[QUOTE="Bruce Wayne, post: 231591, member: 231"] Brilliant line in there that needs to be told and retold to recruits and their parents: “Calvin plays football,” his father said firmly. “If that’s all he wanted to do with his life, he wouldn’t have gone to Georgia Tech.” At Tech it is expected that you use the game, at most other places, where higher education goes on for only [I]non[/I]-athletes, the game uses you. Calvin Johnson [I]played [/I]football. But playing (anything) does not make ones' life a success. My uncle worked with CJ Sr. and he can attest to this article's veracity in its portrayal of Calvin's father, and of the family in general. [/QUOTE]
