Refresh this old guy's memory. That name sounds sort of familiar....

Jam, it's not like you to be a smart ass....That's my M.O.   :)

** Google says Fritz Pollard was a professional football player in the 1920's. He was also one of the league's first black coaches. Sounds like an all around good guy. RIP Mr Pollard.

How do you feel about the switch from MEAC to SWAC for Famu and BCU. Do you think they have a shot football and band wise

MEAC is dying, financially I think it was a good move. Sucks to lose the rivalries but we can still schedule them.  

FAMUAN here from the highest of 7 hills we will Strike, Strike and Strike again!  If you didn't already know

The Bethune-Cookman/ FAMU game has been their last regular season game for decades. In 1974 the Wildcats were the home team. At that time all Daytona home games were played at the city's Municipal Stadium which is now a large parking lot for Daytona State on it's north side. It had aout 5,000 seats compared to Famu's Bragg Memorial Stadium's 25,000+. Someone got the bright idea to approach the speedway and see if a temporary playing field could be setup in the race track's tri-oval finishline area. This annual interstate rivalry has always been Bethune-Cookman's biggest money maker. The speedway agreed to make it happen. And 17,000+ tickets (22,000 total) were sold. I tried to post a picture of the local Daytona area members (the ? on my last post). I was one of 6 Volusia County players on a team of about 85 guys. I was looking pretty damn MEAN too !   :)   

Send me the pick and I will try to post it for you.  You got my info.

Yes, Fritz Pollard was the first black player and coach in the NFL in the 1920's. Now, the Fritz Pollard Alliance is the group of former NFL coaches that works with on more opportunities for black coaches in the NFL. I had heard that you were friends with him, but I cannot confirm that at this time. lol

See if yall can access this link for Dan's picture.  The picture will show small in the left corner but if you tap it, it will open up and can see Dans 1920 picture on the BCC Pussycats and his teammates.  Xavier Lee dad is big 72... I will not reveal which one is Dan but it won't be hard to figure out and if you choose wrong he gonna run down on you like some ATK vs KTA isht beef.

Excuse my ignorance, but is he the original Booker T Williams the school is named after?

    • Perhaps the best RB in Tampa Bay iin 2023 saw his program close, and is looking for a home. If he stays in the area,Venice is a good bet. (Lakeland may be as well).
    • And if that same newsletter asked the Osceola County Sheriff Department, what do you think the response would be? If you asked, members of the Chamber of Commerce? (Essentially a union of businesses) If you asked a group of nurses? If you asked a group of lawyers? Also a union cares about the working conditions of their members, but the working conditions of teachers are the learning conditions of students as well. People are attracted to careers because of the values that come with those careers. Political Parties attract people based on their values. So it shouldn't be surprising that certain professions attract certain people in certain careers. You act as if the principal's first question when we have a 5,000+ teachers shortage in this state is "who do you vote for? And are you a member of the union?"
    • I feel like y'all are always solid so I don't see y'all going no worse than 7-3. Biggest question mark for Cocoa is their O-line since they are only returning 1 and on the defensive side they only return their blue chip edge in their front 7 
    • Coach Wiseman, let me just preface this by saying that you were the best HC Sarasota's program has had in the last 20+ years. You brought them from being a perpetual losing program to the doorstep of competing with Venice for a district title and a deep playoff run. SHS will curse the day they fired you now that they are back in a rut. You are a true class act, and nothing will ever convince me otherwise.  Our backfield is certainly sparse right now. We do have Dorian Jones, a rising sophomore runningback whom did considerably well considering his limited playing time last season. Our offense will need an overhaul with the graduation of 3 offensive linemen and almost our entire receiving corps. Our defensive line will be strong with the return of Ke'shawn Vaughn, Elijah Jones, and Asharri Charles. Our linebacking corps graduates virtually everybody but should have at least one bright spot with the return of Ben Zarkawiecz. Our defensive backfield is still a work in progress with the graduation of Lester and Platt. At the moment, we have more question marks than exclamation points. And that's not a good feeling with the kind of competition Venice is going to face. 
    • It's possible that they find their stride by week 5, but at the moment we just don't have the on-paper talent to compete with teams like Miami NW, IMG National, Cocoa, or Bishop Verot. If Venice can find a way to go 7-3 with that schedule I would be happy
