An unbelievable coach and that much more of a human. Did so much for the game of football throughout Michigan. Heaven is going to learn all about the outside veer!
Sad day for Frankenmuth/Houghton Lake/Millington/Calumet/Hackett football fans. Football coach John Blankenship died at 80 years old.

Just a reminder. Summer rules kick off tomorrow. 15 dates. Only 7 can be 7 on 7. Shoulder pads are only allowed for individuals at college camps on college campuses run by college coaches. No shoulder pads for team camps on college campuses. Four player rule becomes 7…….
"Most people don't want to be pushed that hard.
They want to be pushed to their level of comfort.
You need coaches that push you outside your comfort zone because that’s how you grow and that’s how you develop self confidence and self esteem."
On this Kentucky Derby day, here’s your reminder that Secretariat was faster than any horse who has ever lived. The year is 1973 and this is his track record run. Untouched for 53 years. The GOAT.

50 years ago today, April 20, 1976:
Pitcher Mark Fidrych made his Major League debut with the Detroit Tigers. By year's end, "The Bird" had become a national sensation with his eccentric behavior and refreshing child-like personality. He was voted 1976 A.L. Rookie of the Year.
“Too many kids today are afraid of failure.” - Doug Collins
What happens when kids never learn to fail?
They quit when it gets hard.
Because no one let them practice getting back up.
PLAYERS: Your coach shouldn't have to beg you to be unselfish, provide energy, have a good attitude, or give your best effort. Those are all things you can control. That is what a winning teammate brings to a team. Great teams have great teammates.
Saban didn’t win 7 titles by accident.
He reminded his players every day:
Entitlement? Nothing.
Somebody owes you? Nothing.
Lose your discipline? Nothing.
NOTHING is more important than being your best.
That’s the standard.
Do you lie to yourself?
“When you experience failure you have two options. You can either tell yourself the truth or you can lie to yourself.”

47 years ago today, @MSU_Basketball won its first national championship, beating undefeated Indiana State with Larry Bird, 75-64. Earvin @MagicJohnson was named the Final Four's MVP.
Love this from #Illini head coach Brad Underwood - asked if he has any issue/finds it unfair to have to play Houston IN Houston in the Sweet 16.
"I could care less... I'm an old JUCO ball coach. I drove on 16 passenger fans. I drove from Dodge City, Kansas to Mesa, Arizona for a basketball game... If you had told me back then that I'm getting to coach basketball in the Sweet 16 and play Houston - I would sign up for it, I would crawl to get there."
Says regardless of where the game is, Illinois would/will need to play well to beat the Cougars.
