Yeah when I played our teams were pretty sorry in high school. We lost more games than we won. Our baseball and basketball teams were solid, but our football coaching staff mainly consisted of ole Burg boys that really didnt get that much out of the players. The weight training program was not good at all. We had subpar facilities and alot of kids came and went as they pleased. Conditioning consisted of playing other sports. Then there were the kids that were just always out of shape and it showed during football season. We ran the most basic offense (full house) and basic defenses. We still held our own, more heart than talent.
WE lost at Burg my senior year something like 38-6. I say "WE" because it was still a team sport back then too. Jonathan Eaton and company were a great team. Far superior than most of the teams these days, thats for sure. I had alot of tackles.....from the defensive backfield. And that is never a good thing.
That is why I am so proud of Coach Daniels and his staff. They have really brought the program to life and are not looking back. The "W"'s on the helmets dont scare them. They get the kids ready, kids that are stronger and faster than my team was back in the day. And they win.
There is certainly nothing wrong with supporting that.
Wannabee? Maybe. But then again, every other person on this site who is out of school.....well......are wannabees. And I have a feeling that includes you too
