And how many parents teach their children to work and inherit a family business or become the same pilot that gets to learn from the same company.

Success is trying to teach the same, the best way someone knows how. When you come from nothing, you sometimes want to try and help your children to do the same.

Cops produce cops. Soldiers produce Soldiers. Lawyers produce lawyers. Doctors...

Not all of course, but often.

The thing I want to thank you for the most is informing me that there was a CFB coach named Spike Dykes. Anyone named Spike Dykes has eaten a ribeye with his hands and used a 16 penny nail as a toothpick. Nobody will convince me otherwise.

Bobby is strategically setting up Robby to have enough experience to come be the head coach here after Kennedy retires (hopefully in 10 years and with 2+ nattys) 😂

Imagine all the collective head explosions that would occur from the Hauck haters if that happened 😂
 
The hate towards Bobby by some Griz fans has always gone way too far in my opinion but some of that goes with the territory of being a head coach. That craziness is everywhere across college football. But the hate by some middle age folks towards Robby ( a player and then a 20 something year old trying to make his way in the world) is really just disgusting.
 
I think Robby is a good coach, but the jump from PSU to Illinois is quite large. Good on him for gaining experience though!

His position has a lot less responsibility as well going from Special teams coordinator/safeties coach to assistant defensive backs coach.

The worst kept secret. He had this job 30 minutes after daddy got his. I wish him well but he's not beating the nepo baby charges with this one.

I suspected Bobby would hire him, but there was no documentation I could find to support that suspicion. But, after a week, I lost interest. Kinda like my interest in Griz Football. Evidently, I've moved on...
I'm old, and don't really give a FF about much anymore. Probably d/t Seasonal Affective Disorder.
