But teaching at an inner city LA school probably pays $50-$60,000 or more  starting out, with 30 year retirees making around $120-$150,000. I could live off that...I'm doing a darn good job as is making in a year what Has_Been makes in a week.

The PRAXIS III observation is over...I'm a little nervous about the results of the actual in-class observation as my lesson didn't go as planned and I ran out of time...which led to me not being able to formally conclude the lesson. But I know I aced the pre and post interviews.

Macke, John Paul is being inducted into TMC's Hall of Fame on Saturday. He's also being inducted into Purcell's which is also this weekend (Friday or Saturday).

yep....John Paul AND Will Castleberry are being inducted. 

I heard a rumor that Will has invited the entire coaching staff and players from the 1997 Bluffton Beaver team that gave up his 321 yards on 52 carries in the game that year.  17 starters were suspended that day and Bluffton didn't know this until the third quarter.  By then it was too late.  We had another TB run for 160 yards also in the 38-14 win. 

Will was National Player of the week for that effort, as a true freshman.

Teachers start at $45,000 out here, but have many opportunities to make much more than that.  I am in my 6th year and am at the top of the payscale, plus I teach Saturday school, tutor on Mondays & Wednesday too.  Now that puts me well over $60,000, but don't forget about the cost of living out here.  Living in Encino in a regular suburb & two to three bedroom homes, one story are going for $700,000 plus.

Encino Man!!

I'm still looking for Brendan Fraizer underneath my pool, but no such luck .

Hey Fellas!

Here's a few HCAC football tidbits!

I was in Defiance for the BB game last weekend and got a little info about the DC Football Program. 

-Mr. Dillion is definitely thinking he has a pretty good shot at the NFL, he quit school and hasn't finished his degree.

-Mr. Vetter doesn't have to worry about who he will be throwing to, as he has left school also!

Sounds like it could be an interesting few months leading up to camp.  If I am not mistaken, DC didn't even have a young QB who got experience last fall.  So not only do they have to make up the production that Dillion provided, but also all that Vetter gave. 

Hopefully I can start posting a little more often and get into the mix!

[dc_has_been]

Thanks for the info Jackets18!  You wouldn't be a QB from 98-01 would you? 

Anyways, hopefully whatever happens w/ Dillon I hope he still finds a way to finish his degree.  It would be very stupid of him not to.  I am also curious on why Vetter would leave w/ only one year left.  Hopefully he will continue his education too.

I guess DC will have to rely on one of the backups to step up just like the one I knew from 98-01 who once was something like the 6th string qb at one point, or they will need someone to transfer in, or even a freshman.  Anyhow it could be for the best.

Hey Has_been!

That'd be me!  I always keep up with the conversation on here, but never really get involved, but I thought I would start!  I definitely remember those 6th string time in life. 

I agree that it would be a shame if Dillion doesn't get his degree one way or another.  Time will tell I guess.   I have no idea about why vetter left, but I was told by a pretty good source, so unless he is planning to reenroll in the fall it is going to be an interesting story to follow.  Hopefully they can/have gotten a crop of good young QB's.  They should have been focusing there as Hans was going to be a Senior anyway. 

It is good to be able to talk a little football!

[Adam Sayer]

Dillon will be invited to camps, there's almost no doubt about that, but actually making the roster....that's a different story. It wouldn't suprise me if he ended up playing indoors but the NFL may be a major stretch.

Just finished with the Glazier Clinic. I saw Mike Emendorfer (a name many HCAC coaches will recognize) speak. He was the Hanover OC back in the 90's and is now the head coach at UW-Platteville. He spoke on the zone run game from the spread and didn't provide much new info. He did help me recount some stuff I forgot about.

I also got a chance to see the O-Line coach from Penn State, who may possibly be the funniest speaker I have ever heard...next to Alex Gibbs, whose every other word was F@ck. He talked a lot about the Power and running the Power with the QB.

UK's O-line coach wasn't a very good speaker. He had a strong southern accent and it was hard to understand him and he wasn't very energetic. He also stated numerous times, he likes his O-linemen to hit you in the V of the neck when they pull...as opposed to getting under your shoulder pads. He played for Bobby Bowden as a RB/LB and coached for him as an O-line coach, but I didn't really agree with what he was teaching.

The last coach I saw was Louisville Trinity's OC. He spoke on the play action passing game off the zone. It wasn't nothing crazy or spectatcular, but it was good stuff. I saw quite a bit of stuff I liked. He was also well-educated on the game of football and his plays and reads were similar to what you would see from a DI/NFL coach.

For those interested, the O-Line clinic is May 16 and 17 at the Millenium Hotel in Downtown Cincinnati.

Sayer:

Have you seen the lineup for the clinic this year, i was just looking at the website and it is quite the lineup.

jacket18,

dc has had no qb since you were there.

Sayer,

i was at the hc qb camp when emendorfer was oc there in 1993...guy knew his offense.

as i said earlier this week....will castleberry and jp case were inducted last night.  i got to sit at a table with coach schlager, who recruited me to tmc.   They both did well with their speeches. 

story that i was reminded of and u guys might appreciate;
will castleberry was doing NOTHING in june of 1997....coach schlager saw him atan allstar game and asked him where he was headed in the fall...figuring he was MAC bound, you can understand his shock when will said nowhere yet.  they took him to campus that day w schlager taking him in his car and another coach bringing him home that night.  he was impressed by the family atmosphere as well as the rides.  coach told us that year days b4 camp....that our starting rb was going to b a fresman and not stud dan calhoun.  we didnt see that coming (how good will was).  he started out as 4th string rb....two scrimmages later he was #2...and the rest is history... including the 52 carry 321 yd bluffton game that year with 18 guys suspended the night before the game.  bc had no idea what hit them...i threw only 4 passes that day....all in 2nd half (it was my first start)

ps...millenium is a chit-hole.
