615,

You know you're my boy, but I had to do this. I mean seriously WTF is going on at your school.......

Tennessee Football Coach Gives Players Hygiene Lessons




by Glenn Davis | 12:54 pm, September 9th, 2010

Head football coaches are infamous control freaks, and especially at the college level, where you’re dealing with upwards of 100 young guys, it’s understandable. And sometimes, those young guys need some instruction in areas that might sound a little strange. And that’s how Derek Dooley, first-year head man at the University of Tennessee, found himself teaching his players how to shower properly.

Apparently, some team members recently fell victim to staph infections, and Dooley decided it was time to do something about it. He said this season’s Vols had “the worst shower discipline of any team [he'd] ever been around,” and well, um, no comment.

But we will comment on Dooley’s explanation of what exactly the team did:

We did a clinic yesterday on proper shower technique and soap and using a rag. We put some new rags in. Y’all think I’m kidding, but I’m serious…we talked a little bit about application of soap to the rag and making sure you hit all your body. You know, you can neglect it trying to cut corners, and it shows in how you practice and elsewhere. I’m hoping we show some improvement in that.”

And our comment is this: unlike the time Dooley tried to reward certain reporters by granting them practice access over others he didn’t like as much, the shower lesson is actually a good idea. The devil is truly in the details, and no less a coach than John Wooden gave players guidance on how to put on shoes and socks.

Plus: again, college teams have massive rosters, leading to at least 100 guys sharing – no matter how extravagantly booster-funded – a relatively small space. That’s an ideal environment for pathogens to spread, and it’s worth making every effort to prevent…no matter how funny it might sound at first.

New season finally getting started. Hope my Jaguars play better today than Milan did yesterday. Come on guys, at least help me recover some of my weekend.

The Jags are tied 7-7 against Denver just after the half.

hahaha we thought that was just as funny/******** as you must have. the underground/student newspaper had a "Dooley's Shower Tutorial" page in the latest issue.

@ 615 :D

hey 615...

Why did Tennessee choose orange as their team color? ........You can wear it to the game on Saturday, hunting on Sunday and picking up trash along the highways the rest of the week.

Woohoo!!! My 'Noles are back!!! Though, a memo to Christian Ponder...Stop turning the damn ball over!

Also Saints o-line, see what happens when you protect Brees, great things happen. Try doing dat for the rest of the season!

@6 - A little sympathy from me, but my family & some of my friends are heavy duty 'Bama fans. Needless to say they're looking forward to making things very rocky for you 'teers.

I'm impressed. About the only interesting video on American "football" I've ever seen.

The kick to the head is what did it for him though ;)

They've been showing the NFL where I live lately and I've seen 5-6 games and fallen in love with the sport. The intensity, roughness, tactics, brilliance. I love it!!

From now I'm going to try and respect it when americans call football "soccer" :D

But seriously, why call it football? The only times they use their feet is when they start of the play and score field goals. You should call it Runball or something...

expect more n00b questions from me in the future.

edit: I'm watching Chicago vs Minisota right now.

Hey Lisa :D how is it going :p

A bit disappointed, but can't complain. Wasn't meant to be a back to back season, too many injuries...oh well, we'll be back next season.
I've been a Saints fan for 30 years, so I very well remember how things used to be. We used to dream about finishing .500 for the season. D:
So nothing to complain about.
