Hey, college football fan: a cruise from Miami to Cozumel next January sounds pretty nice, right?
Well, what if I told you you could chit-chat in that cruise's buffet lines with Pat Dye? Sun by the pool with Houston Nutt? Catch a Copacabana-style musical revue with Vince Dooley?
OK, so I'm not certain the legendary Georgia coach would be up for that, but if all goes as planned you could ask him yourself on the "Legendary Coaches Cruise," which promises to bring fans together with all of the above coaches and a dozen more retired college football luminaries to boot.
Seriously, look at the lineup here: Phillip Fulmer! Gene Stallings! Danny Ford! Bill Curry! The man, the myth, the legend Howard Schnellenberger! Rich Brooks, and, if there's any justic in the world, Rich Brooks' Twitter feed! From the Legendary Coaches Cruise homepage's appropriately breathless FAQ:
Sail with more than thirty of the most storied coaches and players in college football history. Kick off the event by watching the live broadcast of the College Football Championship game alongside the coaches and players who have lived it on the field. Relive iconic games of the past, get the scoop about those crucial game-defying plays, learn some of the secrets from the bench, and experience college football like you’ve never experienced it before as you vacation under the Caribbean sun!
That is 100 percent true, Legendary Coaches Cruise FAQ: I have never in the past experienced college football by sipping an exorbitantly-priced daiquiri with John Cooper.
