D O.C........ Sorry I fail to see the comparison. Are you saying a defender grabs an offensive guy and pulls him to the ground nowhere near where the td is about to be scored?  If so, he should be penalized.

[hatchet molly]

Let's play a game! 25 yards back field you step in front of the defender to fundamentally follow through keeping between opponent and ball; simply block their view of the TD . You are grabbed by the shoulder jersey and sent to the ground. Legal? Unsportsmanlike? Would you risk that happening again?

Oh yes, please send me a personal message of your opinion of a good playing weight for Qb this season.

As a former football official, it's considered a personal foul. It's also a dead ball foul and would be penalized either on the extra point or on the kickoff. Depending on the severity, an ejection could be warranted.

20 yard equalizers?  Sheesh.  Gettin soft!  Heck, the 10 y.o. team I coach does 3 30 yarders after practice.  Don't forget the exercise stations for when you are not running.  Pushups, situps, updowns, leg lifts....

Speaking of brutal conditioning - RFB do you remember County Fair and Cobbler Runs?  Not to mention HORNS...We don't make the kids do horns....YET

Dawgs57,

Been awhile since we have seen you around. How's life out in Colorado? Of course I remember the various forms of conditioning torture the Redlands coaches are fond of using.

Quick story, Fall camp 1994. End of a very long morning session practice. Coach Maynard is pissed because one of the Seniors missed a team meeting. So he decides to punish the Seniors only in conditioning. The underclassmen are sent to the sideline to watch. The Seniors start by running 100's. The underclassmen then rally and run onto the field and join the Seniors in solidarity. Not only does Coach Maynard make us run 15 100's but it is then follwed up with four equalizers. We make it through the last equalizer and we are dead. We all think we are done, but little do we know a point is going to get made today. We are then screamed at to make a 130 person circle. Yep, here come the down-ups or up-downs. At about twenty you think you're just about done, but now your counting/sound off is hitting 30, then 40, pretty soon you're at 60. Your praying that at 70 Coach Maynard will call off the dogs. Nope, we go past 70, then 80 and 90, and at 100 he brings everyone in. That is off couse the ones who were still alive and breathing at this point. The point is you new and in-coming Dawgs. Don't be late for anything and whatever you do don't piss off Coach Maynard. Man, I miss those days!

Colorado is treatin me well - been unseasonably humid for my tastes...45% sucks.  I'm spoiled.

I was on campus in June for a wedding - ridiculously hot.  But the campus sure is nice.  I missed it.  I've been lurking on the board every so often - but lots of life changes have made it difficult to come around.  Hopefully I will post a little more. 

That story about Maynard sounds about right - we got a glimpse of it my Sr. year in 01.  We were what the announcers call "An Undisciplined Team"  We won games, but with lots of penalties - lots of late hits etc.  I can remember Maynard being frustrated that we were not putting teams away like we were capable of and giving us a speech about how "This racehorse is going to run, one way or another.  You have to decide if you are the kind of racehorse that gets massaged to run, or beaten to run.  Either way, we will get it out of you."  After that he instituted a policy that for every yard in penalties the team had in the game, the following tuesday night BEFORE practice, we had to run a 40.  This was in addition to the 5 50 yard equalizers.  I think the first week it was something like 45 and it got progressively higher.  I don't remember the sequence of the schedule, but one game (which we won) we had 140 yards in penalties.  Seniors lobbied to spread the sprints out over the week, and he agreed.  We went out the next game and lost to CMS.

It's no wonder I started the year @ 260 and finished @ 230.  That was pain.  I can remember what kept running through my mind - "No pain, Rock!" and "He's just a man, Rock!"  If you can make it through that stuff - the rest is nothing.

Did you guys do the pool workouts?  Treading water holding a chair over your head?  I heard all kinds of stuff about that.

[dawgs57]

To RFB's point about being on time - "Bulldog Time" is not something to smile or laugh at.  If you're on time, you're late.  My recommendation is "Double Bulldog Time" - ten minutes early to each meeting, etc.

Painted on a wall of my high school locker room:

To be early is to be on time
To be on time is to be late
To be late is to be forgotten

[snoop dawg]

Dawgs....the 20 yds was just used as an example, my son says the equalizers  are killers, I dont know how long they are.  Nice to see ya back, we can use all the support possible.

GO BULLDOGS

Yep, pool practice was on Sunday's from 4:00-5:30 followed by team film. They were tough but very good on the body after a tough, bruising Saturday game.

To be early is to be on time
To be on time is to be late
To be late is to be forgotten

That ranks right in there with "giving 110%" and turning it up to 11 on your amp, doesn't it?   8)

[CarloRossiLep]

"Spinal Tap" is a good movie and

"To be early is to be on time
To be on time is to be late
To be late is to be forgotten"

is a great way to reach 18 year olds

and

"giving 110%"

is a excellent way to make math majors mad  !

According to the N.Y. Giants website, Oxy's Cory Ohnesorge had a respectable outing in his first preseason games, in which the Giants lost to the Panthers,24-21.  Here are punting stats:

Feagles:  2 punts, averaged 29.0 yds, 1 inside the 20, longest was 33 yards
Ohnesorge:  5 punts, averaged 43.2 yards, none inside the 20, longest was 45 yards.

Wow, 5 punts, averaging 43.2, with a longest of 45?  What do you think?  Does the word "consistency" come to mind?

I'd say not a bad beginning at all!

GO CORY!
IO TRIUMPHE!

[Sabretooth Tiger]

Our other left coast boy, Whitworth Pirate grad Michael Allan appears to have had one reception for a gain of 18 yards in KC's preseason match. 

Well done.

OB,
  You forgot to mention the full figured backup QB.   
 

The crowd favorite is always the backup quarterback, and that is Jared Lorenzen, the 285-pound "Hefty Lefty" — strong-armed and meaty in the middle.

He's sure to be a favorite here, too.
