Ralph Friedgen’s Palace of Motivation
Dec 27th 2007ericjhoroCollege Football
Probably the most underrated aspect of bowl season is the activities and team-building exercises that teams do in their new cities. Take Maryland for example. The Terps are in San Francisco for the Emerald Bowl and coach Fridge thought “What better to do than take my team to see Alcatraz.” And so that’s where they went.
While on the island the team learned that contrary to popular belief, Alcatraz wasn’t built for the movie “The Rock,” but rather to house very bad people. Overall, it was a fabulous trip, and it had the added bonus of reminding players where they might end up if they don’t play their butts and impress NFL scouts. Now that’s what I call motivation. Oregon State better watch out tomorrow.
