Summer Games conclude off-season conditioning; Fall camp next

[Dawgpix]

The 2015 Summer Games were held Friday night at The Joe. The Bulldogs will now take a break before returning for fall pre-season on Aug. 8-9.

Interesting tidbit. I met our new yoga director. S&C Coach Kurt Hester has been asking Coach Skip for someone to conduct yoga in connection with players daily nstretching routine.

It's one of those new things that have caught on with other football programs.

I'll let Sisabella clean up on the story I just broke for you. N

ew certified yoga instructor Morgan Garnett is from Charleston and is already working with the team members daily.

Welcome to Ruston, Morgan. Here she is (left) with Tech video coordinator Janel Lee (right).

Players were broken up into 7 or 8 teams. They competed in team-relay style events, plus some individual.

I bet the players are very excited about their new yoga instructor.

Hopefully they can hide their "excitement" while being instructed.

Dixon is a beast! He is going to be an all out force this year - even more than last year!

Yoga is for whimps! I thought this was 'Mercia!

Anyone recognize anyone from the winning team?

[T1]

I think I recognize Nick Thomason, Bryson Abraham, and Grant Childress.

Michael Mims (in hat) was major encourager for his team besides providing. A team leader to watch.

From what I saw...that might be difficult.

Hey little fellas. Just an FYI: from what old stodgy is saying over on RP, you better hope your summer games were productive, and that your fall camp will be as well. You know, when on this site he has nothing but snarky little comments for us but when he goes to RP....we are all set to give you guys a good game. Takes someone with no ethics whatsoever to be such a freaking hypocrite. At least all the other ltu posters on RP have the balls to be consistent."It should be a good game assuming both teams are healthy."http://www.raginpagin.com/louisiana/showthread.php?255538-Louisiana-at-LA-Tech-to-Kickoff-at-6PM/page10

He's probably just trying to get some of the UL-Laf fans to come to the game. I think most UL-Laf fans still have the memory of last year's blowout going through their heads. They were all pumped up for that game since they thought this was their best team ever and just got demoralized by a superior La Tech team.
