We used to lay around the gym on pads. I don't think there was a lot of sleeping going on.

We won one of the biggest games in school history against a much bigger school with several players who went on to SEC teams on THEIR home field because somebody snuck in a gallon jug of some kind of brandy. More than half the team was drunk and several threw up on the sidelines but would go back in to play. It was hilarious.
The old PEDs I guess: Performance Enhancing Drunkenness?

Even in high school we would eat the pre-game meal and then go to an area of the school and take a nap before the game and wake up, go to the locker room to dress out. Fed and rested before a game is important.
But did you take a nap in a well-lit locker room amongst all the fellas? Not everyone is taking a nap and that would prevent ME from napping! :D

Never understood why anyone would think this is a good idea. Happened at my HS in the early 60's in hoops at the state tourney and our team was 29-0 at that point. Guess what happened!?! Still talked about 50 years later:eek2:

No, it was on the couch in the Home Ec room :). I see your point and maybe resting the eyes would be about the most you could get out of the locker room.

I'm sure Vince Lombardi would love this locker room. Vince was always a strong proponent of his players sleeping before, during and after practice. No doubt he'd dig the NOLA Bordello color scheme.

I don't think I would want to sleep in a locker room. No matter how nice the design is, all locker rooms smell the same.
I realize this was in jest, but there is a special ventilated mud room where the players have to take off pads and cleats. It’s actually a very interesting project that has been well received.

I think they should have had the Purple Mattress company provide each with a custom-sized mattress. Then some Boll and Branch sheets so they can rest like 3 American Presidents. Then maybe their own gold “my pillow” from the guy who has the bad porn Stache.

Maybe they could have attractive ladies hand out warm towels and provide 15 minute foot massages. And then, and ONLY then, will their inner Chakras be aligned and their inner peace be completely positioned to play Bama

Take the fight right out of them Tigers. Peace and Harmony within is much more important LSU.

You have finally figured it out. This is how they finally beat Bama.

Sorry, would have done this in blue, but apparently there is a national shortage of blue. Because they have had to mix it with all the red that’s been gathering in Louisiana for the past 8 years over not beating the Tide. So, I was trying to conserve what was left....
