Ok, here is the stage.
As some of you know, I just took an Assistant HC job and Offensive Coodinator position of a school who has not had much success in the last 10 or so years.
Well, this is my 10 year reunion coming up this season. My old high school is just down the road and we are in their district.
Last season at my old school we beat my high school for the first time in 10 years (my junior year).
Well, being that this team was 0-10 last year, everyone picks us for homecoming..
So not only is my school from last year playing us for homecoming, but I get to coach against my high school on my 10 year homecoming!!!
The best part, we could actually end up winning. They lost a TON of people last year.
Sorry for such a random post.. but as you all know, you never get to experience any of your homecomings because you usually have your own games that night.. well now that my 10th year comes us.. where all of the people I graduated with will be there, I get to coach in that game!!
Freakin awesome!!!

Got to coach against my alma mater twice at their homecoming. Lost one on a failed 2pt conversion with 20 secs left in the game and won one by 30 pts. The win was really nice as they had a playoff team as did we. They also had a D1 running back that we just dominated. Pulled away in the second half for a 55-20 some win on only the second Sat day game in school history.

Air on air!
Sounds like your heart is in it. Get your kids hearts into it too, if not already, and you cannot be beat. Team character comes close to heart, but heart always wins.
Beware of distractions, like exgirlfriends that suddenly dropped 270lbs and look good now and those kids that remind you of you when you were young, over by the hopscotch game... toodles, the class dog that is somehow still alive after forty years, and the flag with the underwear that still hangs down limply, half m*cough*ass, in tradition, and how you still remember how it chaffed your skin when Bruno pulled them out from behind so rudely and put em up there in '52. Or.. well you get my point.
The game.
All you have to do is go out there and do what you came to do. Your heart already has.
Good luck my friend, beat em down.
Then go party!

Heed Phantom's words. The players should be fired up for the game on it's onw merit. Don't let your emotions side track you (or them!) and get in the way of preparing or winning. Have Fun and enjoy the ride.

Have Fun and enjoy the ride. I for sure will heed those words.. Dont want to get outside of what I would normally do just because this game seems so big. |

your real cocky about hanging 70 on anybody witha team that was 0-10 last year Umm, actually me coming on here saying how great it would be if we could score 70 means that its not likely to happen. How great would it be to do it if I thought we could do it all the time?? Not at all, it would be ordinary. If I were to come on here and say we "are" gonna score 70 on them, then that would be cocky and rather annoying. But being that coach and I were visiting fantasy land where an OC gets to call the game winning play in the final seconds, I figured I might as well visit the place where my team was able to hang 70 on them . Sorry that YOU mistook it for being something else. and hey, they were actually 1-9 but had to forfiet due to an ineligble player.. lol |
