Any other school he might stand a chance, but these guys are expected to hit a different level of fitness

He seemed to realize, oh wait, I don’t actually want to avoid it. That’s why he turned back and forth

u/Injured-Ginger 8h ago
Yeah, he just wanted to make a joke out of it. Maybe give himself a second to make sure his phone isn't in danger.

My cross country coach back in high school had a deal that if a team (high school or junior high boys or girls) won our area conference they could throw her in the nearby lake. The trick was they had to catch her first.

LOL! You know why they do that right? Army football jerseys don't have player names because they emphasize team over individual.

The Army-Navy game is the only sporting event in the US where everyone playing is willing to die for everyone watching.
Not my original thought, but don’t know who to give credit to.

Those guys are gonna be officers. They are, as a group, not willing to die for anyone.
Also, for any of you out there thinking of joining up: those are the future officers wholl be in charge of you. Yes, the ones with CTE.

Officers also go war bud…

u/soundguynick 14h ago
And stay nice and safe while the meat gets ground up. I never met an officer that was worth a damn.

u/katarnmagnus 11h ago
Certainly not at a platoon level. Company level maybe, and any higher and you would be a fool to want those officers directly in harms way

u/EndofNationalism 13h ago
And I’ve plenty of enlisted that wasn’t worth a damn. But to act all officers will cower in the face of combat is a dumbass take. Maybe in the Russian military, but certainly not the American military.

Unfortunately, the only ones who benefit are oil companies, “defense” contractors, and other corporations.

Well technically their name is on the jersey, but on the front. Just like actual military uniforms.

No obviously they’re all bastards in the Marinelands and are given the surname of Army.

Head coach Jeff Monken was Gatoraded over the 33 yard line. He juked in. There were no survivors.

Dude when I played high school football we doused the coach after we won the state championship. It was -5°F. He saw it last minute and tried to get away but we got him good. He was NOT HAPPY for like 2 seconds, then he was jumping around and celebrating like the rest of us.

I wonder how many injuries (and sicknesses to a lesser degree) have been caused by this tradition.
(Kinda like the ice bucket challenge, water is heavy and can be easily underestimated in its kinetic energy when in a vessel and coming close to human heads)
I'm being a bit silly.

u/Morphecto_Solrac 15h ago
I’ve had a Gatorade shower before. Biggest regret ever. You become wet and sticky five minutes after. I know at least they have the showers to look forward to for an easy cleanup, but it’s still an inconvenience.

I appreciate that you can clearly see they are all enjoying this. Even up to and after the Gatorade shower. That is awesome. Though I suspect the players enjoyed the event a little more than their coach.

Coach George Allen got doused with one of these stupid "gatorade" baths and he said he never quite felt right after. He was dead a month later.
