Anybody see that players walked out of the practice Wednesday to protest the rough practice conditions?

We drank from a water hose.

We had a pipe with poked holes in it hooked up to the water hose to get us all water.....when we were actually allowed a water break. I think we called it the trough, because the pipe spanned 2 saw horses and gave us all shared water. You were fricked if you asked for water between breaks unless you were hurt or the coach assigned to watch for death allowed it for you.

This is one reason I think football is doomed. It’s too damned hard for people accustomed to air conditioning and comfort. Folks ain’t gonna let their babies run the hill after two a days in July. Yes, July in the 70’s....and August. With weight training all day between and film study...actual film....after evening practice. From the week after July 4th through the third week of August. And we thought water would weaken you and took salt tablets to prevent cramps! The only reason more didn’t die is because we were acclimated to it....we played outdoors in that weather all day when we weren’t playing football because the house wasn’t air conditioned either....only mama and daddy’s room. It was cooler outside than indoors! Kids aren’t that hard any longer. It’s better for them but their coaches are old school who still ain’t convinced water makes you weak!

Obviously wait to see if there's any kind of egregious details that come out.
On the surface, sounds like a bunch of entitled prima-donnas who don't like hard coaching. Which, when you know the kind of culture that Grayson has fostered with all the transfers and self-promotion, is not surprising.

Exact same system for me, except I was in high school seven years ago.

in all my years, we weren't allowed water in jr high , nor high school --- but that was in the 1960's

If we wanted a drink we were labeled a pussy.

Funny you say that. My father played football around the same time.
Said you weren’t allowed water, if you were dehydrated all you got were salt tablets.

You got a water break?
During preseason (Two a-days) a couple of guys asked the coach if we could move practice up a couple of hours during the second session so players who wanted to could go to church on Wednesday. The coach moved the practice up two hours then finished practice at the normal time 4 hours later.

It's like halfway between Athens and Stone Mountain. Don't think I would call that area Metro.
They are also the #1 ranked team in AAAAAAA.

That’s plenty close enough to commute to the polluted office park maze.
So now it’s confirmed.
Transplants moved to ATL. Realized ATL is shithole, so moved a little further out to Grayson high area to commute back and forth. Then had foreigner transplant kids who grow up to protest like bitches.
And the cancer grows and grows...

I'm not goading you Jefferson but you bring up a good question, what exactly is defined as the "metro" area?
I always chuckle when I read an article like "so and so, located in the metro-Atlanta town of.." and it'll be somewhere like friggin loganville. It seems like the media labels anywhere that you can drive to within 1 hour from 285 as "metro Atlanta"
