gr82be 14,423 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 All of this conversation about counselors responsibility and such made me think about when I was in high school. Maybe it's because I didn't struggle in school, except for Chemistry, but I never even visited the guidance counselor and he never approached me that I recall. It's definitely different today versus then but I wonder how many who need guidance slip through the cracks. I would think that the coach and counselor would be aware of any shortcomings but the student has to do their part. Parents have got to get involved too. This shouldn't be a senior year discovery for anyone and a student that studies doesn't forget how or why they're doing it during their final year. Hopefully Bell has done enough to get in and has learned something bigger in the process. Sometimes it just takes a shock to wake you up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I have heard it said a time or two......."if the job was easy, anyone could do it:" but it's your job ...so do it right". 31 minutes ago, Mikey said: Hahaha. You're the guys who don't think it's our head coach's fault when we lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get a lot of it now because we are in a no contact period which basically means no new information so people are bored for some this provides entertainment. I personally like Netflix for entertainment when there is nothing else. It is that or my wife's Honey-Do list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those people and Bell himself squeaked him in just under the wire. Signees with a support staff that did their jobs just fine were already enrolled in class at Auburn and going through summer workouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
