Heard Coach Howland say yesterday at lunch that he wanted a new floor in the hump. Said the old floor was over 20 years old and was very hard with no give. He thought this was a major factor with our ongoing injury problems. The new floors have more give.
New floor it is. Cut the check.
My thought exactly.Quote:

That's what I was thinking, although I'm sure the practice floor is of the "new" variety.Quote:

I remember asking LT when they replaced the floor the last time why it was necessary as I flat didn't know why. He said being old it stretches and harder to put together and take down.
They practice on the Hump's floor a lot as well which may be the floor that the injuries are happening on.Quote:
