Your right about that, ecspecially under Miles and the events this season. Family comes first, then school and football.
Sometimes I think that going home and hearing things like, "Come on dude./We are pulling for you./Make us proud./Good to see ya home./We are proud of you guys.", is better than practice. They have run every play time and time again. They know the audibles. Let them relax and enjoy the holidays. If one of them overdoes the "spirits" or the food, the coaches can run them until they get it "out of their system.":geauxtige
Wasn't it the Almighty who kicked himself after the Cotton Bowl and said he may have made the team practice too much? The only loss after that came in his final bowl apperance after a blown coverage and a holding no-call at the end of the Capital One Bowl to some team from the midwest. I think they deserve a break...
