No but I've considered it since any high recruit from Nebraska is likely playing somewhere in the metro. But I never have.
I drive a ways to coach, in a different district so I don’t have to do that stuff. If I did I wouldn’t coach there. When it’s local that’s a different thing, but I’m not driving 2.5 hours, total up and back, to work concessions.
Interesting that the school you teach at allows you to coach at another school. I have several high school teachers/coaches in my extended family and didn’t know they allowed such a thing.
Where did you move? Still in my area? I watch on youtube from the comfort of my home.
If I lived where I went to high school I probably would. I was pretty good and have a lot of great memories playing. Where I live my son didn’t have the greatest experience with it so no. He was in a loaded class and just couldn’t find a way to get on the field with really good players jammed up in his natural position at linebacker. In retrospect it was that, some of his choices like not wrestling which I learned after the fact is a big deal on the defensive side of the ball, and having the misfortune of requiring surgery in Iowa City for a bone tumor the summer of 2020, so we could not risk him getting Covid at team workouts, risking missing his surgery date during the summer. He moved from linebacker to safety to back to linebacker to eventually bulking up to 210 his senior year to give DL a shot. He got passed over for a really good sophomore who got moved up after all of that, for any playing time. All that to say the team played who they thought was best for the program, which I get and appreciate. The result though is I don’t care about the school. So no, I don’t attend.
I moved to Adel this past summer. I am no longer a Waterloo Disciple
Probably when the schools start profiting millions on their athletes. I'm not for NIL but come up with better material next time.
Back when I thought I would become a sportswriter in my early college days, I worked as an uncredited staff writer for the Cedar Rapids Gazette. My Friday nights would be at one third of a cubicle-like cove in the sports department, tracking the scores of small school and irrelevant mid size school showdowns, then taking game reports from coaches over the phone. I love doing the nugget write-ups as “Gazette Staff Writer”. Watching those guys schlep all over at nights all year for not great pay cured me of wanting to do that for a living, but I still have fun memories of it. Especially because I got free tickets the newsroom handed out for Hawkeye games the next day on Saturdays.
That's what I miss about Legend not being here. We both coach high school girls and would pass along scouts to each other!
Legend is no longer coaching but still follows closely. Shall I try to bring him back?
lol
Damn, that is an outstanding idea. I might have to pitch that idea.
Hopefully healthwise he's doing well! Last I communicated with him he was still at CCA.Legend is no longer coaching but still follows closely. Shall I try to bring him back?
ANNNDDDDD DA JOURNALISM COMMUNITY HAS NEV'AH RECOVERED!!!!!
Ditto, except I announced both of my sons' high school soccer matches.
It'd be cool to watch a game at that stadium but that's a heck of a side trip from Waco and that part of Texas isn't exactly scenic. Unless you are already heading in that direction might be setting yourself up for a long side trip with an unhappy wife. Can likely find a good game to go there in the Waco area or just down south to Austin/up north in the dfw metroplex.
