I pretty much live on scout team for at least the rest of this year for ba, and it makes me a much better player. When I go against our starters it prepares me very well for JV and the varsity games i get into. It also should prepare for when/if i ever get to start or see significant meaningful PT. It also gives you a chance to help the team get better, it's win-win ( except when you get killed ). Some of my non- football friends will sarcastically say " nice playing firday " or something like that but you know in your mind you've helped your team, and your day will come.
