Supposedly they're doing tours for the hoi polloi all day Saturday.  I might try to sneak in and get some free breakfast.

I thought you were hoi polloi.

Your face is hoi polloi.

Wanna fight?

Quite possibly just me, but I think this trend has gone too far.

 What happened to losing teeth in the mud, drinking from a leaky water hose, running in the heat until you puked in a bucket, piling reeking practice gear in the corner of a shower, getting taped up on the tailgate of a truck, watching film on benches in a locker room that reeked of sweat, dirt, and grass?

We had creaky school buses with no AC.  We weren’t cavemen. 

Im not talking just football honestly.   My daughter’s dorm room as a freshman was nicer than anyplace I’d lived for most of my life.  Obscene largesse. Both my kids drove nicer cars than I did for the majority of my life. 

It’s my opinion we are fucking up. Work ethic in the younger generation is basically zero.  They want rewards they haven’t earned.  This complex isn’t the problem, it’s just a symptom of a much broader issue.

They’ll never understand until they face that adversity. Most of them will fail because they are not prepared.

so you're part of the problem or the solution.  we can't go backwards. that is dumb.

you can make for the best.  it's all for us to do so...it's what we strive for whether it be work, family or yourself.

you can instill values, hardwork, ethics...that hasn't changed.  it is the commitment or desire that has changed.  that's the problem.

Do you believe in work....hard work?

We either go back or we will be forced to go back.

Can you REALLY instill all those things when, for instance, an 18-year old kid has a $91 million athletic center at his disposal that offers free haircuts, PS5 on a 50-foot screen, etc.?  Can you REALLY instill all thos  when a 16-year old girl (whose mom works at Wal Mart) in your neighborhood gets a brand new BMW SUV for her birthday -- and promptly turns it over in a ditch? 

It's a good theory and I've tried.  My kids work, have worked.  But they're not the norm.

I’m assuming that you agree since you would share a link.

I know that we have not agreed about much through the years but I do agree with ending the program. Enough is enough.

You do realize that these guys were in the band room, right?

i believe hard work was stated and implied.

you most certainly can do so …it’s the commitment. a desire.  a willingness. 

some of those athletes that walk through those doors get it.  others won’t.  it works in a circle   

you’re smarter than most certainly you aren’t naive to think the generation before you didn’t see the same of your generation.  christ man they walked through 10 feet of snow during the winter in southeastern Alabama.

Get out of my shoe rack....

you strike me as the camo type maybe the ones lines with faux fur. right?
