[Cider Jim]

Thanks, Super. I need to get out there in the stands, once the temperatures drop a little.

[SuperJon]

Unfortunately we only have one more night practice. Saturday's night practice was really comfortable.

[TDDance234]

Are they shortening practices at all? As hot as it has been, I can't imagine them being on the field for the full amount of time.

[SuperJon]

Today was the first practice they even cut a little short and that was only about 20 minutes. Everything else has been full time, including a lot of players running extra after the practice is over. The trainers are doing a great job keeping everyone hydrated and all of that.


You think it's hot here? You think it's hot in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina? It's probably ten degrees hotter there. The only difference is they have three trophies and we don't have any.

by the way, that last part of jon's post was a quote from rocco. he says it over and over during practice

[jcmanson]

That's great I love that quote. Keep it up Rocco!

Fixed it for you.

"Trainers" work with boxers or horses. "Athletic Trainers" are well educated and qualified Allied Health Professionals who deal with the care, prevention, and rehabilitation of injuries to the physically active.

Not true, really. I've only been to three or four practices, and two of them have been cut short by up to a half hour because of the heat ... Rocco's been very smart about the heat.

[SuperJon]

Oh, the ones I'd been at have gone as long as scheduled. Then again, I don't think we've been there at the same time yet.

[Chris Lang]

True. I'll be out there tomorrow afternoon, and probably Monday and Tuesday. Spent today up at VMI for media day, so I'll have to miss today's practice.
