Captain Sasquatch;n144055 said:Yeah cause he was the first coach in history to do that.
GatorInGeorgia;n144065 said:Really??? You know of other coaches prior to Muschamp who closed 90+% of all spring practices to the fans for 3 straight years and the vast majority of fall practices, too??? Do tell, this should be a doozy from the all knowing Squatch. By the way, how did all that secrecy work out for our program???
That's what I was thinking. Meyer closed practices when here, didn't he?Swamp Queen;n144031 said:I wonder how much of this plays into all coaches minds these days. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=5446205

Only after the infamous azzhole Jeremy Fowler baited a very young wide receiver into untoward comments about now having a "real" quarterback to throw the football after Tebow graduated. Urbie went ballistic about Fowler publically and it was the beginning of the end of the Meyer era. Fowler was eventually banished to the frozen hinterlands of northern Minnesota and Urbie caught helicobacter pylori, among other issues and quit, twice.oxking;n144106 said:That's what I was thinking.

Captain Sasquatch;n144173 said:And why does it matter? Were you going to go to every practice? Have you ever been to one? They're boring as sh*t!

GatorInGeorgia;n144406 said:Thanks for the non-answer answer. As to why it matters, it's nice for the fans to be able to come out and support their school, team and the players. It helps build more support and unity around the program.
