Reminiscing

Mr Wells and I discuss the sensational interview we just had with Joe D’Ambrosio, the Voice of UConn athletics. He was kind enough to give us his time and surprisingly, he remembered me well. Mr Wells talks about my freshman year and how I adjusted. I said for 2 weeks I couldn’t get in the way of anyone. Then watching practice film, I had no idea what it was until OL coach Norries Wilson would be perplexed at how not only did I miss my block, but fell on the ground where the RB tripped over me . It was a masters class in football and I was coming from a GED program, I took a long time to catch up. We talk about my relationship with coach Edsall and I struggled early on. Randy said that I was not a great athlete. For me to have success, I have to play at 100 percent, if I played at 90 percent, I would get beat . That always stuck with me because some guys can give 75 percent effort and being so talented, they would succeed. Loved being able to interview Joe D, I admired and thought he was one of the best simply because of his versatility. Amazing stories and a top notch episode.
