So 4 guys out of about 100 players can’t go. As long as their name is not Moss or Branch SC might be able to manage

Scooter,
Where is the mental state of the team for the season? Are they energized and ready to go or are they just going to go through the motions? We will see.

Well PT, if you are a college football player, whether you have the requisite talent or not, these young men put out, want badly to win, and with LSU and Michigan to start the year I think I would be beside myself with excitement

Sparrow,
I think every year the men are very excited to play when starting the season. But as the season wears on them and depending on the record, some of them will check out if they are losing and others will continue to play. It is Riley’s job to ensure that each player is playing at their best each and every practice and for each game.

Good commentary from Carrot about including in your football culture, a lot of ‘joy.’ Carrot certainly had it with his open practices, celebrities showing up, and his players ‘jacked’ every day
