Sounds like the coach wanted to teach his players more then just how to play football. Way to go Coach?

Great story in the midst of so much negativity.

Looks like Rick needs to add another story to his book Hate Mail from Cheerleaders. If you liked this and haven't read it yet you should pick it up.

"Maybe it figures that Gainesville played better than it had all season, scoring the game's last two touchdowns. Of course, this might be because Hogan put his third-string nose guard at safety and his third-string cornerback at defensive end. Still."

John Blake?? Is that you??

[gatorsownu2]

Awesome!!!

[catsigater]

Thanks for posting that. Rick Reilly's a helluva writer. And that was a magnificent story.

[SoonerBoognish]

Thats a pretty unique idea. The kind of idea that make prison more like it should be in some cases, a place to reform people's behavior and outlook. I like it.

Darn allergies have got my eyes irritated.

Great story. These are kids that still have a shot at actually living a productive life, and most people forget that. Good for the parents and kids going along with it, and the coach for using that opportunity to minister to kids that desperately need the Gospel.

That coach should get humanitarian of the year. At lease a sport related humanitarian award.

[PhiDeltBeers]

Sounds like movie material. Thanks for the post.
