Des Makes Big Change To August Camp

[CharlieK]

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

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.

Des will take this thread and force them to read how little confidence some fans have in them and will then tell them to prove those fans wrong . . .

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.

True.

When he was a player he made a notable post on RP giving us an attitude adjustment.

ps I can't find it.

First of all if you don’t understand what living in the dorm during camp when their are no other students on campus versus living in the dorm during a semester then we can’t really have an intelligent conversation about this. In the incident you are talking about that group of players lived in the same dorm. The team as a whole was spread out throughout campus in other dorms and in off campus apartments and houses. So no the team wasn’t all together and that was an isolated event with a few players who were not being monitored any where near that of a fall camp. The ncaa made it illegal years ago to have dorms dedicated to just athletes, since then the entire team no longer lives in the same building.

LoL! Man, you're REALLY bothered by this.

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?

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.
