***********(Some might tell you 25 years down the road that this type of attention did not matter, but I say that 25 years down the road, when you are sitting around talking, they are going to be asking you, “How did you do, and did the fans show you support, and did they back you up???”…I can remember being in the those football pep rallies on a Friday afternoon before the game, and to have the entire school calling out your name when they introduce you to the crowd, that is ONE memory I will never forget….And you can’t go back there, but nobody can take that away either…Some kind of feeling…To hear your name being chanted out loud by hundreds of screaming students, that was a BOMB right there, and I had that stuff going my way…Now I just go out and try and recreate that same kind of madness/magic….YES…)************
+++++++++Those old days are LONG GONE now, but they sure were fun while they lasted, and I didn’t think much of it then, but looking back on it now, it was sort of fun back then, to be the center of the attention….We had a few players that were better than me, but I was the NAME that crowd rallied around and they called that NAME out loud and proud, back in the day….++++++++++
