Yes it was a memorable trip and very crappy weather. The weather in Florida was 38-40 degrees and monsoon rains, while back in Illinois it was 55+ deg and nice. That group was a little scary to try to keep out of trouble but luckily quite a few parents (babysitters) made the trip also.Was that the Bolser and McWilliams era team?
I was an assistant coach. My other JCA buddy was Head Coach and our other buddy who starred at Wilmington was the Defensive Coordinator.
Dean used to think it was funny to sneak up behind me at practice and pick me up and carry me a few feet. He thought it was hilarious because I was an Offensive Tackle from JCA and then had to politely ask him to put me back down. He was a Beast.
