The Fire Bird Came A Calling for QB Quinn Ewers

 Usually I don't get such immediate and sound reaction to some of my statements in my post quite so fast. But in the  July 30 post segment about Southlake Carroll turning out NFL players on a routine basis,  following that post,  Quinn Ewers, the current QB at Southlake Carroll announced that he is forgoing his senior year and committed to Ohio State University. He will be the first to take advantage of the new rules that allow college players to be payed for the use of their name etc.,etc. The sportscasters in Dallas are saying that he will have opened the door for others to follow. The young man stated that he isn't doing it for the money as much as for what is best for his football career. He has led Southlake Carroll to a state championship and is considered to be the best overall recruiting prospect in the nation for 2021. His timing could not be better. 

It had been noted in our post that former NFL player and broadcaster Pat Summerall,  lived only a mile from Southlake Carroll. In some ways it could be viewed as "out of the ashes came this opportunity ". The late Summerall, had bought the land and developed it into a 5-acre estate that was just sold within the past month when the early morning fire destroyed the mansion.

My late son was a graduate of Ohio State passing away 100 days following his graduation. This old Michigan- Go- Blue freelancer will hold no grudge against Ohio State out of respect for my son. I have in my living room an authentic box seat stadium chair from Ohio Stadium and a section of the goalpost, both,  from the 1998-2001 renovation under AD Andy Geiger's  approval, don't you see. On the bottom of the chair is a piece of bubble gum someone left there many years ago.  It will be hard to convince me that fate didn't have a hand in this young man grabbing his chance for a brighter future and career as it presented it self to Quinn. The fates reveal themselves in the most mysterious ways. Be they the host of angles or The Lord God Almighty, God's grace and His will is about to be executed again  and some are left to just scratching their heads.
