First official practice

I know the medical science on concussions has changed drastically since I played college football in the late 70s, but at times this new protocol seems like overkill. I know that probably sounds ignorant, but I had my bell rung about 4 times a week in practice and 5 times every Saturday and I eidysitw-dw=e t9ecsesi don't have any s%$#&))#$edsjs&%$jsj ill-effects that I know of. :) . get out there and play and then put some Pink Floyd in your headphones in a dark room for a few hours and you'll be fine.

Thank you for your insight. Please have your survivors donate your brain for CTE study and ask them to post the results in response to this thread. Appreciate it!

Just kidding Huskymedic... Three or four days of Enya and Kenny G. music would probably work better - my bad. :)

Stick w/ Floyd and Zeppelin. Enya and Kenny G cause other types of brain damage!

Williams is going to get minutes. I like him to start in the front court with Cobb. Mamadou first big man off the bench. Anderson/Vital the two guards off the bench. I think that will be our 8 man rotation.

I think I like it the other way, we'd be undersized but I like coming out to start with a more 'traditional' frontcourt, lull the other team into standard big man play with banging for rebounds. Minutes into the game you come in with Kwintin and have a few plays where you catch the defense off guard. Get some oops in there, and then the other team has to shift and overcompensate, then you hit them again

Tons of softies in this thread. ROTC training is great, it keeps the body guessing and you are using muscles you don't normally use. That makes the difference between diving for a ball to keep it in bounds or possession. Ollie wants toughness this year and is doing the right thing. These aren't kids anymore, they're men. We are going to out-tough are competition this year and it starts now fellas.

Injuries heal. Chicks dig scars. Glory lasts forever.

Strive for 5.

Saddle up.

I thought about throwing you a like here, but then I decided you didn't use quite enough sports clichés. Maybe one or two more would've done it.
 
Everyone abandon thread!

You really need to get yourself two more if you intend to post here.

How far can you run?

I thought we were aying the same thing but I'm willing to burn up 6 pages arguing with you. :rolleyes:

Please consider the possibility that AG had the proper brace but things changed. And he was kept out of practice.

Ha I interpreted your OP from "things changed" = "he got hurt".
