2nd Annual Coaching Retreat.

Where has the summer gone? With our players reporting in a week, this is truly the, "calm before the storm". In an effort to help the coaching staff relax and regain the focus needed for the next 4 months, Coach Nichols once again set up another coaching retreat. This is basically a working/playing/more working then playing retreat. I'm kidding, but this is a great time for the coaching staff to sit down and present what they plan to do during the season. For the past month the offense and defense has met as staffs to come up with the 2008 game plan, and this is the time we have to go over it.

Football season is a crazy four month odyssey that will go by so fast you would think that you slept through the whole thing. This is another reason why Coach Nichols likes to get the coaches and get them off campus for a few days. It gives us a chance to enjoy each others company and gives us an opportunity to really plan in depth the upcoming season. Okay, and we fish and play golf....you go it out of me...are you happy now?

This season 9 of us are heading to exotic Red Bay, Alabama. That's up in Northwest, Alabama. We have some nice cabins and a good meeting facility. We will spend time doing some fishing and a day of golf, however, most of the time we will be in meetings. It will still be nice to get away for a bit.

Stay tuned for some pictures....

2008 Faulkner Football Screen Saver.

Here it is folks. If you have ever wanted a Faulkner Football screen saver and a game schedule...kill two birds with one stone. Thanks to our guys in our I.T. department, they have come up with a great screen saver that includes all of our game schedule.


















I'm not kidding, this thing looks good. In fact, our whole coaching staff has this on all their computers. Yes, even Coach Nichols. Not only will it make your computer look cool, but it will also let you know when you need to pack up the family and head out to catch the next Faulkner football game. If you are interested in this FREE screen saver...did I say it was FREE? Yes I did! Why are you sitting there reading my blog? Follow the link below and get it today.
