To practice or not to practice

Post by Gotcha »

We are allowed 15 practices before the bowl game right? Then why are we using just 11? Guess our performance in the last 6 games was so good we don't need the full 15. Wonder if the "give a shipt factor is present?"

JJ hasn't ever used all of the practices, has he?

I figured with the game being so late though that he would this year. Lots of coaches don't use them all, but I think that is stupid. Use the other 4 to get the underclassmen some reps.

We could use all the practice possible.

This has to do with Finals, giving kids time home for the holidays, and NCAA rules about how many hourse per week. Sometimes logistics get in the way and you can't do everything available

No thats definitely true, but as a team though the severely need the practice. Im just afraid with McDermott it really doesnt matter.

June clearly knows what he is doing! His way always works! He is destined to be compared to Les Miles, Nick Saban, Urban Meyer, etc, etc...........

The backup place-kicker needs the practice. BTW what is Hover's status? How long does it really take to recover from mono? Won't it be around 10-12 weeks by the time of the bowl game?

Study glandular fever.
Some seem to recover in a few months.
Others still have problems 10 years later like they never can get over it. I read that stuff under medical websites and message boards.
