First of all, to all veterans, Thank You and I hope you had a great day today... ^good FlAg1
So with the release of the new rule book, and a lazy weekend for our family, I started cleaning cobwebs out of my head and started looking for videos to at least watch to remember what a football looked like. I watched the SMU - Army game from last year... I don't know why, and couldn't explain it to my wife either...
I remembered that we were supposed to be using Hudl, and I went to TASO.org to find a link, not present. I know at some point we got information on how to login, I eventually found that posted on a chapter's web site. Anyone know how much we shell out to use Hudl? Well I mean, how much we shell out to have one set of videos up there from almost 2 years ago?
Then I browsed over to the TASO blog site, where I found a link to video clips that are housed for free on youtube...
I have watched some of the Aloha Clinic vids, watched some MidMo Refs channel on youtube, pulled out the 2010 CFO video, pretty good way to spend Memorial Day, my wife doesn't know what to think, but I don't mess with her "daytime drama" crap... so she can grin and bear it... :D

Videos opn HUDL are not two years old. There are in fact a bunch that were uploaded last year. Ask TASO why this is not yet available to the membership.

I posted this on another forum but it bears repeating, even a day late...
I hope you all have had a great day. If you haven't already, please save one backward glance for those that paid the ultimate price so that we may enjoy the freedoms we do and continue to honor them for the tomorrows they gave up for our todays.
Weighing heavy on my mind are the men and women who've sacrificed so much by answering a call that I did not. With a grateful heart, I thank God for them.
If you are able,
save them a place
inside of you
and save one backward glance
when you are leaving
for the places they can
no longer go.
Be not ashamed to say
you loved them,
though you may
or may not have always.
Take what they have left
and what they have taught you
with their dying
and keep it with your own.
And in that time
when men decide and feel safe
to call the war insane,
take one moment to embrace
those gentle heroes
you left behind.
