Tough day for our profession. Educators and Coaches. Be thankful joyous and love our kids a little more. In the face of evil, our only way forward is the good in each of us to push through. We will mourn but we will show our GOOD and LOVE to defy EVIL. Kids deserve it.

As I start for bed tonight:
I Love my Family.
I Love Football.
I Love Lanier.
I Love that tomorrow is GameDay.
And I LOVE THESE BOYS!
Maybe, just maybe we should say the things we Love more than all the things we hate and complain about. Young people need to hear LOVE.

2018 Goal: Run 1000 miles Done.
2019 Goal: 1100 miles got 1150.
2020 Goal: 1200 miles Covid got me to 1401.
If this fat old ball coach can get out and trot around. You can too. Just keep your hands and feet moving. I’m pumped about hitting this.

Thank you for your service and this opportunity to honor our heroes and warriors. We toss those words out in football and in sports. But these brave young men and women are real heroes who gave the ultimate sacrifice so we don’t have to. Proud to be an American.
Thank you to the service men and women who came back on their shields to protect and fight for our Freedoms and the best country in the world! And give us all the honor of being Americans “All gave some, some gave ALL.”
