talk nothing but recruiting night and day is a careflly guarded secret.
We salivate over distant dreams of imagined exploits of 18 year old HS athletes
we will never meet and would not recognize -- or speak to -- if we stood beside them at a crosswalk.
We quote, re-quote and inflate their size, speed, agility and athletic prowess until we pass out with euphoria.
We chortle as we contemplate the titan sized army that will be dressed in our colors this fall and at the thought of our enemies cringing in fear.
We bolster our fears of losing by running recruiting names and stats through our heads like so many gold coins in our fingers.
We gain confidence and purpose for our days as we approach SIGNING DAY and we stay home in from of the computer, the TV, the radio, the fax machine, the homing pigeon roost, the telephone, and the newspaper box.
How does that sound?
