Word is the first couple of days have been rough.

The intensity is off the charts which brings lot of cramps and lots of puking.  Even managers have passed out.  Did a player need medical treatment for heat exhaustion?

Players aren't getting back to their dorms/apartment until 10pm following a 20–30-minute walk.   The UV apartments where most young players live during their first couple of years in the program have good air conditioning, but the apartments on south campus don't have AC or the AC is garbage.  Players are hot, tired and hungry at 10pm.  Players are calling coaches at the end of the day and requesting fans and food. Anyone with teenagers knows three or even four meals aren't enough.  Imagine being 6'5", 330 lbs. working your tail off only to go back to hot apartment and an empty refrigerator.

I'm hearing some guys are starting to drag like zombies.   The humidity is kicking their tails.  And the humidity tomorrow will be ugly.   Full pads tomorrow?

Word is the nutritionist is keeping a close eye on guys.

I hope players are getting weighed twice a day, once at breakfast and once at the end of the day.

What's the price of success?
