No way players nowadays would get through a training like that without crying to the university or media. They're too soft.

However,the defense that season was fun to watch...just a bunch of undersized runts that seemed to swarm to the ball as if they all had radar. It's a beautiful thing to watch the growth of just about anything from year 1 to year 2. This is what has me so excited in year 2 of Grantham's system.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
