National Signing Day

[goldeagle]

Is the date Wed, Feb 1st, or Tue , Feb 7th? Anyone going up to the AA to watch?

I believe it is the 1st. I don't understand all the hype over the event though.

It's nice to see the coaches talk for a small audience. I enjoyed it only time I went...

Not as thrilling as when you'd go see signing day when John Heisman coached the team?

 

[GTTerrific]

Yeah it's the 1rst. I'll be there. Always enjoy it, and really looking fwd.

Exactly.

Great hearing from the coaches who recruited the players and who were the primary schools we were competiting with. Usually a couple of good recruiting stories.

The drama as the Western Union courier pulled up on his horse, dismounted, walked up to Heisman and delivered each telegram was second to none.

When players didn't show up it was because they died of the dysentery

I took that to mean he thought it was the worst. 1rst = worst.

 

[BuckNasty]

Aren't there free donuts and öööö?

Where's "they all come highly recommended" on the card?

in the beginning there were about 6 people that went down to the Edge Center to see the names go up on a board as the faxes came in. at the end, Coach came out and talked for a few minutes about the class. a few questions were asked. the administrative assistance had hurriedly found us some coffee

in the ensuing years, things got better prepared and more publicized. the crowd got bigger, more coaches talked, they provided food like danishes etc.. .
year after year, the event got bigger and more publicized.

last time i went there were more people than could fit in the room, and a rather large spread of bagels, danishes, etc (maybe even ChikFilA bfast sandwiches) across two tables was ready to be decimated by the crowd

now, the event - i think - gets streamed across the interwebs and you dont have to drive through traffic, park far away and walk, scrunch into a smallish room with too many dudes who all think they know a lot about football and recruiting in order to mostly sit around

they have a bigger event that you pay money to go to and its a dinner and they do the same presentation in a better atmosphere if you want to go see that. the morning session is a way to do that for free, but going down there seems like a waste now that they stream it online.. the food aint worth it

 

[User 8976]

Exactly.

did they have paper back then?

it's really just Kelly Quinlan and everyone else tries to jam in.

Tomorrow is a holiday at Mutt Nation. This is the day they hang another Pre-Season National Championship Banner.

They'll probably talk about how they have another "dream team".
