4:30 P.M. — Digital Sports Football Preview (Thomas Jefferson)

The nerds actually play football too. DigitalSports continues with their 20-team Northern Region football preview. Up next is Thomas Jefferson.

Tim Puvogel has a hard job. But he's still not doing a great job, going only 3-17 over the past two seasons. It's like being at a smart military academy, where there is high turnover and the kids have other priorities. But T.J. should at least be competitive.

What's with the coach not letting the reporters take video? It's not like you are good enough to big-league anyone. Football coaches are weird.

Telling quote: "When I was a kid and got to go home after summer football practice or between practices I'd go bail hay," said Thomas Jefferson coach Tim Puvogel. "I was from a farming area, so that's what I did. But now these kids say, 'Can I go to my NASA internship between practices?' I'm dead serious: 'My NASA internship.' And I say, 'Well, yeah! NASA? Yeah, I think you should go!'" Wow.
