Yeah. It truly was. By a high power.

So I got a football scholarship. And man, I thought it was the greatest thing ever. So I got to Concord University, which is a school in West Virginia, Southern West Virginia. And I got there, and coming from a small town, our partying was different, man. Our partying was... in the fields, chucking Bud Light and drinking Bacardi 151 by fire, right? That's more dudes than girls, whatever.

You know, it's the country. I mean, I grew up with everybody that was there anyway, so I've known them my whole life. So I go to college, man, and I went early for summer practice. It was kind of boring. It's just football all day. Meetings in the morning, meetings in the afternoon, practice in the morning, practice at night. God, this sucks. So then the rest of the students started coming in.

And right as football was starting up, I went to my first massive college party. And it was in like an apartment complex. It was like all these apartments were having one big party. You could go from apartment to apartment. So I go down to this one guy's apartment, and he's like, nah, man, football players aren't allowed in here. I'm like, get out of here, man. Get out of my way. Big boy.

I mean, I thought I was something. You couldn't tell me nothing. I was 18. I had a football scholarship. I was on the football team. I took two steps. This dude came up behind me and punched the living fire out of me. Boom, knocked me out. Fell down the steps. I woke up, my buddies were carrying me to the car and they went back in to party and I laid in the car in pain.

There's a small bone that's like right here that he had broken. And I had to go to the doctor the next morning and had to go tell my football coach I can't play because I was at a party that I wasn't even supposed to be at. You know, we weren't supposed to party. He's like, well, fine, you're not playing. He goes, um,

You know, you're going to be redshirted and, you know, don't even know if we're going to carry on your scholarship next year. I was like, all right. I understand. I understand. Whatever. So, man, for the next like two or three months, I never went. I didn't go to one class. Not one class. I didn't even know where my class was. I knew where the food hall was and the gym.

And I stayed in my room and played Xbox all the time. That was back when, Call of Duty, when they had the zombies, the zombie game. Man, I was playing that all the time, partying at nighttime. Well, about November, well, October, right before Halloween, I go to my room, and on my door is this letter from the college. I'm like, what is this? Take it off, go in my room, open it up. It's like, ah.
