@CoachMuckKnox2 My wife saw it yesterday with friends. She said "it's the same as the cartoon...we should have gone to Spiderman." But remember, we're old!

@SpreadOffense Like the action, but the defense was playing with a 6-man box vs 30 personnel on the goal line...almost anything should work.

@bruceeien Same here...and, the one I received playing football was from a pick-up game with friends.

@cameronsoran @smartfootball Clay Matthews II was teaching this to HS kids @oclionsfootball 15 years ago.

@CoachFore Can’t really give 100%...without being dead at the end.

@CoachFore Let's see:
"...a three hour tour..."
"We're going to need a bigger boat!"
Oh, that was a rhetorical question...

@JesseFrisinger Check out Business Wars...USFL vs NFL is a good one to start with.

@Muckrb2 Congratulations! Well deserved.

@plh55 @pollonpreps It's a test run. If it works out, an SEC school will schedule GV for homecoming.

@pollonpreps Good to hear...all it takes is a few we’ll-thrown chairs and War on the Floor takes on a new meaning!

@CameronJudge Thanks for being gracious. Mrs. Bates was worried you wouldn’t get my humor and be upset!

While we are enjoying the day off, or having a BBQ, Memorial Day is a time to remind ourselves that freedom isn’t free and that while we all give some to make us free, some gave all! So while we at times fight… https://t.co/IZ0rOkX9w7

@CoachFore Weird that four of those schools either don’t exist or no longer play football.

[Mark Bates @coachbates]

@CoachFore @CIFSS The explanation I’ve received is that they draw the lines at the point where there are 16 schools that made the playoffs in the previous season.

[Mark Bates @coachbates]

@CoachJakeFord Next cycle, the small schools area needs to separate the process, making leagues for football and leagues for all the other sports.

[Jake Ford @CoachJakeFord]

I agree. There should be a limit on how low a school that size can drop.
