Being sick has advantages


Well not really, but at least today I did get to see/hear Jerry on ESPN2's Signing Day Special.


ESPN Guy: Coach, you guys have snagged two, three star kids which means you're going out there against the big boys for recruiting. How are you selling Appalachian State Football now? ... I can imagine at times it may be difficult to recruit one of the better athletes in the country because it is a Division 1AA or FCS school. How has it been different now when you call up a young man and say, "This is Jerry Moore, head football coach at Appalachian State University." How much more receptive have they been to those calls?

Coach Moore: Ugh, well (grateful chuckle) we almost haven't had to make those calls at all. We've been receiving a lot of calls from those players. We really don't have to explain Appalachian.

Ummm, what's up with spell check not working? This is not funny.
