Title: Goodbye football, it was a good run
Post by: ka_mole on November 05, 2010, 11:41:16 AM
Well, barring a playoff assignment, this will be my last weekend of football after 15 years.  Just wanted to give a shout out to the board, and all those that post for their insight, and comedy (ornery1).  I also want to thank the white hats I've worked for in the past as well as the guys that have worked under me for the last 5 years.  Since starting at 18 it doesn't seem like I'm old enough to "retire", but with the toils of life being a husband, now a father, and the time/travel it takes to call since I've made DI in another sport I've decided to put my first love to rest in order to spend time with the ones I love the most.  You guys keep up the good work, and those of you in Texas with me, don't ever give up the fight against the UIL.

Last but not least, thanks to the coaches.  It doesn't matter what level, or how many numbers come before the first or second comma in your salary; without all of you I wouldn't have near as many stories to tell.

It's been a good run boys, good luck in the playoffs!

Hope your days are full of pleasure. I know that I cherish each moment that I have spent in the last 25 years working football. The people, the places,the stories, the memories.


Best of luck
