Two Spring Trainings

[donovan]

George Carlin.....(Not sure where I have been)

“Baseball is played in a park - a baseball park.
Football is played in a stadium - often called Soldier's Field or War Memorial Stadium.
Baseball begins in the spring, the season of new life.
Football begins in the fall, when everything is dying.
Football is concerned with downs. "What down is it?"
Baseball is concerned with ups. "I'm not up. Is he up? You're up!"
In football, you receive a penalty.
In baseball, you make an error. Oops!
In football, the specialist comes in to kick something.
In baseball, the specialist comes in to relieve someone.
Football has hitting, clipping, piling on, spearing, personal fouls and unnecessary roughness.
Baseball has the sacrifice.
In football the objective is for the quarterback, sometimes called the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense, hitting his receivers with deadly accuracy, in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use the shotgun, with short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial attack with a sustained ground attack, which punches holes in the front line of the defense.
In baseball the objective is to go home and be safe.â€

Great points Donovan! I would say all of these make football a better sport. The bands and the cheerleaders make it cooler!

I like George Carlin. That is one of the few Carlin routines that you can actually print here.

I see where you lost a coach and he coming to Nebaska.
Should be here for spring practice.

Yeah, Joe Rudolph is going to Nebraska to coach tightends. I don't know lots about him. He played at Wisconsin and worked as a grad asst. here for a couple of years before becoming the S&C coach. The players liked him and I never heard anything bad about him, but he really wasn't here long enough to know much about him. He did play for Alvarez and if any of his influence rubbed off he will probably be a good coach.
