this is great :D i want the shirt that barkley's wearing :nod:

Kids are fatter, outside less than the old days too. Yeah, fix that stuff first, but black turf isn't going to help.Quote:

Money will be all private funds... no university funds. Saturday we'll be announcing naming rights for the stadium and along with that, somewhere between a $15-$25 million donation to go along with that. I imagine much of that will go to the facilities plus additional donations.Quote:

Yeah, 'cause athletes are so good about managing their heat level. You never hear about someone having heat stroke or getting dehydrated ... especially during HS games where players are more likely to be playing both ways and not taking a break.Quote:

None of those players died in game situations. Every single one was at practice. The hydration situation at practice and game day are totally different. Like most schools, we never use Gatorade for practice but we have 50 gallons of it on Friday nights. There's also a huge difference in temperature between early/mid afternoon and 7:00 in the evening.Quote:

I didn't say anything about the deaths. Dehydration, heat stroke, and any other heat-related problems have impacts that are more than just death.Quote:

And I know, as a trainer, you know this ... there's a big difference between having a plan and pulling it off. Especially when it comes to know-it-all kids.
Not to mention that once a person has a heat injury, it gets easier and easier to occur for that person down the road. Seen it happen often down here.Quote:

rumors of a huge story is about to be dropped regarding auburn are starting to get around on some message boards.
The follow-up/rulings on Auburn, Oregon, and Miami are well past due..........
I'm not sure if it's just playing lesser opponents (wouldn't think Illinois is that bad) but ASU really looks good. They move the ball down the field like nothing flat. Impressive!
I like finding any reason to look at Rivals.com or pro-college footballreference.com.
