Football signing day: Still crazy after all these years

As the story goes, college booster groups would fly in this so-called “recruiting guru” every year to give his assessment of the school’s incoming football recruits.

The gathering would be festive. Beer, live music and crawfish fueled the anticipation.

In time, the recruiting guru would arrive to great applause, stride to the microphone and issue three words. Every year, as the story goes, the same three words:

“Best. Class. Ever.”

The audience would roar. The band would play.

And the recruiting guy would shuffle off to his next stop, where he would repeat the exact same routine.
