving easy. That and coming from out of state.
One thing that drives me crazy at the clinics is the guy that tries to be the smartest guy in the room. The guy that tries to show he knows everything the guy is presenting on or that he is smarter than the presenter.

I don't know man I've never done anything like that i just look forward to finding lectures on what applies to what we do and soak it all up. But i will say if i ever got to see Tubby Raymond,Hugh Wyatt,and maybe even Don Markham in gonna want a picture with those type guy's Real Talk . On the other note the big clinics have'nt been good for about 5 yrs now up this way Nike- Glazier. These day's i lean to the small personal 1's that specific High School coaches put on about specific system's more bang for your buck in my opinion.

Haha! Young's is very good and I don't do drugs, I don't even take asprin. #fact There are some pretty cool little bars and restaurants down there too. A friend of mine use to waitress at Peaches. That's where I ran into him. FYI - there are other reasons to go to Yellow Spings...I'm single...a laid back and very liberal community never hurts the ol' batting average It's a very fruitful fishing spot. I have volunteered at the street fairs there just for the people watching...oh and I get to use a walkie talkie and a free t shirt.

I was at a clinic recently and one of the speakers came up to speak in a t-shirt and shorts. I was like WOW thats what your representing your school in. Then he goes on to say that his dad was running the spread while Urban Meyer was still trying to figure it out. WOW again. The funny thing is I was at Bowling Green visiting back in the spring of 2001 when the speakers dad was and he was learning the spread from Urban Meyer. I love the guys who claim the invented plays and were running it before anyone else even thought of it like they invented the dam game of football.

In this day of of social media and every kid thinking their D-1, it may give a coach a little extra credibility in the eyes of their players if a guy has a picture with a well-know. College coach. I'm not saying you need to turn into a teenage girl at a Justin beiber concert, but hey if you Nick Sabannis right in front of you and you have a chance to snap a shot with him, then go ahead and do it. I was once at a bar and saw gorgeous blonde walk in. I was of course checking her out when the guys next to me say hey, there's Lane kiffin. Turns out he was having a drink with his wife and a few of his coaches. I started a conversation with him and his staff members and was able to get a picture with them. The picture ended up on our program's Twitter site and the kids all of a sudden thought I was in tight with the entire USC coaching staff! Personally, I'd rather have the picture with Mrs Kiffin however!!!

Personally, I'd rather have the picture with Mrs Kiffin however!!! You may be able to get more than a picture with her. Judging by his actions at Tennessee and USC and the horrible offense he called all last season, she can do better so apparently she is prone to making some bad decisions herself...and all you have to do to be that bad decision is be at the right place at the right time. #justsayin Laaaaaaaaaaayla! You got me on me knees, Layla.

I just go to clinics to drink beer with @dcohio and get 86'd at the bar at 1:30 AM... Other than that, it's just picking up 1 or 2 things from each speaker I can implement in my program. Not there to be a fan. There to talk football.

I dated a girl that went to HS with him and the playmate so that's how I know. Still just in random conversation it would come up about different people that were famous. The cool thing was it was never bragging or anything. It was just like "yeah we went to school together" Small world. I don't know I guess that's kind of weird to some people but that's true. It's just like if you coached a player like Tom Brady. If I'm remembering this correctly, PIGSKIN11 kept Tom Brady on the bench when Brady was a sophomore and he was a senior.

So I started at safety all year and he goes on to be Tom Brady... So I am now a HS teacher and coach - he is a super bowl winning/MVP married to a super model... Sounds like it worked out for both of us...

I'd be more than happy to get it cut any way that Giselle wants it. and I would wear the chit out of some uggs for "little Giselle" hugs. I live in the Tidewater area of Virginia. It gets hot here in summer. Real hot. I wouldn't mind having my feet sweat a little in my Uggs in July for the compensation.
