    Much respect for this guy. I went to Berkeley for school and it upsets me when people knock Oakland. Everybody seems to focus on the murders, crime, etc. which is a shame. My car wouldn't start one night while in Oakland and after a while, some guys started walking over. It's late, I'm a white dude, and the guys were black and no...I didn't get nervous/scared. Why would I when I had no reason? Long story short, they fixed my car and we all ended up splitting a whole apple pie from Nations on Telegraph talking fantasy football. Oakland is a good place in my book.

    Inspiring. Any coach can get wins and losses but true coaches make their kids into good men and make a difference in their life.

    Great video man, thank you for doing this. I had the pleasure of serving as a football official with the Oakland Athletic League and can attest to the insane difficulties students throughout the OSD face. Would be awesome if you checked out some of the other schools in Oakland since they all deserve some credit!

    Oak is a twisted ass place. But when I lived their I came across a couple shook up moments. (I'm from Seattle.) I also met some of the nicest folks in the east bay. Long live the east bay.
