stevewin Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) My son goes to UNCW (Beane's alma mater). He was in the library today and a buddy txted him that Beane was on campus - speaking to a class. He found out which building and went there and just went wandering around looking for him. He found him just as Beane was on his way out. He just happened to be wearing the Braves shirt and Bills hat today (though I think he wears the hat almost every day). Said Beane was psyched to see a Bills fan - said he was a super nice guy - his family was there too. Regarding important inside info - he asked Beane if he would be trading up to get a QB early in the draft and.... Beane just laughed I can't tell you that. He did comment though (unsolicited) that Daboll plans to feature the underutilized Joe Webb package next year..... j/k Update - Beane was there to receive Distinguished Alumnus award https://www.twobillsdrive.com/community/topic/201858-my-son-met-beane-today/?do=findComment&comment=4904777 Edited February 19, 2018 by stevewin 20 11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know who the Bean man is but the student is a son of a dad carrying a heavy debt load. He wanted his son to go to trade school and skip college but the son was insistent on going to college. Now his dream vacation to go to Tahiti and conoodle with some exotic women is put on hold. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Joe Webb's Package will be on full display. And it's going to be HUGE. Really something for Daboll to hang his hat on, so to speak. Once the league is exposed to Joe Webb's Package, there's no going back from what I'm told. However sources sometimes lie and things change. Stay tuned. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen Shelton is a legendary coach and former Olympian. Women's Soccer gets the headlines a lot but Women's Field Hockey and Lacrosse (Jenny Levy) are both perennial national contenders. I have one daughter who is a UNC-Chapel Hill grad and one who is a freshman at UNC-W. The freshman loves UNC-W. All the kids are Bills fans (they caught the disease). She was bummed she missed Beane when I told her today. As for tuition--SteveWin is dead on. I pay less for UNC-W than I did for Catholic High School. I got a break!
