Are You Serious??

This looks like something that belongs at The Valley or Greenwood High School. What is this guy doing, he looks bigger than some of the lineman in the SEC. He went all out with the gloves and knee braces. I would have loved to see what he looked like in full pads head to toe. This is one of the more interesting stunts I have ever heard of coaches pulling.




(ClarionLedger) STARKVILLE — After a one day absence, Mississippi State coach Sylvester Croom returned to practice this morning.
He did so with quite a bit of fanfare.Through the first practice period, Croom was not present, and it appeared he was going to miss another session.He said he did not attend either of the team's two practices on Tuesday because of a dental emergency. But five minutes into the second period, Croom's assistant Brad Pendergrass drove a golf cart onto the middle of the practice field, as players stopped and watched. From the back of the cart jumped a "player" wearing a red cross jersey signifying an injury, shoulder pads and a helmet.Turns out, it was Croom. "Just like all the other players, if you miss practice, you have to wear a red cross jersey," Croom said. "I was surprised that I was able to get out there in drills so long without someone knowing who I was."Practice paused for a few minutes as players could not stop pointing, laughing, and head-butting their coach."Get your mouthpiece in coach!" one player yelled."Buckle your chin strap!" said another.After 20 minutes of running from station to station in uniform and even participating in some drills, Croom took off his garb and coached the rest of practice."That was the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life," senior receiver Omarr Conner said. "Hilarious."
