WARMUP: Gold (& Orange?) Smoke rose up over the circle of pax as the opening riff of “Purple Haze” blared above the din of the mumble chatter.
Coach Rio rushed the players down to the practice field and initiated, a warm-up sequence highlighted by 10 “Down Ups”
THE THANG: for the eighth consecutive year, pax vied for a roster spot on the mythical NE Wake football club.
Mosey to the awning columns, where we I need through a running rack before doing the infamous column slalom to the end & back.
Shuffle over to the suck bricks where we answer tribute questions and did a three island suicide after completing 20 Irkins & 25 LBC.
During a sequence, we also completed 26 quick feet on the curb, 25 Squats.
Our own Elton was a trivia answer to one of the most deeply researched questions in F3 history.
To nobody’s surprise, ECU was the answer to all the other questions.
Everybody knew it was coming, so we then headed over to the grassy field beside the community center to do the legendary “Fumble Drill”.
Despite costing everyone to be careful, YHC suffered a bloody nose, while Thing received a gas to his forehead. Goes to show with 100 years of combined wisdom will get you.
We had to test our actual skills by running various past patterns, and defensive boundary maneuvers while various pax tossed absolute ropes to one another.
Two per penalty if you dropped a good ball.
Five Merkins while waiting in line for your next rep.
There was no competition at the end today, so instead, Coach Rio made everybody run 4 50 yard gassers.
As time expired, 8 Mile pegged the upright on a field goal attempt, however, a squirrel who is having his breakfast on one of the tree branches push the ball inward toward the cross beam, and the kick was good!!! NE Wake Wins!!!!
