Coaches and the troops

More on that trip by Richt and five other head coaches to visit our troops:

• Charlie Weis‘ diary
• Tuberville: “It’s 110 degrees and climbing.”
• Ivan Maisel’s trip diary. One little blurb from that:

As the visit wound up, Richt told Frost to contact the football offices of any of the coaches if he wanted to go to any one of their games.

“OK, roger that,” Frost said.

Afterward, Richt marveled at Frost’s attitude.

“He sure didn’t act like he was feeling sorry for himself,” Richt said. “He seemed to have no bitter feelings. … I think those guys were more happy to see us because we cared about them than they were any kind of football fans. They weren’t. They appreciated that we cared enough to show up.”
