Mumme Ball
Lane Kiffin said USC's depth problems will eliminate live tackling for the rest of training camp except for two scrimmages that are scheduled. Nick Perry's ankle injury in a goal-line drill reinforced the idea.
But it's not too revolutionary an idea. Former Kentucky coach Hal Mumme never practiced in pads even during the regular season.
and we all remember those great teams...
???????? Seriously, if you don’t practice tackling skills during fall camp, how will they become instinct and second nature during the regular season games? It would seem that we can look forward to many missed and/or broken tackles all season long. ?????????????
SC just trying to give ucla "puins" an inch of a chance. Trojans should play the "puins" pad free each year. The same suggestion was made to 2 Time Convicted NCAA Cheating Head Football Coach "Slick" Rick Neuheisel and he strongly objected. Slick Rick said that the monthly menstrel cycles of his squat pissing shemales was much to heavy for them to not wear (maxi) pads....
How do NFL teams handle tackling during practices? When Kiffin started coaching the Raiders, I recall players complaining about practices being too intense.
I also remember Arkansas limiting contact for Felix Jones (I think) during summer practices to keep him healthy. When he finanlly experiences live tackling during their season opener (against USC), he fumbles several times.
I know Westwood Rob will back me up on this one, but former UCLA stud linebacker JaManfred Jackson used to play games without pads. A true BEAST!
datrout, you've just not been the same since your boy Baxter took his fall. HAHA, loser. Phonegate ON! or is it Weedgate ON? I guess either works.
UCLA Dynasty, that is true. At the game I went to in '94, the Bruins had a comfortble lead after QB Dustin Frode got taken out of the game, so late in the 4th quarter JaManfred Jackson threw off his pads and just went for it. Were you there also?
I think maybe they used to call that "barebacking". Maybe I should google that word to check.
That's it! The baby blue bruins must have been playing mumme ball in real games! All this time I thought they just sucked.
UCLA Dynasty, I see that your spelling has improved rapidly since you first began posting on this blog.
Perhaps too rapidly...
seems like limiting practice is rational and normal. unlike these trolls
Been away for a couple of days and, some things never chang, USC is still a joke-a-day!! truly the "laugh factory" of college football. LMAO
LMAO at the Bruin fans... For fans of a team the STILL DOES NOT have a QB - you gutty little bRuins sure are cocky... ...and the drunken, gamblin' coach, nueweasel thought the MONOPOLY WAS OVER... USC is on probation - the players are leavin' - and we'll still spank yer arse by 21! that just means 30 for the cryin' Irish... See you ladies on the field - don't bother responding because I don't care... smell you later losers... - PBP
Missed you NDLoser, were you over on Blue Smoke Trail, hiking?
