He must have been out on the LOVE BOAT!

That would make sense because the Spirit of Norfolk was nowhere to be seen all weekend either.... LOL

It's always fun to get to meet and hang out with the players and coaches. With that said, this years event was not as good as last years. Last year Greg Williams ran the show and he had his guys on the ball. This year, I never saw a coach that looked like he was in charge. In fact, it looked like the players were in charge of themselves, and that is a bad thing.

A number of players were no-shows for the golf event and they had already cut down to about half as many players as last year. Last year every foursome had a pro or coach as the 5th wheel. This year, one pro or coach was packed in between 2 foursome. Then half of those guys didn't show up either. That really had to suck for some of those guys. To make it worse, the inside skinny was that a bunch of players were out late partying and wouldn't get out of bed. That pissed me off.

I ended up in a pretty good spot, luckly, but I feel bad for the other guys who didn't.

The guys I did talk to were all great, especially Danny Smith and Bill Lazor, who talked fairly candidly about where we are on offense (steady progress guys, but don't expect the miracle you have been hearing about at QB). Bill does expect the offense to look much better but as many of the players came right out and said, a bigger problem was that the defense sucked last year.

Man I'd love to have his job!
