This used to be my favorite day of the year

Remember when you had to take PTO on signing day?

 

I remember showing up to school on National Signing Day my senior year oh high school, taking a Calculus test, then faking sick to go home and keep up with recruiting. I told my mother what I was doing, and she agreed to take the call from the school and vouch for me to be sent home. What a woman.

Pretty sure that was Kiffin's year. That's the most excited I can remember being for a NSD.

 

hell I used to go to the recruiting events and sit at a big table with other schmucks who thought we were about to win a natty

 

I never cared about recruiting, tbh. I know it is the lifeblood of a program, but it is way too chaotic and too much riding on a 17 year old boy to get me excited.

For the most part. I do remember signing Manning and the other QB (cannot remember his name for the life of me), and how big a deal it was.

That's it! And I will be very honest, I was very much in the Stewart camp of that whole war. Then, when the year was over, and I looked at the stats, I was flabbergasted at how big of numbers Manning had put up and changed sides immediately.

 

I remember being in undergrad at UT, and a dude in one of my big lecture classes was wearing Florida gear and obsessively checking signing day stuff. must have been 2005. made me [uck fay]ing sick.

 

Liked signing up for the text alerts. It was like having friends

 

Can still remember walking into a middle school basketball game in 1994 and one of my friend's told me we signed Archie Manning's son, the #1 recruit in the county. I was pumped.

And now - *le sigh*

 

You should probably avoid using these words in this particular order.

 

Hey, I call it like I see it, pal.

 

True Norris, next thing you know it'll be revealed that you fingered a 17 year old boy's butthole after some PBR in the back of an el Camino.

 

It's a slippery slope.

 

The early signing day lessens a lot of the drama of one day in February. I still remember pulling Meachem and how excited I was at getting him.

 

I used to follow today so closely too. Now it’s expect the worst and hope for the best. Just like on football Saturdays.

 

Funnier still...a lot of recruits I’ve been upset about in the past rarely amount to shit wherever the land.

 

Most people just call it a poop chute.

 

Ryan's Chocolate fountain, a great dessert option or scatporn. You choose.

 

How the hell are you, Lexvol?
