the truth is

The truth is, I can honestly say, is that
I AM NOT A HOMER
I have been accused more than once of favoring one school over the other but I just don't see that as being true.
I write on whatever hits me
Sometimes it hits me on Monday or sometimes on Saturday/
When it comes to my mind, I have to write it or I feel like I need to take a bath.
It does me no good I have found, to get my creative urge on Saturday, because if I write a blog on Saturday nobody reads it.
My purpose is still the same, I want people to read and enjoy what I write.
I tend to write on subjects that I am closest to and familiar with.
Famous people (Mark Fariba) tease me about being a homer for another school in Macon, but he knows it really is not true.
At least I think he does.
I will admit that sometimes I go really heavy on one school for a period of time and the reason behind that is simple. If I write a Tattnall story and it gets 300 hits and I write a Stratford story and it gets 50 hits, then what do I need to write about ?
I think the answer to that is clear.
I have put polls on twitter before like who is the best player and stuff like that. Well because of one small statement I wrote, I was basically was asked if I knew anything about football or sports in general.
Well the truth of the matter is, yes I know a whole lot about football and even more about sports in general.
I can talk in detail about the spread offense and what we want to get out of it, and I am a fan of the option and will be glad to tell you who is supposed to block who on most plays. I can talk about the 3-4 the 4-3 and most any other defense you want to talk about, and I can talk about skill sets of players.
I could also kick a field goal from 30 yards right now, today, and give me five kicks and I will make 2 out of 5 with no practice.
In short, I have forgotten more sports than most will ever even know, so please don't question my knowledge.
I love all the local schools I truly do, I have great friends at all the private schools, I have a great relationship with Joe Dupree and all the rest of the public school coaches, but I tend to write on what draws the most hits for my blog.
That's a natural thing right? If I write I like to be read.
Thanks for reading .
Now lets go play some football
