Everyone's background? Scout? Former player? College coach? Pro anything?

[den-the-coach]

I scored under the bleachers with a girl name Marilyn.
Does that count?

The fact that her name was Marilyn makes you the thread winner.

 

[Ramhusker]

I got a resume that’ll make den-the-coach look like a water boy!

I was the opening bowler on our HS cricket team.

[So Ram]

I was blessed at birth to know it all.

Total no BLUE FONT either - lol

 

[TexasRam]

I can bench more then Tutu Atwell

I run a faster 40 then Havenstein

Basically a freak of nature.

I regret playing past HS.

My experience of DIV 3 football is pretty well captured by this classic movie:

And now I coach in Europe. If you ever want to feel stress, try coaching.

You played for Air Force and the Flyers?
As usual, @den-the-coach playing chess while everyone playing checkers. He was nailing that NIL money before anyone thought of it!!
Haha

Yesterday, when I was young
The taste of life was sweet like rain upon my tongue
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game
The way an evening breeze would tease a candle flame

Great Take, Division III was definitely different especially when I played back in the late 80's and early 90's, but the college you were playing for made all the difference in the world. I played for Mike Kelly at Dayton and his program was one of the best in Division III.

I cannot imagine what coaching is like in Europe I had to step away because of the stress and I was never the Head Coach either.

 

[Lunchbox]

Sandlot only. Never played any kind of organized football.
I was the skinny, fast MF who always intercepted passes as a DB or pressured the QB as a DL. Usually played RB or WR on offense.
Clueless but relentless was my best/worst trait.
Usually supplied the pot after.

I thought for sure there was going to be a Polk High reference

There were at least 2 I think.

Well playing in the streets, I once scored 4 touchdowns against my nemesis Bubba “Spare Tire” Smith.

I used to play semi-pro ball in Canada (mainly CB and punt return)! Also coached for a while.

Cool thread idea btw

One thing I never considered doing was playing Semi Pro ball heard too many horror stories from relatives that played.

How was your Canadian experience? I have heard if you’re a star it’s fine, not so much for the fringe players.

 

[Classic Rams]

Played football in HS for 2 years and started both ways in the trenches. That's how old I am. We had facemasks though.

 

[OldSchool]

The fields we played Pop Warner on were near John Madden's house in Pleasanton CA and he didn't move away after I played there. All the credentials you need.

 

[gabriel18]

Leading scorer and offensive player of the year on my high school football team in 1980. Not really much to brag about though , since our record was 1-8-1.

 

[RamFan503]

started both ways

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
