Dre, I don't know what to tell you my friend... It is unusually quiet on the chat board before this tournament. Now my phone on the other hand has been blowing up. Guys are asking questions, they're practicing, and they seem to be taking things seriously. I'm looking at this as a good sign.

1) what do you expect to see at the brawl
I expect to see coaches who participated in last year's Brawl, do better in this years tournament. Coaches like Dearell Brevard, Biglock, Joe Greco, and Kevin Thrower made a serious impact in this style of play last year. They'll probably be more confident (AKA dangerous) this time around. I also expect to see people having some serious fun by taking advantage of our beaches and pool.

2) what do you expect to learn at the brawl
Since I'm a student of the game this is a tough one to answer. I'll just say this instead... I plan on learning everything that is being taught at the SWB. If anyone has pertinent information about any of the different aspects in our hobby; I plan on soaking up your knowledge like a wet-vac.

3) who do you expect to meet/play at the brawl
From the greenest coach to the most seasoned vet, I look forward to meeting everyone and seeing old friends. Hanging out with all of my brothers from across the country is an added bonus. I'm looking forward to getting some board time with a lot of guys... so It's all good.

4) what do you expect when the divider comes up
I expect some very creative plays on both sides of the ball. I also expect to see some very BIG plays if coaches don't learn to defend more of the field than they're use to doing at home.

5) how are your practices going
I don't really practice but my preparations for the event itself are somewhat on schedule.


Peace,

OldSchool
