Prompt for today:    Have you ever been to see an NFL training camp? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As promised yesterday., the entry from back then.  I didn\u2019t write a ton about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to do when you\u2019re bored<\/strong> – 8\/9\/2002<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Me? Oh, I drove six hours one-way to watch a 45 minute football practice, then drove home. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Went up to Carlisle to see Redskins training camp. It was really fucking surreal to be back in Carlisle. I guess seven years is a long time, but….<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It might be that already, everything from that year is sort of a blur. You go someplace for just one year, and things don\u2019t seem to fit together after awhile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biggest thing I\u2019ll remember about Carlisle is my waist size. Ain\u2019t gettin\u2019 into those pants anytime soon….<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My hip seriously hurts after the trip.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

What do I remember the most? Meeting Danny Wuerffel and Shane Matthews. Seeing the punters try to land punts right between the \u201c1,\u201d and the \u201c0\u201d on the ten-yard line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lot of it was really running through the speed of the vaunted \u201cFun \u2018n Gun\u201d offense. I didn\u2019t see the morning practice where they taped their #1 pick, Patrick Ramsey, to the goal post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe that had the potential to be a good team. Marvin Lewis, now of Bengals\u2019 fame, was the Assistant Head Coach. While Spurrier had made his name in college, he\u2019d played (niners, Bucs), and coached (Tampa Bay Bandits) in the pros previously. Watching the offense, I was able to pick out the difference between the passing progressions and anything I\u2019d done before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, what for tomorrow. Actually, it\u2019s a bit of a cop-out, but I\u2019m going to write about water. From General Jack D. Ripper in Dr. Strangelove<\/em> to the covered roadway I saw on the way to work this morning. What are the most clear memories you have of water?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
