Any former or current players post on here?

Current players probably don't have a lot of free time but I'm sure they lurk. Parents, recruits, and past players definitely post and lurk.

So let's all mind our P's and Q's. :biggrin:
 
By the time I was 10 years old I was already a three time all-american at Bama. Sadly, my career was cut short by what turned out to be a startling lack of ability.

Similar deal here. At age 12, I was as tough to tackle as Wilbur Jackson and could hit & tackle like John Croyle & Robin Parkhouse. (the 3 younger kids next door could attest to these facts...)

Regrettably, though, I fairly well stopped growing around that same time. And I was short then. I combined small stature with a blazing lack of speed to transform my athletic career *coughs* *clears throat* into the stunning success I've seen. ("seen" is to be taken very literally; student section, season tix, away games, bowl games, all seen from the stands or on TV...and btw, the 3 younger kids next door all became large, muscular Marine pilots--fortunately, I had the good sense to cease playing football with them once they began approaching me in size...)

A cautionary, yet important personal history. I know it had to be difficult, but thanks for sharing.
