Burt Reynolds" performance as ex-jock who played football while in prison was enjoyable and fun to watch. Adam Sandler's performance as ex-jock who played football while in prison made you wish you were in prison to avoid having to watch it.

They should apportion the $3 million or so they get from those games in proportion to the success of the various programs. We'll call it the Clarkie Success Initiative.

Interesting stuff. Thanks for posting. It begs the question though of how a one win in two years football team helps with marketing.

Some blurbs from GT's article today- University of Akron football coach Tom Arth can’t sing the praises of freshman running back Jonzell Norrils loud enough. The 5-foot-10, 210-pound freshman out of Toledo Central Catholic has taken a significant number of reps in spring practice so far and has shown elusiveness and the ability to break tackles. “He came and really showed some flashes and signs of ability,” Arth said, “but coming back this winter, he was like a completely new person. He had a completely different mindset and approach to his training, nutrition and he’s changed his body…and it’s shown up for us. Norrils is but one part of a running back room that’s gone from desert to oasis in two years. In the offseason, the Zips added Michigan State transfer Anthony Williams to the fold and promising freshman Jaylen Ball, whose brother Warren played the same position for UA, along with Isiah Childs, among others. Interesting that the article encouraging us to be enthusiastic about the running backs hits the day after the Dollard story.
