Fucking SERIOUSLY!?!?!?!?!?! It's amazing we won a fucking game after all of the (CTT) seasoned upperclassmen left, Jesus Harold Christ.

That relaxed atmosphere worked with the upperclassmen, because they'd been through the â€work, hard workâ€ they'd been through the strict discipline in the weight room, that's all they knew. So, the relaxed atmosphere was somewhat welcomed, but those players still busted their ass in the weight room, because they still had that fear of Coach Yox.

Starting with the first class of recruits '09, they began the next few years of not having to fear Coach Yox, because the discipline had been taken away from Yox by Coach Chizik, also enter in Coach Troop, the coach that would eventually put all of the players under his wing and basically keep them from being somewhat scolded (Coach Chizik getting in Daren Bates' face during a Special Teams play in '11, iirc).

Now we have a full team that hasn't felt a real 4am mat drills, fans off and trash cans placed all around the gym to throw up in, then going to class (those bring back some fond memories) and a full team that doesn't fear the Strength & Conditioning Coach...that's hopefully going to change and it'll be a hard lesson for a handful of players. I'm still thinking that there'll be around 5 players leaving (not including OL Christian Westerman & QB Clint Moseley), because the hard practices and training hasn't started yet.

My animosity towards Gene Chizik is gone. It's gone forever. I don't want to ever feel any sense of rage about the 2011 and 2012 seasons again.

I will use this moment to reflect on Jaylon's tweet and feel FUCKING ECSTATIC ABOUT THE FUTURE! WE'RE COMING BACK BITCHES!

It's not terribly difficult to understand.
You make shit so hard on them that they cling to each other.
The Corps has been doing it for years.

This is concerning. Workouts have their place but this staff needs to realize that staying up all night and partying are an important part of our culture. That's the problem with hiring old dudes like Ellis. You think he's ever smoked spice?

I just know you were being sarcastic.

But, the culture is a changing. Either they will change with it or be gone. It's really that simple.

If you have never been awakened by a drill instructor, emphatically telling you to get the fuck up and get "on line" then you don't know what you are missing. Maybe we need to hire a former drill instructor to be a discipline coach.

I say instead of hiring one let's just petition the commandant for the entire team to experience the first two weeks or so of boot camp. Surely chartering a bus to Parris Island can't cost that much.

Well, they bus the players to LaGrange and Montgomery before all home games so it shouldn't be an issue.

I thought the intent was to make them hard, not pee sitting down.
