And to the caller also of course. I heard y’all on the Ragin Review post game with a caller talking about camp structure. I definitely trust you 2 ex players. So many people on here over the last 2 years acting like it was about sleeping arrangements. Listen for yourselves to these 2 ex players dumb @$$’s. They know more than you Vic and Cajun caviar and others.

Cliff notes?
Were both shocked and appalled that the team no longer comes together under one roof for camp. Talked about how it eliminates distractions, builds team unity and develops paying attention to details. They were shocked, I tell you, that we no longer do this. It’s worth the listen fast forward around an hour.Quote:

The naysayers thought it was about sleeping arrangements. Ha freaking ha.
I have had the conversation about bringing the team together during camp with a former Cajuns and Patriot DE at Reds. He is in the same camp as James and Terry. He was surprised to hear that they don’t bring them all in during camp.
What does KK junior think?Quote:

It could be a cost issue.Quote:

If that’s the real reason then we have bigger problemsQuote:

Wasn't it you that said the use of dorms doesn't cost UL anything?Quote:

I thought the postgame last night was pretty even keel and reasonable, considering the circumstances. Hello darkness, my old friend.
Yes, if you have vacancies.Quote:
