Yeah, I am pretty brutal on myself.

I'm like half, if not 1/3, the age of a lot of people here. I must say that's pretty youthful!

HOLY S%$#!!! That actually made sense and was more than one word! I am impressed.
I was thinking the same thing. At first I thought his mom came and signed on under his name. Now if all of his posts were like this.

The blogs are a great idea.

How else will I learn?

Dakich is back at it with some good stuff (though with NCAA regulated vagueness) about recruiting, and some interesting stuff about future scheduling (including a return trip to the GMAC Bowl Tournament).

Thanks for the heads-up, TG.

I wouldn't look for those if you had not noted it . .

Excellent read. Painful at times, but he's typing like he speaks. That's something I have to over-look when it comes to "bloggin."

There's actually more information than I initially thought any coach would put in there.

I'm liking DD more and more.* So in that respect, the blog idea is working. I'm still wondering if this will turn into ticket sales. Putting a personality on the program and what-not.

*no, it's not like I want to pick out china patterns with the man.

It is good. One thing is clear. It isn't ghost-written.

You said it far better than I could, O&B.

I can't wait for other coaches to get on board, and hopefully this sticks. I think that almost to a person we think that DD is a good guy, but his "approval rating" with some of his antics on the court drops off dramatically. I think Brandon may be the same way sometimes, but to a lesser extent. This blog idea, if utilized properly, can take a step toward welcoming more people to the program with their everyday personalities. I've met DD a couple times, but only very briefly, and I can't help but think he's someone I'd love to golf with, or BS over cheeseburgers and beers at Al-Mar, but he gets a bad rap for his enthusiasm, temper and antics on the court. His first two entries have been very well done (even if they're not written to English 112 specifications

), and I can't wait for other coaches to pick up the baton.

And I think it will be great for the other coaches to get in on it as well. Alot of people may not even know who the women's coach, the baseball/softball coaches or even the hockey coach is, letting them welcome people to the program through a blog is an excellent opportunity, I think.

Coach is right, the golf outing is a riot. It is the most fun outing I play in all year (and I play in a ton of outings for work). If you have the cash and time, it is worth it. You get to talk to current and former players, the coaches, food, prizes, and, oh yeah, a boat load of beer.

How much is it? Is it too late to register? Must you have a foursome?

It's actually $100 a golfer. They have teams of 5, but can put you with groups if you don't. According to the blog, you can still register by calling the number Coach listed in his message.

For a $100, I want a grande jug from Trotters. Though I'm not sure you can cook their steaks on a grill.

with days off thurs/friday, I seriously was thinking about a roadie for this. unfortunately, I don't know that 100 bones is in my current budget.
