all i know is my office is 10 minutes south of coral gables and its raining and thundering. why are they having practice in the afternoon if they want to avoid thunderstorms.

Was wondering the same thing.

Rain in the afternoons down here is not a new phenomenon.



Proves the fact that we need an INDOOR facility...

These guys need to go play baseball if they cant handle some water

There's "handling water" vs improving the quality of practice.

What kind of work can be done during a torrential downpour?

Wouldn't you want them to be able to get done all that they have on their schedule or do you think it's better to be the best practiced "wet conditions" team in the nation?

The same work that was done for however many years before indoor facilities came along. How did they ever practice without them? And there is a obvious benefit of being familiar and comfortable in playing in your own weather. I just feel like this is the attitude thats forcing football to essentially become flag football. Football is soft now, just nut up and play through the rain for a few practices. Its not like teams who play in the rain win less games or something.

That man's play is the difference between 7 and 10+ wins, and a top 20 class or a top 10 class. He ends up being the real deal, our defense holds, and we win, and we are ready to take the next step. I know it sounds like hyperbole but it really isn't.

Is the amount and quality of work not diminished when practicing in pouring rain, with a wet ball and on a wet field as opposed to when practicing in dry conditions? IMO, and I think in most people's opinions, the answer is yes. So, if the answer is yes why wouldn't you do whatever is possible to put yourself in conditions that allow you to get the most work done? It has nothing to do with being soft and everything to do with getting as much accomplished as possible..

Looks like Walter Tucker is wearing No. 4 and working with the LBs. Was a FB last year. Came in as a LB.
 
Too many question marks at qb, dl, lb, and OL. I cannot allow myself to go full in. My heart won't take it.
