They need all the help they can get!
I actually wouldn't say no to a sleep coach.
We should probably hire one for Loeffler.
Or he could just watch game tape from the Wake tilt last year....zzzzzzz
That might be a bit too stressful to induce sleep.
Drop and give me 8 hours!
hmmm... i think i can do this job
If the coach is going to tell me to sleep for 8 hours, sign me up. I can do that job...
Or at least try.
COEDs included or do they cost extra? :)
This is just a fancy and expensive way to make sure those kids are in bed, instead of robbing gas stations with pellet guns.
Back in my day, they called them "Hostesses"
"Quick, we need a way to take a picture of 45 or so college aged girls showing school spirit without it being in any way sexual!" "I've got it! BLAZERS!!"
They asked Pat Summit for her advice.
Well, there's a big game on their schedule in 13 months....
I'm sure they need help getting to sleep without Enter Sandman nightmares.
I didn't read the article but if the players are having trouble sleeping at night, they aren't wearing them out enough at practice. I slept like a baby during football season in my younger days.
You should probably take a minute and read the article.
The original comment was slightly sarcastic but is still somewhat related. Making sure the players get 9 hours of good sleep is great. If the players are worn out from practices, being able to sleep for 9 hours wouldn't be hard. While that is not the issue of the article, it is not completely off base.
Giving the players bedtimes and having that tracked is something I am not a big fan of. While modern college sports are a business, especially in the SEC, the real purpose should be to prepare these kids for adulthood. Part of that should be self discipline and time management. The coaches should be telling them to make sure they get the sleep but to track it and enforce it is babysitting and micromanaging these kids. Time management is one of the biggest things college teaches people IMO and being a member of a high profile, very demanding program is a great tool for teaching them but at the same time, they limit the control the players have. They have their days, including time to do schoolwork scheduled out for them. Micromanaging every aspect of their lives for 4-5 years is not preparing them for being completely on their own. Just my .02
Self discipline is not a concept at UT. Hence, Fulmer Cup.
Hence, this article. Totally agree with you though and I apologize if it came through condescending but the article was definitely worth reading. A friend mentioned to me that Ted Ginn used to sleep in a hyperbaric chamber while at anOSU. That's extreme. Maybe that's what Lefty needs?
Legarrett Blount found his post-NLF job. "Go to sleep"
Do they sing them lullabies?
