theJEDMAN NATION-A New Wave ManifestoDocumenting the JED Experience Tuesday, September 24, 2002I visited an old coaching buddie at his new gig at a prominent south JOCO middle school the other day. He introduced me to his american football team. My buddy told his team that I was a big ex-college player from way back. Of course, being middle schoolers, they wanted to know where I played college ball. Without hesitating, I said Middle Tennessee State. Yeah I was a big time all conference QB. They bought every second of it. It reminded me of my early american football career. I stated playing american football in the 4th grade. My dad was the coach. He was the head coach. Usually the son of the head coach is destined to be the QB. My dad, a former all world small town Missouri fullback in the 50s, had better plans for me. He put me at offensive guard. If he had put me at QB, I'm sure I'd be playing on Sundays today. However, I was dealt a bad hand. My american football career ended in the 9th grade. I never played after that. Just think of the fame, fortune, babes, injuries that I would have encountered. theJEDMAN .: posted by Jed 5:57 PM |
