Des Makes Big Change To August Camp

[ManAboutTown]

Can't wait for the in-game threads....

All time level of madness on RP coming for those..

[CajunVic]

I would imagine des probably hopes his players never discover there is such a thing as Ragin Pagin more a less point it out to them.

Oh, they need to see this one.

Well, you were technically wrong when you told the other poster he was wrong as you were both right.

Not hardly. What he said is a myth. How many females in the military get shaved heads?

[JMV JustMyView]

You ain't lying. We won 40 games in 4 years under Napier. A school that had never, in something like 345 years of football, won 10 games even once. We averaged that for 4 years. And the game threads were a complete ____show, in which you swear our coach shouldn't be leading a pee wee team in the berry.

Them Westgate Tigers from the Berry won state! No pee wee going on.

I agree Vic 10 pages is a little much. But if you only see this as about housing and not about what your losing from a team bonding aspect and a team remaining focused aspect and the potential of having kids running the roads all night during camp where they would not in the way it was done previously then you are completely missing the picture. JMO.

Of course he is missing the picture. How can you expect someone who never played any kind of sports in school to understand the need for a team building environment, especially with a new regime. And yes I know Des was here last year. But not as a head coach & many of his assistants are brand new as well. Of course if they get off to a less than stellar start, you can rest assured the koolaid drinkers will be the first ones to attack anyone who questions the methods which might have led to that underachievement. I'm not wishing for bad things. But these guys are still 18-20 somethings with a lot of raging hormones & ideas of having fun that most of them weren't allowed to do at home. I think any time you give your team a greater sense of family you strengthen their desire to play harder for each other.

Some UL players and coaches are already on this site.

You do realize the guy who implemented this policy played sports at a higher level than you do anything, right? Jesus do you even listen to yourself?

I got a text this morning that was so ridiculous, I think I should say something here.

Any of you lazy “writers” for the rags in this town getting ready to make this a “story”, you should give up on the idea. This is the biggest non-issue thread.

Per people very, intimately familiar with the “decision” to let kids live off of campus: FB players that qualify academically have always ALWAYS been able to live off of campus. There is a narrative being shaped here and on social media that Mike is soft on the players and this was misconstrued as an example of that narrative. There are agendas at work here. Be very careful what you read.

I think he was talking about the crowd that will support, no matter what.
