yup, just had our first today; yesterday and monday were rainouts. It was fun, but we have a couple new coaches so it was surprising to see their personality come out. Most everybody was WAY too pscyhed up though, we're running or cover 2 and 3 base call and people are runnin around freakin out, coaches gettin all crazy

it's the first day of spring, calm the f*ck down.

Haha yeah...I tried to keep it toned down, but I got a little irritated at some point. Some of us are just like that, I always tell my teammates "Don't take ANYTHING I say or do out on the field personally."

Coaches were pretty laid back, and we had a great tempo, so that was a plus.

i signed with Grand Valley, and strangely i was on this site asking for advice about boxing and cutting down and maintaining strength etc... a lot of ppl was hatin (which is appreciated) saying my stats we're false lol and i should b in the NFL with stats like that etc..., but a guy mentioned if i signed to Grand Valley he'd b impressed and at the time i was like who the hell is Grand Valley I'm from Cali lol. But yea i tripped out there and the coaching staff can verify my stats. Lookin forward to getting out there and establishing myself with the ppl and team, total new experience for me, don't know what to expect coming from where i am, the ppl are really coo' here in Tha Bay and i love the diversity, but anyway, good luck to everyone on there seasons go hard... Any Lakers or Laker fans get at me!!!

Nice stats man! Get those grades up...unfortunately when you get that DI scholly I gotta kick you outta the thread

**PowerBuilder08** · 03-28-2007, 05:32 PM

Wow...today was a rough day. We did our normal morning running hell, then followed it up with 50 down-ups meant to drain us of life, then we had practice at 6 tonight...long, rough, day. No more football outside of lifting until Sunday tho, so I finally get some damn time to breathe.

**PowerBuilder08** · 04-01-2007, 06:04 PM

How is everyone's spring practices going?

Ahhhh so jealous dude. I dont get the opprotunity to do spring ball. I live in Denver and at the end of this semester i am moving to phoenix to play for phoenix college. i am getting so sick of running stairs and just doing squat after squat after squat, i just want to hit someone lol

Haha...I know the feeling of just wanting season to get going

**stout92** · 05-23-2007, 12:10 PM

bringing up an old thread... I'm thinking about walking on to an NAIA school for football... I def. have the grades(3.75 GPA and 29 ACT), and I'm going to be a senior in HS in a couple months.

The school I go to produces several(5-7) juco players a year, and usually 1-2 D1 players also. I'm thinking about walking on as a fullback, although I've never played the position(played DL in 7th/8th grade, TE in 9th, WR in 10th, LB in 11th, and starting OL this upcoming year).

Currently, my stats are
5'9" 200 lbs
Bench-280
Squat-470
Clean-260
40-4.9 Vert-30"

I'm not exactly considered a star, but I am a starter at LG. What I lack in size I make up for by coming off the ball quickly, but I have trouble driving guys bigger than me off the ball. Instead I just try to make sure I'm in between my man and the ball carrier and try to stand my ground, even if I can't push them back. I'm also a big cut blocker on pass plays.

a 6'10" Mexican? Holy crap. The tallest I've seen is 6'6" but he had a pituatary gland problem.

Indiana Tech!!!

I was getting recruited by them and there was a good chance I was going to there to play ball this next year, but they dont really have the majors im interested in.

You're only a junior? If you are don't sell yourself short yet. You could get maybe an offer or preferred walk-on invite.

Feck, that is an INSANE schedule! Did you guys ever run into Wheaton? We played them and got murdered. I'd love to play Mount Union, just to say "Yes, I was with one of those teams who got murdered by those man-beasts"

**watchandsee23** · 06-05-2007, 09:29 AM

Where is Averrett? What high school did you go to?

**sh1p84** · 06-05-2007, 09:38 AM

Averett is about an hour up from Greensboro, NC, so we're on the border of VA and NC. I went to Beaufort High School, after that i went to Coastal Carolina University and played there for two years then transferred out.

I was going to say this one too, works well. How much rest do you take between and what percentage would you say you run them at?

**sh1p84** · 06-05-2007, 07:44 PM

Well, when we go back for summer camp, we have a run test to see if people been doing the work book. so we run 40'sx12(your forty time and add .5 to it and that's the time you have to make each one) and then we come back and run 110'sx8 in 15s for receivers/db/rb. its a killer!!

**watchandsee23** · 06-05-2007, 09:06 PM

75-85% 45 sec rest divided into 3 sets with 2min in between.
