Don't get me wrong here. Tech did take from me, but Tech also gave back, which is what you said. Good to hear from someone else who remembers Freddy Lanoue and that AWFUL swim class. I HATED that man, but wow, what I learned. The world probably needs a lot more teachers/coaches/councilors like him.
I could not believe I had a mandatory class called drown proofing.... I should have put it together from that point on my stay here at Tech was not going to be candy and nuts .
I knew what you were saying in a positive way. I was merely trying to amplify your good post.
The suspense is killing me. Anybody ever fail that class?
Didn't you HAVE to jump off the high dive to pass? Pretty sure some in my class just couldn't ever do that.
OK, I bobbled the routine grounder, the one play every professional has to make. The suggestion was the class was "drown proofing", so I said ... Never mind. But in fact I was once a lifeguard at the city pool. Great job. High seat with an umbrella, overlooking the pool, filled with nubile young things in swim suits that revealed ... absolutely nothing. Rats.
Dunno, but I was a little suspicious one quarter when it was reported that a drowned boy was found in the pool. Not kidding. Of course, it might have been a sick joke going around campus at the time.
But what if that same guy goes out right after and commits another crime? How many chances do you give him and is it really helping him?
Did I misunderstand that Reggie Ball flunked out in the fall and was ineligible for the bowl game. I was not aware he had been thrown off the team.
