A recent theme this time of year has been the importance of the 15 days of practice bowl teams get to prepare for their game. That these extra two weeks are unbelievably important to the future of the program, or at least that is what we hear from the head coaches of 6-6 teams trying to justify a post-season appearance.
But if that is true, why don't all programs get December practice time? After all, who needs extra practice time more than the teams who did not make a bowl game? Shouldn't Washington State get to improve in December as much as Oregon? It is like the draft order of professional leagues being reversed with the best teams picking highest. Give the Cougars some extra practice time!
I also am tired of hearing about practice before bowl games being so important to the teams next year team. My Maryland Terps had a good year even without practice last year. Then they got the coach fired. How come.
ReplyDeleteThe situation in College Park is crazy. I was going to address it when they hired a new coach, but perhaps will do so when they play tomorrow.
