The "CJ McLain Appearance"

One of my favorite moments ever took place when I was still in 9th grade. The first day of school, most of the varsity players were late getting to the fieldhouse for everyone's favorite PE period. This led Coach Perry Liles to go off on an unbelievable rant in which he highlighted with "if you don't like it, THERE'S THE DOOR!". He jumped when he pointed. About the time he was finishing up, Coach Justice walked in and picked back up where Coach Liles left off. However, he was with former Madison Central Linebacker CJ McLain, who was playing for Arkansas, and is shown here playing for the Arkansas Twisters of the Arena 2 League. After talking for a second about CJ, Justice talked about how "life don't come with a menu." Then he said one of his most famous lines ever:

"Guys, you may not look like CJ McLain. I mean look at me- I'm short, fat, bald headed, one ball bigger than the other'n."

Hilarious how that killed Liles' fiery mood in a great big hurry.
