Because it relates to our former coach. But I had to laugh out loud this morning reading about the UA scrimmage. It was raining in Fayetteville and you all know very well what the discussion would have been last year had it been raining during a practice, not to mention a full scrimmage.

Well the Arkansas coach said that there was no way they would stay inside. They would practice in the rain. And he went on to say that he was upset that it did not rain harder to see how the players would perform.

That is my only comment.

Well, it rains on Saturdays in the fall. IPF or not, there is some sense in doing that...but for the have-nots, an IPF would be nice.

SMU...late to the table, but present and accounted for...

The IPF is a total crutch. Players should learn to adapt to the conditions in which they will play. The reality is that field conditions in Texas in September could see field temps. around 140 degrees. Rain and wind are elements in which players must learn and adapt. Do not expect great game performances when players are practicing in ideal conditions and then struggle with heat, cold, rain, snow and wind.

Practicing in the rain is cool until there’s a lightning strike within a 30mile radius (which happens 90% of the time it rains in dallas) and you have to stop and go inside for 45 minutes per student athlete safety rules.

The guy has a daily list of catchphrases he practices in the mirror, before bringing them out in team meetings and media interviews.

Don't expect to get many difference making recruits past diamond in the rough types when you don't have a facility that over 80 area high schools have for their football teams.
