I was almost 100% sure he came in a year after Peters. And then Housey followed in at the winter break.

Some former Blue Devils (going way back on some): Jeff Baker - Georgia Tech, Darwin Pippin - VT (bb), Mickey Rogers -VT, Doug Humphreys - Vanderbilt, Dennis Wolfe - Tennessee, Rick Begley and Rick Shoemaker - ETSU (DI at that time). Just a note, the '74 state title team had at least 5 players that signed with a DI school. That might not be quite as impressive as it sounds today as scholarship numbers were considerably higher back then than the 85 of today.

CJ played at Emory & Henry and did very good,, transferred to UVA/WISE,, but i don't think he is playing this year. I understand he had surgery not too long ago.

Jeff Williams from Coeburn went to the Naval Academy

W&M, ETSU, Princeton and every other college I named are D-I--remember there are two tiers in D-I.

So, what am I being blaimed for again? Oh, I am sorry, Notre Dame is better and thus above everyone else...my bad.

And, Wofford is SoCon, i.e., D-I. If you arent familiar with Southern Conference football, then you are missing out on something special.

I mean every O-line coach around here is using Georgia Southern's coaching methods and drills. Coeburn has even adopted large segments of GA Southern's Delaware-variant offense. Appalachia State is the defending National Champions. Come to think of it, how many "DI"--albeit DI-AA--titles do GA Southern, Appy St, and Furman share altogether? This year how many boys from the region are playing at Appy St alone? D-B's center and Lee's QB from '05, those I know for sure.
