Look I know people wonder why would we go back to Uganda after what transpired.
The first trip to Uganda, on the outside, looks like a total failure on the football front.
There was so much hype so much promise.
I literally felt like I was in an uplifting sports movie that was bound for a happy ending.
The reality is the Ugandans actually played amazingly.
It was demoralizing knowing that the full story wouldn’t come out till the video came out.
Seriously, the Ugandans had one subbing mistake on defense, costing one touchdown.
Most of the other plays looked like this.
Hearing 14-0 and seeing all the Kenyan highlights makes the whole situation look terrible.
That was the past.
We are on to Nairobi.
We couldn’t fathom not going back.
I was going to go anyway, with or without funding or Donny.
It would be egregious not too.
The thing is, we don’t have to change anything about our game plan, Personnel.
We literally just need to bring referees.
The thing is, the Kenyans have beaten Uganda time and time again.
Who knows how much robbing of yardage using the 1st down markers has happened to them in the past?
They have low funding due to their lack of success.
Uganda has way better Wide Receivers than Kenya.
Kenya has better linemen.
tbh, his biggest challenge is English.
I message these dudes every day.
The beauty of the internet is you’re able to find drills on YouTube with translations if needed.
Ever since leaving Uganda, all I can think about is Uganda football and beating Kenya.
A lot of college football players leave college a little jaded when it comes to football.
They lose the obsession and passion for their first true love (Football).
Going to Uganda made me fall back in greater love with football again.
The modern world allows for revolutionary coaching techniques internationally.
I can send defensive linemen video examples of stunting and pass-rush techniques from a continent away.
I’ve never met guys so eager to play football and not give a fuck about the suck.
These guys send me videos of working out every day.
Hardest working players that cut 0 corners.
These guys are an inspiration to anyone who plays the game.
you’ve got the option to’t not just go back for guys like this.
I would be a man of no honor if I gave up on these guys.
They won that game in my book.
We gotta go back.
I am figuring out how to get an international ref there as well as holding a reffing seminar.
The guys are coached up.
Our backfield was running the ball down their throats.
Democracies have ended up going to war now, so that trope doesn’t work.
American football is the only way to world peace.
It’s unstoppable except for that crazy moment that no one could predict.
I am very thankful to Pardon My Cheesesteak for once again being a Patron of the Art of Football.
