The beginning of a football season is always an unusual time of the year for me. 1 look forward to the games, the bid for the SEC title, and a chance to get a bowl game. But sometimes 1 dread those long, hot practices, the running we have to do. the oneon-onc drills, and, I guess, about a million more things. But after a game, and l‘m talking about a winning game, or after the season is over, I actually miss the tons of work we went through to make our season a successful one. Sure we go through hell in those spring practices, but if for one minute I didn’t think it was worth it I'd quit. Let's face it, I just love football. On the first day of practice you can usually tell the people who arc going to have the best chance of making the team. They’re the ones who arc always at the beginning of the line to do the windsprints, or the first ones to volunteer to participate in some kind of drill. In other words, they are the ones with the most desire. The only way you are going to impress your coach is to be as gung-ho as possible, even if it kills you. Pride, and a great deal of it, is what you need if you’re going to make a good football team like ours. BEHIND THE BATTLE LINES ... When I came up this year 1 was listed as a fourth string guard, and I just made up my mind that I wasn't going to be red-shirted. Two of the three men ahead of me were cut or dropped down because of injuries, and that left just Don Denbo, and me. Don is a good player, and I guess he deserved to be ahead of me. During practice Don was injured for about a week and that moved me up. I got a lot of valuable work with the first string while Denbo was out. Then I injured my thigh, and Denbo came back in to stay. It would be an understatement to say injuries weed out a team better than any other thing. That’s why it pays to be in good shape when you report to practice ... good shape mentally as well as physically. Chattanooga was our first game this year. Coming into that game wc weren't sure what we had. We knew our defense was sound, but wc weren’t sure about our offense. Well, we won 31-0, and I wasn’t happy with my performance. I played about half the game as Coach Dickey alternated me with Denbo. But in comparison with the other teams, Chattanooga wasn’t really that tough of a test for us. The Chattanooga game felt especially good though because there's nothing like starting off the season in a winning way. But, when one game is over you can’t take time to think about it. You just have to go on to the next game. There is plenty of time to look back on the games when the season is over. Wc next played Auburn, and needless to say we wanted this game, if for no other reason than to get even with them for beating us last year. In prepara- tion for this game (and any other game for that matter) wc have a definite schedule to follow during the week. Monday and Thursday we work out in sweats and Tuesday 3nd Wednesday axe what wc call our stinger days because we suit up for these practices and knock heads. On Monday we more or less
