I was also there.  We played great until we got called off the course.  6 under through 9.  Spoke to Shaf, Daoust and Chuck for awhile. 
 
Coach Reed and Smith are both extremely nice guys, well spoken and polite.  McDonald, Moore and Lester were on the west coast getting ready to hang out with Coach Harbaugh (Shafer hooked them up).  He felt it was important that his whole staff be at the golf outing (and apologized they weren't all there), but felt this was a great opportunity for them to be mentored by a great friend and coach, Harbaugh.  He promised that the whole staff would be in attendance next year. 
 
This staff as a whole is like a big brotherhood... the chemistry between them is great to witness.  The players must be completely drawn to it.
 
Introduced some of the GA's, one of which is helping Eric White with recruiting and told us to "prepare for a top 25 class".  There are other things Shafer said about many 4 and 5 star kids, which caused me to laugh out loud, but I won't add that here.  He said this program WILL win with kids who want to be here, not kids that need to be coddled and begged to come here.   loved everything else he said, but I will leave it at that.
 
Shafer was presented with a hammer.  He started off his speech holding the hammer.  It was funny.
 
[B]I will say that listening to Shafer is truly a pleasure[/B].  The man is passionate, used some off-the-record language and has a genuine desire to build SU football into a perennial winner.  I could not be happier that he got the HC gig. 
 
I will say that when I walked out of dinner, I was jacked up... Penn St cannot come soon enough.
 
I love SU Football.  Coach Shafer does too.
