Saturday...
So what's a typical Saturday like for the defending City champs?
Not counting the late Friday night which always tends to stretch into the early morning hours of Saturday, It starts about 9 a.m. The coaches meet the players at 10 to watch the game tape from the previous night. The coaches have already watched and analyzed the tape, late Friday night.
After tape, everyone gets a lift in, just to help work out the soreness from the night before.
Around noon, the coaches all head over to defensive coordinator Jim Rose's house. It's a bachelor pad of the highest order, with big-screen TVs in each room and tons of comfortable couches and bean bag chairs. For the next six to 10 hours, the coaches break down film on next week's opponents. Offense in one room, defense in the other. Each game tape is watched about 2-3 times, then charted.
Later, game plans and schemes are developed to present to the players on Monday.
