You never know who you might be sitting next to at a restaurant.
My wife and I were having dinner yesterday at a local Mexican restaurant. There were two men sitting at the table next to us and they were joined by a third man shortly after we sat down. The third man greeted one of them as "coach ". I figured he must be a coach at one of the local high schools. As we ate our dinner we couldn't help but overhear some of their conversations. It became apparent that one of them was a college coach recruiting someone. We heard a number of college names including Iowa for some reason. My wife finally asked them where they were from, stating I was a huge Nebraska fan and they were killing me with their recruiting talk.
They introduced themselves and it turns out that one of them is the Defensive Coordinator from Colorado College of Mines in Golden Colorado. He was there visiting with a local High School coach and the father of a student he was recruiting. Issac Cater, the Defensive Coordinator from Colorado College of Mines mentioned that they were Division 2 school and play a school from Nebraska, Chadron State. I said, "that's where Danny Woodhead went". He said, "Yes I know very well that he went there. I coached against him while at New Mexico Highlands". I told him, "Yep, the coaches took a lot of grieve for not offering him a scholarship to Nebraska". He said, "Well, a lot of coaches missed on him including in the NFL" We then told him we'd let him get back to it and excused ourselves.
Just thought I share and thanks for looking.
