National signing Day and Fax Machines: Why That Old Technology Makes It More Fun 

2/5/2014

0 Comments

 
Wednesday was National Signing Day. The day when 17 and 18-year old high school football players put the pen to paper and make their school of choice official and then fax it off to that school's football offices.

Yep, a fax in 2014.

If you don't know what a fax or fax machine is, ask your parents or older sibling...then keep reading.

While many have said that it should be faded out within the next few years, they might reconsider when they see what happened inside the football offices of the Shippensburg Red Raiders in Pennsylvania in the video below.

The excitement as head coach Mark "Mac" Maciejewski walks into the room with the fax machine (and a microwave?), walks out and announces the name on the letter on intent with jubilation from his staff. I also liked the first shot being a snow-covered field at Seth Grove Stadium at dawn.

And just think, spring football will be here before you know it.

I am also an alumnus of Shippensburg. Don't hold that against me, fax machine haters.
