Welcome to Administrative Professionals Day!
Administrative Professionals' Day (also known as Secretaries' Day or Admin Day) is a day observed yearly (but not a public holiday). In some countries, it falls within Administrative Professionals' Week (the last full week of April in the United States).[1] The day recognizes the work of secretaries, administrative assistants, receptionists, and other administrative support professionals. Typically administrative professionals are given cards, flowers, chocolates, and lunches.[2]

“Some say ‘Born Ready.’ We see the work you put it.”

Well, UVa’s assistant defensive line coach returned fire.
The response tweet was retweeted by Franklin, whether the UVa assistant meant it as return fire or coincidentally was exclaiming his kids’ passion for citrus.
Regardless, social media has made recruiting that much more entertaining ... and petty ... but mostly entertaining.
1998 NCAA Division I-A football rankings - Wikipedia (wikipedia.org)
Two human polls and one formulaic ranking make up the 1998 NCAA Division I-A football rankings. Unlike most sports, college football's governing body, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), does not bestow a National Championship title for Division I-A football. That title is primarily bestowed by different polling agencies. There are several polls that currently exist. The main weekly polls are the AP Poll and Coaches Poll. The Bowl Championship Series (BCS) Standings made their debut in 1998, and began being released about halfway through the season.
