When does Fall camp start?

[orangenauburn]

Do we have a preseason agenda and schedule yet?

 

[Sdot]

I think it’s exactly 4 weeks from whenever your first game is so it would be august 3rd?

Fran mentioned in the video visiting the longest season ticket holder that the first practice is August 1st

I understand the team reports and has meetings on Tuesday and the first practice will be Wednesday.

It will be interesting to see how much access the media will have.


Go Orange!

When I watched SU football practices during the Ernie Davis era and beyond, practices were called “ football practice.” Now, football practice is called football “camp.” Why?

The Boy and Girl Scouts go to camps. Soldiers live and train in camps. They live in camps during wartime. I’ve been to hunting and fishing camps. Mountain men camped out. My family once owned a camp on a lake.

When I go camping I bring a tent, cook my food on an open fire that I build, and when needed, I piss with my back to the wind. When I go camping, I am not practicing. I am camping.

So, at football camp? Are the players camping? Or are they practicing?

There are a lot of smart people who frequent this forum. Perhaps one of you can provide me with an answer as to why football practices are now called football camps.

I can’t wait to see what kind of responses I’ll receive.

Yes, I still have a flip phone.

Camping is for preseason, the team camps together before school starts. Once school starts the team breaks camp.

How does Gadsden look in return from injury? ‘A bigger version of what you saw’

Tight ends coach Michael Johnson said Gadsden is moving just as well as he did during his breakout season in 2022 following a season-ending injury last year.

This article mentions the first practice of training camp being Thursday.

I want to blame it on baseball. But that's "spring training", isn't it?

So I looked it up, and it looks like it's military in origin, specifically around the time of WWI.

I think you are confusing preseason training camp and pre game practices.
I found a reference to training camp from a 1958 article, so it is not a new term.

Fran mentioned in the video visiting the longest season ticket holder that the first practice is August 1st

When Coach Brown visited Tarky Lombardi he stated that camp started 7/31.

Tarky says “I can’t wait for August 31st” Coach then says “I can’t wait for July 31st. First practice is the 1st”.

 

[Chip]

Practice starts the day before syracuse.com writes something about practice having started.

 

[CuseLegacy]

Coach Brown will hold a Press Conference tomorrow, 7/31/24, at 11am.

First day of practice is 8/1. Open to the media with interviews of select players and coaching staff.

Camp?

In the NFL when summer camp opens most teams sequestered the entire team away from their normal surroundings and their normal distractions. Players live together, eat together and work together with a singular focus of getting better and getting ready for the season. Family men are away from their families and with their team.

This year at Syracuse "camp" is going to be different than in recent years.

• All of the players will be living in the dorms or apartments on South Campus. Many older players live off campus in houses or apartments. For camp, they will be living, eating and working with their teammates.
• Players who have cars must turn their keys in to the coaches. Players will be walking back and forth between the facility and their dorms.
• No one will be allowed to leave camp until after the scrimmage on the 10th.

Total focus!

There will be three scrimmages; the 10th, 17th and 24th.

What is the meaning of camp in football?

In the National Football League, training camp refers to the time before the season commences. During this time, teams sometimes congregate at an outside location, usually a university, to conduct training camp for at least the first few weeks.

A traditional fall training camp with padded practices would start the first week in August, 29 days before a team's first contest. AUGUST 2

YA got me - I have no idea - for me they should be called what they are preseason practice.

I watched her give out 70 or so of those things and have no idea what is in the baggies she's handing out.

Fill me in please?

They’re smores



Because they’re at “camp”

They’re smores

It's so obvious once you know. The first guy even goes "Cool, s'mores"

Too bad I didn't turn the audio on for about 10 seconds after starting the video.

Yeah, I am not made of the stuff needed to be part of Fran Brown's program this year.

That sounds like Hell.
