Jared Mang named Texas Collegiate League Player of the Year and a Top 10 Prospect in the league.

I was going to introduce this on the podcast and give our four combos to watch this season.

All we are asking is who are the Top-4 QB-WR combos this season. Who do you have?

I wasn't a big fan of Kapernick on or off the field before he did his protest thing and even less after especially with some of the ignorant things he said although I give him kudos for at least going out in public and trying to make a difference with his beliefs instead of being one of these guys that runs his million dollar mouth then does nothing.
That being said I think I might even be a little more peeved at the NFL and teams and the way they seem to be blacklisting him, I didn't like what he did but he is a better player than probably about 65/70 percent of qb's in the league right now and nobody wants to take him, this seems a little ridiculous from a league that has given second chances to wife beaters,guys who abuse drugs, guys with dwi's and even animal abusers who have done prison time plus the fact that this is a pro league and if you want to win you should be hiring the best people available for your team regardless of if you agree with their politics or not.

RB Moses Young did most of the damage for VV.

42-21.

Tonight, The Clovis School Board will be discussing naming either the Football Field or Field House after Coach Roanhaus. I think the field would be more appropriate. "Eric Roanhaus Field" @ Leon Williams Stadium.

I hear that LC has a shirt out pointed at me. I freakin love that! Can I buy one? (Honest)

Also can you send me a photo of it. 505-414-4313
