With all the of the feel-good vibes around Underwood, let me add a text exchange I had with a 6A hoops coach in DFW. I get the feeling this sentiment is widespread.
Tons: Tell me what you think about Underwood to OSU
Coach: Gold
Tons: U know him?
Coach: Watched his practices three or four times in last few years. His guys play harder than anyone in America. Needs some players tho...
Tons: Well I'm pumped
Coach: Plus he's not a prick, down to earth guy. Step up 4 sure in human being dept.
Coach: Ford not good to coaches, arrogant. He played for an arrogant one, it was modeled for him.
Just more validation to me that Underwood is your classic "worked his way up and made friends along the way" type of guy. Between the crazy good SFA stats and this anecdotal stuff, I really, really think we hit the jackpot.
