My wife said this gezegde

 My wife said this was supposed to be a steppingstone, and we've been here 22 years. The kids play only because they love it. If they leave early, it is only to chase other goals in academics. You don't have to worry about who is on scholarship and who is not on scholarship. It changes the atmosphere both in the meeting rooms and on the field. You give up the lights and a little money just to coach this.

 We're logistically challenged in recruiting, and sometimes we're a little late on guys, and we don't get the best athletes in America. So our walk-on program has to strengthen the efforts we have with scholarship players. Local kids are sometimes overlooked because they're not as fast or as big or as strong, and they come in here with the attitude of, 'I'm good enough to play.' If they prove it, we give them a scholarship.

 To cement the legacy of coach Douglas, I'm pleased to announce publicly the creation of the Bobby Douglas Endowed Scholarship. One Cyclone wrestler will receive his scholarship aid under the name of Bobby Douglas forever. I must thank John Allen for his generous financial contribution to endow this scholarship and guarantee that Coach Douglas is celebrated annually through this endowment.

 It's kind of like walking on the field. We expect them to win. Well, we expect them to get a scholarship -- if that's something they want to do. Not every kid wants to play college football. But we think that if you're in this District 5 program and want to be a scholarship player, you should get one here. It's our job as coaches to help you get one.

 We have boys on the team who are borderline scholarship kids. If the right coach saw them, they might get an offer. For the other boys, it's an experience -- traveling, going to new places, meeting other people. When it comes to development in sports, you want to play against people who are better than you.

 Our graduation rate is just under 60 percent -- the highest in 10 years. We're actually seeing tremendous gains in scholarship money -- $35 million in scholarship money -- last year. Our attendance rate is over 82 percent, the highest in 10 years.

 I live off my scholarship refunds. Because of my erratic schedule, I can't work but my scholarship money helps with my expenses.

 The Thursday before I came back to Fork Union [I committed]. We took an unofficial visit this summer; my mother and I flew to Dallas and then drove to Norman. They were my first scholarship offer. I talked to the receivers coach, Coach Wyatt, out there. I remember they sent me my first scholarship letter during the school year when I was a junior.

 He has a lot of family with ties to Alcorn. He was looking for who had the best opportunity as far as a scholarship was concerned. It's closer to home. He always said the one that give him the best scholarship offer is who he was going to choose.

 I told him we didn't have a scholarship available. We talked about how a walk-on gets a scholarship and that his best chance would come after two years.

 Being a coach, I think it's part of our job to get our kids on the market to have a chance to go to college, whether it's scholarship-wise or not. I think we have to work very hard to do that. It's gratifying to see three kids that have worked hard the two years I've been here to achieve that.

 It's funny how that worked out. I think it's great for them. It's a lot of comfort for her, too. It's a big deal. Now, she doesn't have to worry about jumping a certain height to sign a scholarship. Now she can just vault, have fun and do what she was supposed to do.

 There will be two guys competing. I don't look if a guy is a walk-on or a guy is a scholarship player. I'm looking at who is the best guy that's going to give us our best opportunity to win. That's who we're going to go with. Walk-on or scholarship means nothing to me.

 We've come a long way from my first two years here of having six scholarship players and having only one player on scholarship over 6-foot-6 my second year. This year, we had 10 scholarships, so we're moving in the right direction.

 I was valet-parking every night. When it's all said and done, I was glad I was a walk-on. That made me work harder. That made me want to beat the scholarship player. I wanted to prove wrong all of the coaches who wouldn't give me a scholarship.
