How is nobody talking about the rock, paper, scissors battle session that Arnett held instead of normal practice routine this past week, because "he felt like the guys weren't having fun".
What the actual hell was that?
A few things....
1. Is rock, paper, scissors considered FUN to college kids now days?
2. We don't pay you to play rock, paper, scissors. You're paid to coach football
3. He is sounding extremely JoMo at the moment.
What happened?
Right before the game the crew was talking about how Arnett felt his team wasn't having fun, so instead of the normal practice routine one day this past week, he broke the team into offense and defense and had a rock paper scissors battle.Quote:

It's obvious the team was pressing and were in their heads. And I bet it was showing in practice. I've seen coaches do all sorts of crazy shit to break tension and loosen guys up. It's not like he could take them to The Pony and pick up 60 "slump busters" for the night.Quote:

They can play games outside of practice. But that's just the ramifications of looking like crap I guess.
If Rock, Paper, Scissors is pissing you off, just wait until they break out the karaoke machine and have everyone sing "I will survive " by Gloria Gaynor. That will get the boys focused for sure.Quote:

When they brought it up before the game I was like, well that was a waste of time and couldn?t possibly work. Sometimes you have to let the coach do something dumb like this to prove a point. The point being, all of these guys played football their entire lives. They are good at it. Get out of you head and just play.
Well playedQuote:

Yea ... I heard that last night and thought the same thing about JoMo.Quote:

Oh yeah the old slip n slide was a great drill for that! I remember Skip Bertman used to keep an old toilet in the dugout so players could ?flush? bad plays lol! It?s like crash davis told nuke laloosh, you have mold on your shower shoes. Win 20 in the show and you?re colorful but right now it just makes you a slob. Same principles.Quote:
