I never have been a fan of using a PE class for football practice year round since I was a PE teacher and trained as such, to provide a well rounded recreation foundation for those who were in class. How do they grade it, or is that one of those courses they use to get their football players elligible? But hey, it's Texas, and football is more important than education there or the teachers would be paid better than the football coaches, right. Does anyone know what Kansas athletes are doing after school since we can't start practice until Monday. I long for the days of practice all week from 6:30 to 9:30, then squad meetings till 11. Then back at it at six. A week of two a days, then school starts instead of starting practice the second week of school, going three weeks without a game, where is the tradition here anyway?

That's a ton of padded spring practices in Texas, and I love how they substitute a PE class with football year-round so that quarterbacks can hook up with receivers. Pretty slick if you ask me, but I'm a football nut. Shoot, I figured Fballfn would be all over this one by now.
