- Salute all my former
@Buccaneers
teammates who played in the last SB that didn't have a bye week between AFC/NFC Championships & SB weekend ๐๐ฟ๐
The world needs good doctors, lawyers, CEO's, etc.. But spending 39yrs producing young men who become these future leaders, while playing a game that teaches character, resilience, accountability,ย and delayed gratification takes a whole different skill. Thanks Rich ๐๐ฟ

Marcus Freeman says Joe Alt told him that former Duke defensive end RJ Oben was probably the best guy he went against all season.
Oben officially signed with Notre Dame today.
Thank you

@Commanders
I'm days away from age 50 and I'm very sad to see the string of guys in their 40's & 50's pass before their time. Please take care of yourself guys - physically & mentally. We got our kids weddings to attend & grandkids to spoil ๐๐ฟ

There's no place for coaches to say to players, "do what I tell u or you'll be back in the hood/farm, etc.." that wasn't acceptable in 20yrs ago and certainly not in 2020. Many College athletes are the first in their families to go to graduate from college. We must do better.
Registration will open THIS Tuesday๐ฅApril 9th, Friday Night 4-8pm. OL/DL 4-6pm, Skills 6-8pm. Iron Peek Sports & Events in Hillsborough.
