Spring Practice

[dressedcheeseside]

View attachment 5298 When Exxon asked me to go to Prudhoe bay Alaska to work on the Alaska pipeline , I went into a stair well to think. I closed my eyes and visualized the flat and w wind blow snow. Then my mind says were the blue water. I never went and now I am back in Pensacola living on the water at last spot that's undeveloped.

Question: why live north of I 10. That's what they made airlines for!

Ya ever stop by McGuire’s for a pint? I played drums in their pipe band back in the day. I have very fond memories of my time in ol’ P’cola!

Yeah this was my backyard about a week ago (none has melted and we’ve added a couple more inches on top since), I always get a kick out of all the hate that a little weather gets from our fans. It’s not all bad, I’m able to drop the kids off at preschool and spend 3 hours snowboarding at the east coast’s biggest mountain 2-3 times a week and in mid-week days when it’s nearly empty. I’m actually gonna be sad when winter is over and all this snow is melted (although trying some downhill mountain biking might help ease the pain).

Fine place.
Shepard's pie & 15cent cup bean soup - w draft beer in frozen mug - sending selfies from the ND room to my Irish buddy. Note to self get extra tickets for ND at MBS.
I , being old, have fond memories of the teenage hang out spot that was near there in the 50-70 era - fire house . Buddy had a 65 navy blue mustang convertible. Took my old Rambler down a nearby dirt road that had a bay overlook where u could watch the submarines races.

Now my memories are more about food.

Jacksonville on the river is fantastic. Andy said I missed a helluva party after the gator bowl. I didnt realize how far ATL is from jax! I hope we go back there for a bowl game.

Spring practice this year is looking crazy

Can you imagine the kids from last years team and what they are thinking and experiencing with the New Regime?
They are experiencing a totally new way of life.
A paradigm shift of sorts?

The azaleas in mine are, and the buds are beginning to burst on several flowering trees in my neighborhood.

We had a little cold snap here, but most things still will be blooming in the next week-to-10-days. A sure sign that tornado season is just around the corner.

Needs local radio and a performance.

We actually implemented some of this last year. The electign captains before spring, seperating into teams, scoring against each other etc. We just didn't market it as much or do these themed workouts.

Dude. While in spots i agree with what u r saying above. But this is totally different than last year. Talk to the players. Its night and day. Now. That doesnt mean they are working harder or the workouts are more effective. But the whole thing is totally different....

Anyone have any idea when the 1st day of practice is?

Anyways, back to spring practice...

I cannot remember a spring practice in the past that is so filled with uncertainty on both sides of the ball. A lot of position changes, hurt feelings, transfers, and general bitching along with the usual hope springs eternal is in the offing. I would be willing to bet this will be the most physical, most intense, and most scrutinized spring practice in living memory. It could potentially be that significant to the future of our program. IMHO

No doubt about it, the entire culture of the program has changed markedly. However, one caveat, being different may or may not be the same as being better. Many fans wanted more juice, hype and excitement around the program...well, you got it. Whether or not, all this hoopla produces more wins, better recruiting, and a significant increase in national exposure is yet to be determined. As the kids like to say, "brace for impact". Cool, did I do that right?

Ice:
I usually ask a similar question. I visit the Gulf Coast a bit. But,
why live South of I-20?

So I'm confused are practices open to the public? I remember Collins giving out days they practice and the times... does that mean they are open to the public?

No dates have been released yet for fans to attend

All of the hype and everything is great, but what should be preached is patience. We open against the National Champions...

For the fans, sure, but I hope CGC instills the belief in our players that they will take the defending national champs down.

Exact quote from a current player, “I actually like waking up now and coming to workouts bc i don’t know what to expect each workout”

I use to like just working out... because I was working out. But eh new generations and all that. There is an arnold quote about it but its a bit outside the posting guidelines.
