When defensive players have their hands on hips after the opposing offense gets two first downs and this is still happening in the 10th game of the season, they are out of shape due to poor S&C coaching.Quote:

Common Sense Rule #1
- Don't use "suck" in any Louisiana Tech slogan.
Common Sense Rule #2
- If you break Common Sense Rule #1, then don't broadcast your idiocy for the world to see.
I actually like the slogan. Why? Because it sums up our football team with Holtz. If Guice decides to keep him here, we might as well embrace it.
#EmbraceTheSuck I'm using for every loss, which will be many next season. I might tag Guice in it too everytime.
I hate the slogan. I might too "old" to get the hip meaning of it, but it says to me, we suck and we embrace that. I agree with Dawg06 --- it has NO PLACE in/around/about LOUISIANA TECH...EVER.
Remember "Major Payne"? What if some hard core military guy didn't like that our S&C coach tried to go military and whipped his butt? I would laugh.
Amen. Negative motivation seldom works. Look up the Warran Spahn / Lou Boudreaux world series story. My favorite motivational story of all times and result of negative inputQuote:

Guess what happens next year once you get punched in the face by Auburn and Oklahoma, you start remembering all the times you were told you suck and it becomes tougher and tougher to stay motivated. Telling someone they suck doesn't build confidence.
On training: I think training for football is different than strength training. This guy trains crossfit style which means kettlebells, squats, dead lifts, WODs, etc. Think of strength without the bulk and you have crossfit style. Crossfit is great for building strength and losing weight, but I don't think it fits so much with the second part of his title (Conditioning). Conditioning means you can keep gas in the tank on every down and knowing just the amount of strength to exert on every play. I think it requires a different form of training. Players also need bulk and crossfit is not going to help you in that regard either.
Embrace the sloshpipes.
Again, "embrace the suck" is not about the team. It's about training. Working harder and pushing yourself even though it sucks at times. It's another way of saying push yourself through the hard times. Embrace that it's going to suck. Accept it, know it's going to be there, and go even harder.
Read the sign and explain how that ties in to the explanation you are giving here. We all know what the military slogan means.Quote:

Embrace the suck has been the motto all offseason. (before the sign came out).Quote:
