BarneySox2007 Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 The main issue at hand right now is to get BoJangles to sponsor the buy one chicken tender meal and get the second free again on the back of the season tickets. The football will take care of itself because it's in good hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know of any three sport athletes at this time but a few years ago, Christian Markham played football, basketball & baseball. Lots of current football players are also on the wrestling team, basketball team, baseball team or track team.

I have never understood why a high school football coach would not have a requirement that all players participate in track & field if not playing baseball or soccer.

Many moons ago when I was in high school at Maryville, Benny Monroe (the offensive coordinator) would make all of the running backs (who didn't play basketball) wrestle.

As an old fart that has been around high school & college athletics much too long I have the following opinion: football in the Fall, all football players that do not play basketball must wrestle. What you do is strength train before school, during school or even before wrestling practice and then go into the wrestling room. Wrestling helps the skilled position players with learning how to fight and how to tackle someone to the ground without assistance. The linemen learn to move their feet and hands at the same time while also gaining much needed leverage experience. When on the wrestling mat you are alone and cannot hide like you can in a team sport. Wrestling is truly a life skill that is much more valuable than football. Track & field is much the same in that the skilled players learn running technique and the linemen do a little running while working on the throwing events. Throwing is much like wrestling in that there is a lot of technique involved. Everyone wants to specialize and focus on one sport where the truth is only a select few will ever experience playing any sport at the college level.
