Talked to my head coach here and hes going to the American Football Coaches Asscioation Convention this weekend. Hes gonna post my resume for the Grad. Asst job up there, hopefully that will help get me some options early.

Talked with my Advisor too and found out if her meeting with some people trying to get some of my courses at other schools to count doesnt go well I might have to take 21 friggin hours this semester to grad. That would blow.

 

[PrinceVegeta]

Nice session there! strong presses!

 

[Samoan-Z]

I'd agree with PV on the presses but you are a linebacker a combination of the speed and strength of football you better be getting 275 lmao.

On the advisor front dude that just fucking blows.

I do love the BB cruls though.

 

[bambam55]

Thanks fellas. Your right samoan... my bench always seems to drop dramatically through the course of a season though just because your not able to lift heavy with the beating your putting on your body. It does look like I'll be taking 21 hours or if that won't work I might have to go to summer school and graduate then. If I could do college all over again I'd never even go to an advisor, I'd go straight to the registrar's office, the advising system is just a way to keep students out of the office to have misinformed people try to guide them on what to take only to be misled and wind up having to spend more money..... lol ok I'm done ranting

Good session bro, and yea advisors don't know shit.... I don't think there is an application process for that job tbh.

Nice session and the best thing to do during the season is maintain strength instead of gain.
