That motivation has come over the last week or so. A brief vacation, a pretty awesome gal and some good news outta the Hill didn't hurt:
First came the commitment of Bentley Spain. Hailing from my Alma Mater, Providence High School, Spain is one of the biggest OL recruits recruits in the southeast for 2014, choosing the offer from Carolina over the likes of offers from Clemson, Florida, LSU, Michigan, and Virginia Tech. Kid looks like a stud from the limited film that's out there on him. He's been bit by the injury bug the last couple of years, so I'm hoping this guy can stay healthy for his senior campaign. Welcome to the family Bentley!

The second instance for motivation came yesterday with the commitment of another Providence High School ball player, son of Wake Forest and Carolina Panther great Ricky Proehl, Austin Proehl. Everything I read/watch about this kid is he's a smart football player and has the willingness to contribute wherever he is needed. Austin played a lil QB, Running Back, Receiver, Safety, and Cornerback, plus returned punts and kicks. Kid reminds me of Damon Magazu, former teammate who's started at ECU since he set foot on campus. I like him at A Back, plus seeing some action as what his dad was a great as anyone: a possession receiver. Welcome to the Nation, young man!

The third instance, as cheesy as it sounds, it was pretty awesome was getting re-tweeted by Coach Fedora.

Nothing crazy, ground breaking or earth shattering, but hey, who doesn't enjoy getting some love from the Coach I want to succeed more than any other in college football. Thanks for the shout out, Coach!
Life's funny sometimes y'all. Sometimes you're in a pretty dark place with work, your workout regiment, and with your fandom, and the the compilation of a couple days vacation with the family, a growing relationship with a gal you're into, and some good news from Alma Mater can get you right back into the swing of things.
I've got 3 things besides friends and family that'll help me with my next vicious 18-24 months of work: hittin that weight room, cold beer and College Football.
30 days y'all.
LET'S GO.
