So you have an IPF for football and an Indoor Track for T&F. Those are two separate things.
Nah, the track side is modular. It's dual-use whereas the football-only side isn't.
At any rate, despite having two, Sumlin doesn't use either. The track side is used for track meets and never converted or used for walkthroughs or drills and the football-only side isn't used either. Sumlin's whole philosophy toward the game of football is tempo. Practice is the same way. The pace of practice is fast, fast, fast and he wants it in the heat so we are used to it and can achieve the same tempo in games without cracking. Hanging out in the AC is anathema to what we're trying to accomplish. I wish we could tear it down, because it's ugly and looks insanely cheap, but it's probably a good recruiting tool.

Do you A&M guys think schools are using these because its too hot? I've seen quite a few of you respond with this statement.
I can't speak for the rest of the SEC but Arkansas only uses ours when it is raining and even then they don't use it every time it rains. They practiced outside this week in a downpour to prepare for any bad weather games.
They never use the IPF because it is too hot or cold outside.
