One of the best parts of being the "Voice of the Demons" is meeting the players and coaches. There are so many guys that I have had the pleasure to meet and talk to as players, and it is especially gratifying to see some of them as they get into the "real world."
One of those opportunities came Saturday night after the Demon footballers defeated Delaware State. During the second half, our sideline reporter, Jack Brittain, tracked down former walk-on safety turned integral starter and recent graduate Bruce Woods. On the various flights that we had taken, Bruce had become one of my favorite players. Always fun to talk to, with the kind of voice (deep and rich) that 99% of the broadcasters in America would die for.
I caught up with Bruce after the game and got to hear about how he is in Dallas making his way through school to become a chiropractor. He loves the talent on this Demon team and thinks they could be one of the best teams in a while once they get some seasoning and get settled in.
The thought of chiropractors has always unnerved me a little bit, with the loud pops and cracks and twisting and wrenching of the various joints. However, Bruce promised me that he would "take care" of me once he gets finished with his schooling.
If Bruce Woods is half as good a chiropractor as he is a person, then I will take him up on that offer.
