A REAL FOOTBALL NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP CONVERSATION

January 8, 2016 by

If your team’s not in the college football national championship, who do you cheer for? “What are the teams playing for the college football national championship?” Alabama and Clemson. “Clemson?

HOW NATIONAL CHAMPIONS HAPPEN

June 16, 2014 by

Always start with kids. None of that ‘I just picked up a ball last year’ stuff.
