Found out yesterday that one of our players used to eat in the huddle during games. I don't mean that he used to sneak a Snickers on the bench, either. He used to tuck a lemon into his shoulder pads, peel it in the huddle, and eat it. Sometimes he didn't even peel it. This was the kid who quit on the day of our last game. Presumably, he was angry because, after he missed two practices because (I'm not making this up) he was acting as a costumed character at a haunted house, we benched him.
That reminded me of a kid we had a few years ago. After he graduated we found out that he used to listen to music on the field during games. He'd taped an MP3 player under his thigh pads, ran wires up though his pads, and had ear buds in during games.
So, does anybody have stories about kids who were particularly unusual?

Well, I take a bite out of the lemon when I order iced tea so.... . But, biting into an unpeeled lemon does strike me as odd. Eating during a game? If it's on the bench or on the sidelines, not weird. I haven't come across too many guys munching out on the field, in the huddle, between plays before.

I mean, I took a massive bowl of chili in the box for the second half of a game last year. We were up by a lot, and I was hungry.
We had a kid not play his freshmen year because he didn't want to practice in the summer. Because his older brother was going to college, and he wanted to spend time fishing and frog gigging with him.
Had a kid as a freshmen, and he quit a few weeks into the season. Moved after the school year. He started following me on social media, and I checked up on him. Dude is 16 or 17, and is currently engaged to a 36 year old he had known for 4 months.
Once had a kid drink 3 of those liquid nicotine containers that go on one of those vape stink things. Missed practice to get his stomach pumped.
Kids are weird. And every day, I just hope I wasn't as weird as they are.

One of my assistant coaches swears they'd light up a cigarette in the huddle and pass it around during timeouts when he played.

I had a kid during the summer get out of his car, take one more puff on his cigarette, put it out on the curb, and stepped right into stretching lines.

Copenhagen for breakfast before 2 a days and Redman during practice because it kept you from getting dry mouth.

This is probably more stupid than weird, but at a previous coaching job, we had to kick a kid off the team for using tobacco on the sideline. It was his second offense which was mandatory dismissal per school policy. The reason the kid was dipping on the sideline was because...he was in street clothes serving his suspension for getting caught the first time...
Same school but do not remember if it was the same season: had a kid come up to the front of the bus to essentially tattle-tale to us coaches about something another kid was doing...with a dip in his mouth as he did so.
Just a sidenot: I personally don't care about kids using tobacco, but it is a violation of good conduct policy at most, if not all, schools I've coached at. And, most places I'd presume.

I bet 85% of the male students in my school use tobacco.

These are great!
I played with a QB who had a dip in the entire practice. Copenhagen too. How in the world can you call a cadence loud and dip? Skill!

My middle school head coach served during World War II. He told us about one of his teams from the 50's that the entire offensive line would spit on the DL before each play. Apparently that's a way to know you have a team of ass kickers.

It's all about the thickness of the membrane between the tobacco and and the blood vessels; simple biology.

I mean, it works biologically, but I've never heard of that.
