Nico steps on the "T"

[BruisedOrange]

Almost every school/university does this... Alabama don't step on the "A"... Georgia don't step on the "G". For example, but alot of schools do this..

At Alabama, the rule also serves as a literacy test.

1963. Never again. I agree with the sentiment. It’s horrifyingly painful when the President of the United States is assassinated. Still, todays student athletes have no living memories of November 22, 1963. There are better motivations for a locker room or football complex.

Edit: Corrected the date. Should have read it before posting. As for the reference to “63,” that was brought up in an earlier post.

That ain’t the right way to do push ups

Yep. That back ain’t straight. Coach H will fix that.

 

[GTBATV]

I hope he keeps doing those push ups and gets "all kinds of gains".

 

[northknoxvol]

I wonder if they make a high profile recruit on a visit do them if they accidently step on it?

More like a phonemic awareness lesson.............

Not sure what this is in response to, but I believe you're thinking of November 22, 1963. No, I didn't have to look it up.

They need to hook up Nico to a 24/7 continuous protein shake IV.

November 10, 1963??? The day Gordie Howe broke the scoring record? What does that have to do with this or President Kennedy?

I’m trying really hard to figure out where this came from. Out of left field.

 

[FBtime]

Man, that locker room needs some work!

TF are you talking about. It's up there with the best in the conference/country.

I get the quirky traditions ALL schools have, but am I the only one who thinks having a power T on the floor you're not supposed to step on, is pretty stupid lol.

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

I feel like this is a dumb tradition that Butch started.

Yeah, it's right in the middle of the room. It's about the dumbest tradition anyone could think of.

 

[Zues1]

Was it the first day...the first day..the first day...yeeeah.
PS, that's was some lame pushups.

The Atlanta Falcons have the same thing in their locker room. Most teams do.

There’s nothing dumb about it

Glad Niko took his licks like a man.

It's silly and ridiculous. Surprised Heupel hasn't gotten rid of this stupidity yet.

Heupel cares about tradition

That’s enough for me

 

[DocVol]

I’m disgusted.

Hahaha, I thought the same thing....the next thought " I don't care if his pushups look horrible, as long as he can sling the ball "accurate". But yeah, they were lame. hehehehehe

It's not that big of a deal to not step on it. It's also not that big of a deal to do 10 push ups if you do. It's a tradition and to blatantly ignore it is a slap in the face to the university and the team.
