Gotta tip the cap to likable Tom Shields who, on two separate occasions, created some serious laughter in a Locker Room that's been void of laughter ever since we realized the Bears might go 1-15..
First time was last summer when Shields was named coach of the men's basketball program at College of Lake County in Grayslake and he insisted -- as did the school's athletic director -- that this CLC gig was not a one-and-done deal.
We all laughed when we heard that. Shields may be an excellent basketball coach, but he's never stayed at one school long enough to find out where the closest Starbuck's is. And, in all honesty, coaching a juco hoops team in an empty gym is just not his style.
Second time was the other day, reading a newspaper account about Shields taking the job as athletic director at a high school in Farmington, New Mexico. The article said that Shields wants to bring stability to that school's athletic program.
We all laughed when we read that.
Tom Shields and stability in the same sentence.
Who'duh thunk it?
Good luck Tom ... and, in all honesty, we expect to see you back here soon.
