Football team sets goals, agenda for summer

Miles addresses QB situation

The LSU football season does not officially begin until Sept. 3 against North Texas in Tiger Stadium, but preparation for the fall began during spring practice in March. The team will continue to train throughout the summer for fall practice, which is scheduled to begin August 7.

The end of spring football meant the end of the players and positional coaches working together on the field until fall practice, but it did not mean the end of training.

The players will weight train and run throughout the summer under the supervision of the strength and conditioning coaches led by coach Tommy Moffit as well as practicing karate once a week.

During the Southeastern Conference football coaches press conference on April 25, LSU coach Les Miles said he discussed with the players their academic and physical goals for the summer in addition to what each player?s position coach sees as their direction.

?The point is to let them know that this is the time of year where champions are made,? Miles said. ?They must organize a calendar for their spring and summer that allows them to do well in the classroom as well as save time for the weight room and summer conditioning.?

While the players are preparing for the upcoming season, Miles and the coaching staff also have a full plate to go along with their everyday duties.

Michael Bonnette, sports information director, said the coaches will be recruiting and holding youth camps during the summer in addition to Miles taking part in a regional tour to speak to fans, while fulfilling commitments to the LSU Alumni Association and Tiger Athletic Foundation.

Now, if our guys could only develop "motors", they'd be coordinated, lethal killing machines.

You know, like the thugs at Tennessee, South Carolina, Miss. St., etc.

The karate thing has been around for a while now. Didn't DiNardo introduce this first, or am I giving him too much credit.

They should have the offensive and defensive linemen taking judo... I have a brown belt in judo and i can tell you that when I start coaching HS I will definately encourage my bigmen to take the class. Its all about balance and grip fighting, something that linemen need.

"Great expectations are there for people that really look to exceed expectations," Miles said. "If you want championships and if you want to play for the title, then it is good that the place you represent has exceedingly high expectations."

I LOVE THIS QUOTE!

Yea, so many coaches these days go into the season saying stuff like, "I think we'll be in good shape if we can at least three games, and really any bowl would just be icing on the cake."

And Tejas, you're right...a buddy at work set me straight on that one already!
