Calling out Coach French...who wants ice cream?

Me getting instructions from Coach French, 1982

A running joke in our family is John Combs getting Coach French an ice cream. When JCB was a manager for Coach French in the East-West All Star Game in 2009, most meals ended with him going to get coach a serving, or two, of ice cream.

JCB would hang on every word that Coach French said.

Coach French  refers to modern football practices as an "ice cream social"... not very tough or physical.   One day when his mom picked him up after football practice, JCB said he had watched another sports team have practice. He told his mom, "that is not a practice, that is an ice cream social!" 

I have challenged Coach to a bet for the Mercer-Southwestern (where he is now the head football coach) basketball games tonight. I bet him an ice cream that we will win both games. JCB will be at the game, so whoever has to pay, at least he can go pick up the ice cream just like in 2009.  :)
