Reports from the scrimmage: conditioning was a factor

Relax. You know a scrimmage is a practice so it's going to be harder than a game. We will be fine

Most all of the reports stated that it was the heat and humidity. We've had very mild weather since the start of fall camp and that was probably the hottest and muggiest day they've experienced in full pads. You can run sprints all day long, but when you start popping the pads, there's still going to be an adjustment period.

This is even more true now that coaches can't put they're teams through as much contact preseason. I think it's why early season injuries have become more common, especially on the high school level.

You have to get conditioned for hitting just like you have to get conditioned for running.

But the PMDs* said (for a decade) that an ICAPB** was supposed to help us..


*Perpetually Miserable dogs
**Indoor Conditioned Air Practice Bubble

If you burn the IACPB down, how will players run on treadmills with scuba masks and sit in cryogenic deepe fereeze huts? Instead of getting used to the heat?

We'll worry about that later, when plotting second-degree arson there's really no time to ponder consequences.

Someone should post scrimmage stats. I've worked all weekend, couldn't follow stuff. I come here for UGA football info. I feel let down so far.

Also, why doesn't the team do conditioning drills in pads during the summer workouts?

Because Kirby is dumb and doesn't know how a football team works?

I was under the impression that it was SOP on the rant to call for the S&C coach's head and blame the HC when there was an indication that players were showing any signs of being tired. Has this changed?

Because the NCAA has rules governing when players can and can't be in pads, just like every other level of football.
