Thanks Everybody. It will get better.

Sorry about the Mailing issues. It's printed in Kentucky and the Mail system took 2 weeks to send. We are bringing it back to the same printer that does Lynchburg Living for us, so we can ship it out of here.

Oct issue was very good, as much as it pains me to give credit to rockefan, I did enjoy his article with Coach Rocco...Proto you have put out another great product!!!

[prototype]

Thanks Mic. Please do not compliment Rocketfan - He will just get a big head and then I will have to remind him of how good of game Smith had against Wake.

JK- He did a great job and the next one is already looking good. We hope to be in stores either this next issue (Nov) or at the latest (Dec). When we are on the shelves we will be moving up to 84 pages, so that will allow us to add tons more content.

If you like it - signup! It's 39.95 and I promise it will be better money spent than 4 movie tickets:) www.vsronline.com

First, why is it so hard to give me credit for a good article??? You starting to sound like FSN haha. I agree, this is a quality product which is why i signed on to write for it. Don't worry, i am not getting a big head, although i love to write reality has me stuck behind a desk answering phones so i am grounded for sure. I'll be interested to hear if everyone else likes it as well.

Thanks Big Smooth. Glad you like it.

Thanks Rocketfan - I'm just giving you a hard time - your article was a great read.

There was an additional question that didn't make the cut and ill post it below( in the future i think these addtional notes will be available to subscribers online):

RA: From a personal standpoint, of all the coaches you served under who had the most important effect on you or taught you the most important lessons?

Coach Rocco: Well there are a couple of guys, Al Groh for sure. I played for Al at Wake Forest University; I was a captain down there for him in 1983. I stayed on after I played for him and coached for three years. Then I was reunited with Coach Groh with the Jets in 2000, and then spent 5 years with him at Virginia as his associate head coach, line backing coach and recruiting coordinator. I mean without a doubt Coach Groh in terms of philosophy, he has taught me so much. Al has an amazing ability to just stay focused one the bulls-eye. There can be distractions everywhere or he can have three, four or 5 guys injured on your defense and he will never offer an excuse.
I was strongly influenced by Coach Tom Coughlin; I worked with him at Boston College. He is now the Head Coach of the New York Giants. Coach Groh and Coach Coughlin were both Bill Parcells disciples. They were both on the Giants staff in the 80’s and have gone on from there.
The other guy I would like to mention is Bill McCartney, he was at the University of Colorado and I was there in 1987. He won a national championship a few years later; Bill has since left the coaching profession. He started a Christian movement for men called Promise Keepers, he has written number of books as well. Bill was a man, is a man of great passion. He has unbelievable passion for his faith, he had unbelievable passion for football, and for his family and that was a really special experience for me.
Those are some of the guys that influenced me, they’re a many more, but those are probably the guys who had the biggest impact.

In my issue that was the last question...

[Rocketfan]

Your right thought one of my questions got skipped....ill have to check again.

[LUconn]

I don't have the issue because I can't afford 4 movie tickets. But I'd really like to know if you asked him the question about LCA and if he has any plans to use it.
