Sorry, man. You seem to not put a lot of value in words - which is a fine opinion. But it's not true for everyone and I'd imagine it's an important part of staff/player interaction...

Lol Babers had enough of the BS questions and peaced out...

God damn I love Dino. What a coach.

I love this line. I've started to use it. It was great explaining what hit meant to a bunch of 7th graders but they get it.

What was asked at the end that made him want to peace out? I couldnt hear what he was saying.

They kept asking about captains and scholarships remaining and just kept rewording the question trying to make him answer differently, bringing up the way the old staff would do things.

Anyone know why the players dont wear those pads on their helmets like they did during last year's camp? Coach's decision?

Stephen Bailey ‏@Stephen_Bailey1
Babers: Syracuse freshman Moe Neal is still practicing in team periods exclusively at RB. Works w/ WRs to improve hands.

Syracuse CB Wayne Morgan was carted off w/ ice pack on arm. LB Shyheim Cullen and S Rodney Williams in street clothes after practice.

Babers didn't provide specifics on any of the injuries.

Babers will make decisions on captains if they have them. Seemed irked when asked about the process in reference to Shafer's voting system.

I think the clever word play would wear on me after awhile.[/QUOTE

You would live with it or you'd spend your college career on the pine.

Assume so.

Boxers quit the head gear too.

Why Olympic Boxers Aren’t Wearing Headgear Anymore

Of course, I'm just pointing out that at the beginning it might be charming and inspirational. Eventually players might tune out or roll their eyes. I don't think it's a big deal either way. There are certainly examples of both colorful coaches and boring coaches being successful.

Perhaps Babers wanted actual data to support their effectiveness rather than accepting a sales pitch.

the tune it out roll the eyes kids will probably end up finding themselves on the bench and then gone. not because they rolled their eyes but because it's indicative of them having a bad attitude.

I roll my eyes (at least internally) all the time when my boss uses silly metaphors as if we are too stupid to understand simple concepts without them. I still respect and work very hard for her.

The ego thing looked weird without the context. Seeing the whole fire up speech, it makes a lot more sense. That was more about go than ego.

I like the urgency so early in preseason practice. Coach Babers understands something special is required to turn this program around.

Talk is cheap but I like what I am hearing.

Am wondering who will end up Captains. Think it has to do most about who buys in early and leads by example regarding Dino's principles. Maybe Estime/Franklin? who knows.
