More rain and lightning today. We saw it coming, so Coach Miller skipped our stretching period and went directly to P.A.T (Point After Touchdown.) We worked PAT for about 10 minutes and went right to our unit period. We ran about 15 minutes of unit, and suddenly we were sucked into an abyss. Lightning struck and set off all sorts of alarms. We had to go inside. Then came the rain. And boy did it rain. Each unit (offense and defense) went into different portables and watched video of the scrimmage on Saturday. This is always interesting, because "the eye in the sky don't lie" and the players get to see their mistakes (and the good things) on video. Finally at about 4:45, we were able to get back on the field. Randy went straight to a full 7 on 7 full team passing period, and we threw in some running game as well. This was a good period for both sides of the ball. We finished with some conditioning and got off the field at 5:30. We have our final scrimmage tomorrow, and then we officially begin our normal game week preparation. We still have a lot to do next week. I hope the weather cooperates with us.
I may have been falsely accused of a wrong doing on Saturday. It appears that someone MAY have celebrated an offensive score with his arms out to the side (like a jet) and flying past the defensive coaches hollering WHOOOOOOO! I realize that "the eye in the sky don't lie" but I am not convinced it was me. Like I always say: "ALWAYS deny it was you. Even if they catch you doing it, always deny it was you." I will not rest until the culprit on the video is brought to justice!! Miller and Perry were kind of salty today. LOL. It is fun to see those guys get a little riled up every now and then. The defensive players feed off their energy, which makes it a little difficult for us (on offensive) at times. I really like our defensive coaches, and I can see why they are great teachers (in the classroom) as well. Great coaches have to be great teachers, and I think our staff is exceptional.
College recruiters are a mixed bunch. Some of these guys come on campus and you just know this guy is a college coach. Some guys come on campus and you wonder: "How in the hell is this guy a college coach?" I guess it takes all types. You see some of these big-time coaches on TV and you would figure these guys will be all full of themselves and think they know everything about the game. Once you talk with them, you realize these guys are just like us, with the same kind of problems as us.....just at a larger level. Coach Bobby Bowden and Coach Howard Snellenberger are two of the most genuine guys you will ever meet. I can see why their player's love them.

There was a celebration incident on Saturday and it was caught on film. There will also be a line up for identification. Now since there are only two coaches on staff that are pigment challenged there will be little question on who the said offender is!!!! I certainly don't celebrate when our defense gives up a score. I also did not see any celebratory actions after the goal line stand at the one yard line or after the takeaways that our defense created... Hmmm?
ReplyDeleteThe competition between the coaches feed over to our kids. All the coaches on our staff played college ball and are ultra competitive so we really get into it as our players perform. Whether it is a game, scrimmage, drills, or even a card game... We love it when our kids compete.
....as far as the 'fly over' celebration... There will be justice!!!! See you on the field!!!!
