Sorry Im getting excited because the football players officially report for the start of training camp tomorrow. I hope everybody else is this amped up

[Rooster Cogburn]

YUP!

[LUconn]

anybody know if its full pads?

[Fumblerooskies]

One if by land...
...two if by sea?

[Sly Fox]

I drove by Texans Camp yesterday and nearly squeezed all the way through my steering wheel. Let's get the season going NOW!

[SuperJon]

anybody know if its full pads?

Not for the first couple of days. They go no pads and then shells the first three or four I think.

[RagingTireFire]

They got no pads and then shells the first three or four I think.

That's an NCAA requirement for all teams these days. Acclimatization, they call it.

[Sly Fox]

It is a near necessity from a weather standpoint for places like Florida and Texas.

[Fumblerooskies]

They got no pads and then shells the first three or four I think.

That's an NCAA requirement for all teams these days. Acclimatization, they call it.

Yes...same as in most states in HS. NCAA also limits the # of 2-a-days they can have in a row. Good stuff from the injury and heat illness prevention standpoint.

[Chris Lang]

2:15 p.m. for the first practice Thursday.

[Sly Fox]

So you'll be blogging by 3?

Shells?

Shells?

Helmet and shoulder pads.

[Cider Jim]

Thanks, Fumble. As Howard Cosell used to say, "I never played the game."

[Chris Lang]

So you'll be blogging by 3?

If I'm feeling frisky.

[PAmedic]

If I'm feeling frisky.

Who is Frisky? And won't she mind?

[bigsmooth]
